Tracking Ex Oriole Thread

[SteveA]

He was only an Oriole from December 23, 2013 to February 21, 2014.   I don't know if he even reported to Sarasota and put on a uniform before being claimed on waivers by the Blue Jays in February.

But White Sox closer Liam Hendriks announces that he has non-Hodgkins lymphoma...

I really hope he can get through this. I wish him the best!

Former All-Star RHP Chris Tillman has been 88-90mph as he returns from shoulder surgery. Tillman has been training at Cressey Sports Performance in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, and anticipates throwing for scouts soon.

Brett Phillips surprisingly (at least to me) gets a major league deal with the Angels:

From Roch:

“Speaking of [Alex] Wells, he remains a minor league free agent. He made two relief appearances last season, allowing two solo home runs and five hits with six strikeouts in 3 2/3 innings, and went on the injured list with a UCL strain. The Orioles outrighted him in September.

“Infielders Rougned Odor and Richie Martin, catcher Robinson Chirinos, first baseman Jesús Aguilar, outfielders DJ Stewart and Yusniel Díaz, and pitchers Matt Harvey and Chris Ellis also remain major league or minor league free agents.”

I think Alex Wells could have success in Japan or Korea, where pinpoint command tends to matter more than elite velocity. I imagine he'd make more as well, but sometimes things aren't all about money and if he wants to be a Major Leaguer I wish him the best. I have enjoyed following his career in the minors and hope he can find success.

Never played an inning off of shortstop in his entire career.     "Positional flexibility", heh.

Sisco signed with them last season after a few days in camp with the Mariners, got into a few games in AAA St. Paul, then was out for the season with an apparent knee injury.

Nelson Cruz to the Padres, Zach Davies re-ups with the Dbacks, Josh Rogers and Ty Black MiL with the Rockies, Louis Head MiL deal with the Phillies, Hanser Alberto MiL deal with the White Sox, Lewin Diaz off to oblivion...

Where is King Felix?  That guy was great a few years ago.  Maybe a couple of years of rest has worked wonders.
