Tracking Ex Oriole Thread

Brett Wallace has been better for Buffalo than he was with Norfolk, carrying a .790 OPS compared to .718, but still well below his AAA career .842 OPS.

LJ Hoes' stay on a 40-man roster looks about over, as he completely floundered at the major league level this year and has been passed by several players. He keeps on putting up a .400 OBP in AAA but with the Astros facing a roster crunch this winter, he could easily lose his spot.

Xavier Avery is actually about to set a career high for OPS this year, unfortunately it is at AAA, and only .741. IIRC, he was already removed from the 40 man roster by the Seattle Mariners.

Xavier Paul, whom the Orioles released from the AAA team, was quickly snatched up by the Diamondbacks and added to their active roster, only to pretty terrible in SSS.

Our AAA is pretty deep. The fact we just released this guy, who was define rely decent and picked up by a major league club.', says a lot.

Jim Johnson gonna get DFA again watch.

Wow 2 hits and 2BBs and all 4 score. He might very well be DFA'ed tonight to make room for a fresh bullpen arm tomorrow. It is amazing how bad he has been. And how desperate Detroit was. He even asked for an extra outing at AAA and they still thought he was ready for the majors.

He needs time to work on things, he rushed it. Got shelled today it looks like.

If the Orioles were willing to sign him, the smart play for him would have been to sign with Norfolk and stay down until the minor league season was over, while working with the coaches he was unfamiliar with, and come to Baltimore after rosters expand. Instead, he pitched poorly in his minor league appearances and has been equally as bad in the majors. Alas, he will most likely be released and not catch on with a team until next year since the minor league season is over in 10 days. With a decent showing to end the year he might have earned a guaranteed contract for $1-2M next year, but now will most likely have to settle for a ST invite.
