Schmuck: O's interested in Sexson

[BaltimoreTerp]

I don't think Sexson is a bad experiment if he's signed to a minor league deal, but why are they so anxious to get a 1 year first baseman.

It's really rediculous that they have no faith in Reimold/Montanez/Scott/Salazar in some way filling LF and DH.

Or Huff in filling first base.

[Gurgi]

Sexson's skills are from the Roid Era. Pass.

[Big Mac]

That would mean moving Scott to DH and letting Reimold play LF..Makes too much sense.

Yeah, why would we use the talent we already have when we could just sign guys with less talent and potential to take their spots.

[bird watcher]

This only makes sense if he has deals pending for Huff/Scott. I will give the benefit of the doubt until all these guys end up on the roster.

Terrible. Awful. Sexson would have been a good guy to take a flyer on in any of the last 3 or 4 years, but not now. Why does this organization insist on going out of its way to block Reimold? What is the harm in giving him the starting job in LF? If Sexson is acquired to play first, Huff or Scott had better be dealt. This is getting ridiculous.

Honestly, what is the point of this? Even if Sexson does have a comeback year and gives us very good production, he will not be worth the cost to retain him, we will have glanced over Reimold another time and we're exactly where we left off come 2010. If it's not Tex or Dunn and it's not a 0-3 guy, let it go.

I'm not advocating this for Reimold... but maybe the Orioles want him to play at each level????

[leapinghorsered]

I actually think we'd be better off bringing Millar back than Sexson. Sexson is absolutely awful.

[RVAbird]

Then he should have been promoted last year. He'll be 25 in 2009. He's about as ready as he'll ever be.

[clapdiddy]

This is going from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Unless Sexson's been on some sort of workout regimen that makes him swing the bat better (), the only Oriole uniform I'd want him wearing is the batboy's. And that's only if THE batboy called in sick that day.

[Andy_Dufresne]

Getting the pitchfork...lol.

Conine or Surhoff unavailable:confused:

[clapdiddy]

Getting the pitchfork...lol.

Just let me know...I'll buy one and meet you there!

[The Azman]

ever since the drug-testing began, his numbers declined each year.

Pass

How badly do the O's want to clinch last place? Do they really have to sign and play these types of players too?

[statman]

But that's much less exciting than our potential off-season of Izturis, Hendrickson & Sexson.

hahaha made me laugh :laughlol:

[BRob51]

Let me preface my take by saying this: I am all for Huff at 1B, Scott/Reimold/Montanez at DH and LF.

Richie Sexson is not a bad signing.

Will he suck: probably

Could he be lightening in a bottle: maybe

The guy has hit 40 HR before, was consistently in the 30's. This is just like the Pena situation. It's a risk, but what the hell do we have to lose?

[Sports Guy]

Pretty horrible but rather him than Hinske.
