Right, meaningless. Develop a guy for years, all the way through the minors in the outfield and then switch him to first baseman as he gets to AAA where he has to learn basically everything about fielding first like positioning, foot work, toss to pitchers, scooping throws, pitchoff throws, etc.

Makes no sense to me. Sounds like what we have been talking about with Scott. Probably not that easy and takes a lot of time to get good at it.

If the O's want a corner infielder, they should trade for a corner infielder.

He would go to first base ...Phillies kept him in the OF because they have Howard at 1B. Are you certain he only played the OF in college ball?

Taylor could be used to pry away Forsythe or Darnell from SD, or put in a package to get AGon from SD.

Either way, SD is where I'd look to deal him. They don't have a use for Sherrill really but Taylor is somebody they could really want.

Personally I'd keep him & move him to 1B.

Outfielder in college too.

Prototypical rightfielder with a cannon arm.

Well, Ibanez, Victorino and Werth are their starters. Mayberry is young and did well during the Ibanez DL time.

Stairs has 4 HR's in 69 AB's, not really that special. And he is 41 yo.

Maybe 4 HR's in 69 AB's isn't that special to you, but that works out to 31.5 HR's over 550 AB's, and the O's haven't had anyone on that pace in a long time.

It's in response to a post way back in the thread, where I stated I thought the Phillies had the outfielder thrown in for replacement in AAA of Taylor. Then I was instructed he would be put on their bench, and I asked in replace of who, and I was told Stairs....
