Orioles: Catching up

ivangetty.jpgOrioles president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail is in
Florida for a few days of R&R, so there probably won't be much going on until
after New Years Day, but I'm pretty sure he'll still be trading phone calls
with the representatives of some of the remaining free agents.

Here's some info from relentless Baltimore Sun baseball writer Jeff Zrebiec,
who managed to turn over some rocks while he was enjoying the holidays with
his family in New Jersey:

Former Oriole Gregg Zaun remains the free-agent catcher most likely to end up
in the Orioles lineup on Opening Day, but there have been conversations with
agent Scott Boras about veteran Ivan Rodriguez (left). Whether he would be a
good fit to mentor Matt Wieters and eventually step aside for the O's top
minor league prospect has been a subject of some discussion in the O's front
office.

My take: It strikes me as a better fit for the pitching staff, which is no
small consideration, but I still doubt IRod ends up here. Unless the player
development people secretly believe Wieters is farther away than they are
saying, it would be bound to create an uncomfortable situation at some point
in the season.

That doesn't mean I'm strongly opposed to the idea. The guy is a 14-time
All-Star and a near-certain Hall of Famer, but he's not a great offensive
player anymore.

The Baltimore Orioles have held conversations with agent Scott Boras about
free-agent catcher Ivan Rodriguez, according to Baltimore Sun writer Peter
Schmuck.

Schmuck doubts Rodriguez will sign with the Orioles, but, in part, it would
hinge on him understanding that he'd need to take a seat when prospect Matt
Wieters becomes ready to play at the major-league level.

→ Belladonaa:不過簽個捕手擋著幾個月不是不錯嗎？

→ Tmk:最後簽到的人恐怕也是替補等級的
→ Liandh:如果I-Rod肯09扛先發帶Wieters..10年轉替補然後退休是最理
→ Liandh:想..但是我懷疑他根本就不會想來巴爾的摩
