Looks like we'll see how good Pie is as he's expected to come off the DL on Monday.

Wieters hasnt been hitting. Plain and simple.

You already ignored Adam Jones and professional scouts regarding his struggles so its quite obvious you would do the same regarding Wieters.

Josh Bell was called up to the O's to take the place of Luke.



It will be great to see what he can do. IMO he is not ready to be up this early but he has a LD% (line drive) of 25% so he is squaring the ball up nicely. He is hitting a lot of doubles but not really HRs but that is a product of the Tides ballpark. I dont expect Sparky or URiss to have any clue about the Park effects of Norfolks homefield and they would say there is no real effect and is just an excuse.

They didnt want to activate Pie early as they wanted him to get more ABs to get ready before facing ML pitchers.

Pie has shown alot of plate discipline and power last season...we will have to wait alittle bit with him but he has potential...of course i guess it is unforunate the orioles can not just go buy a major league / all - star ready position player......atleast we did not trade away a good starter for nothing (cough cough ... curtis granderson) instead we traded nothing for Pie...the trade will eithre be a wash or a win....

I actually played half a dozen games in that ball park ... Pie isn't a HR hitter in that Ballpark or any othe rballpark in this country

Agree with a lot of the things said about Pie, especially his defense and the amount of ground he can cover, BUT....

He can't hit a breaking ball to save his life.

How? He's given some great info but the only thing that has proven itself was Jones for a month.

That LD% has not thing to do with Felix Pie... It was in regard to Josh Bell.

For what it's worth...I'm not talking about Pie's defense. I'm talking about his offense.

Yup. Garret Olson for Pie.

A steal that only something positive can come from. The Cubs handled him poorly and rushed him then didnt give him regular ABs. He came to the Orioles and the Crowley and Trembley both said he was not ready to be playing full time or to even be up at the ML level but since he could not be sent to the minors, without passing through waivers, they had to give him some PT and Crowley worked night and day with him to fix his swing and mechanics.

After those hours or work and when eh started playing full time he batted over .300 and had an OPS over 800

Stop Yelling At Me

However...I can say it time and time again...Cano, Hughes and Gardner are just the recent group of young guys that have performed when called upon from the farm system.

Yes and the Yankees did that while bring up 3-4 HOF players at the same time in their system.

They will never happen again. They got extremely lucky for Jeter, Mariano, Posada, Pettitte to all come up at the same time. Not to mention Bernie Williams.
