He must be a great fielder for him to still be in the starting line-up....maybe they can use a P to pinch hit for him later in games, at this point having an AL P pinch hitting for him would provide better odds for the O's. Or maybe he should hit right handed as an O's announcer suggested last evening.


Last night the A's were still playing with a shift on him....maybe he should swallow some pride and drop a bunt down the 3b line to get that first hit.

If I were the Orioles I'd try to shame him into retirement so the money can be spent elsewhere. Maybe a promotion for fans in attendance every time he strikes out. Maybe the games are free till he gets a hit.

+1 - now THAT's thinking outside the (batters) box!

I'd say trade him to the Giants, but I don't think Tokyo would want him either.

I'd have to think that the Orioles are getting very close to just eating that money and letting him go. As already has been mentioned, it's as bad or worse then having a horrible hitting pitcher in that spot every game for 3 or 4 at bats. If the Orioles have any illusions of competing in the American League, that's not going to cut it for them.

Have somebody else pick him up to a minor league contract and see if he can possibly work his way back........which I imagine is a long shot at this point.

There's slumps..............and then there's SLUUUUUUMPS!

He's been nearly worthless for 2+ seasons now.

Maybe an injury will occur and since his contract is likely/hopefully insured, the O's will be off the hook. He could end up having the same injury Jacoby Ellsbury has had the past few seasons.

Orioles might want to touch base with Tonya Harding in that case....
