Over at the Orioles website, Spencer Fordin answers some questions. Like with MASN, I always struggle to figure out what he is being told by the Orioles and what (if any) are his own opinions. Anyway, the latest edition has some interesting nuggets:Quote:
Koji Uehara had a rough year injury-wise, but we have seen how well he does the first time around a lineup. Could he possibly be in line for a setup or closer job next year?
-- Will S., Alexandria, Va. That is indeed the plan for Uehara, who developed hamstring and elbow ailments over the course of last season. The Orioles hope to convert the veteran back into a late-inning reliever, a role in which he enjoyed some success toward the end of his tenure in Japan. That, in turn, would allow Jim Johnson to work the eighth inning more often. And another:
Quote: Is there any chance we could see Nolan Reimold give it a try at first base, potentially solving part of the power shortage in the infield and as freeing up time for Felix Pie and maybe Lou Montanez?
-- Dean S., Columbia, Md. Sure, that could definitely happen on a limited basis, but I think it's far more likely you'll see Reimold and Pie continue a time-sharing arrangement in left field. Pie will also play center field on occasion and Reimold should see time at designated hitter, but the Orioles are fairly happy with letting them jockey for position in left
