Orioles Talk

With all these Orioles injuries, the O's are struggling early in the season trying to fight through the tough times.

Machado: about to return, the Orioles will have to option an infielder to Norfolk-AAA. Manny will be a big impact to the Orioles, already having good power from Cruz, Young, and others. That leads me to another power-hitter who is sadly injured.

Davis: As many reporters are saying, his return is more important than Bryce Harper. Why? Because there is no other player on the roster that puts up 50+ HR's a season. I mean, Nelson Cruz is doing well, but to have a 2nd player like that would power them forward.

Hardy: With common back-spasms, the Gold-glove short stop is not putting up stats like 2012 or 2013. His bat has previously helped the lineup, but isn't providing as much anymore. Well, we will just have to keep watching the O's and hope they can make people proud in BirdLand.
