A few weeks ago in his daily post for MASN Sports, Roch Kubatko gave a rundown of what the Orioles are shopping for this offseason. They want pitchers, obviously, but according to Roch’s story they also are looking for “left-handed-hitting corner outfielders, first basemen and designated hitters.”
When I saw that first item on the list, there was only one player I could think of: Brandon Nimmo. Technically he has been a center fielder for most of his career, and the Orioles already have one of those. To that I say details, shmetails. Nimmo isn’t better defensively than Cedric Mullins, but there is a huge left field to be dealt with that he could handle and still play center when needed.
