Dan Duquette added the current MVP of Can-Am League, Joe Maloney, to the Baltimore Orioles organization.
Maloney is 27 years old and has played on several teams in independent leagues and in two minor league systems. He played with the Rockland Boulders with the Canadian-American Association. On this team, he hit .282/.359/.638/.997 with 35 home runs and 102 RBIs. This was in 99 games.
Let me repeat, 35 home runs in 99 games. And, nearly a 1.000 OPS.
Maloney could be a seriously exciting signing. This kid can hit.
In 2011, Maloney was signed by the Texas Rangers.
