Good morning, Camden Chatters.
How would you spend a week in Las Vegas? Playing the slots? Seeing a few shows? Camping out at the blackjack table?
Well, if you’re the Orioles, you’d spend your time collecting infielders. After four days at the winter meetings, the Birds left Vegas with three more infielders than they arrived with. They claimed Rio Ruiz on waivers on Monday, and yesterday they added a pair of Rule 5 picks, Richie Martin and Drew Jackson, to fill their 40-man roster.
Mike Elias is doing his best to address one of the Orioles’ many glaring weaknesses, as the Orioles’ infield depth throughout the organization is noticeably lacking.
