Why sign Danny Valencia if he can't go down to the Minors?
-- Tammy L., Baltimore
Why? Look no further than the recent injury to Chris Davis. All it takes is one injury for the O's depth to be tested. Valencia hits lefties incredibly well, has familiarity with the organization and can play first base, third base and both corner-outfield spots. It's a fairly low-risk scenario, especially given that the utility-infielder role is far from being decided. Why not?
Do the Orioles have any interest in Jake Arrieta?
