Shortly after I reported that the Orioles had agreed to a two-year, $7 million deal with South Korean outfielder Hyun-soo Kim -- pending medical review -- the questions started pouring in on Twitter.
The most repeated question – in various forms – was, ‘Does this move mean the Orioles have given up pursuing other offensive players?’
Simply put, the answer is no.
The Orioles have just one set starting outfielder in Adam Jones. Adding a second -- the assumption is Kim will be the primary starting left fielder, though he’ll have to earn that distinction in spring training – is still a legitimate possibility.
