Christian Walker has never played a professional inning in the outfield - so it sounds a little crazy that the Orioles are moving him to left field for Norfolk. But it will increase his value if it works, either to the O's or somebody else.
The organization that gave us the strange experiment of Steve Pearce at second base is going to be working on a new mad science project: Christian Walker in left field. Walker was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk by the Orioles on Saturday afternoon with the intent of making him an outfielder with the Tides this season.
