When you think of the Baltimore Orioles and their offensive strategy the past few seasons, it usually consists of hitting home runs and not much else. One of Dan Duquette’s favorite traits about players is that they’re “a guy who can get on base” but it usually ends up being the opposite or they are not as good as advertised.
One player that stands out in this regard is Craig Gentry. A guy with six career home runs, two of which came last season, and a career .334 OBP, an above average OBP and really good considering Gentry is a career .
