Is this where I am? Is this what I’ve become? Have the Orioles, now unequivocally the worst team in all of Major League Baseball, played at such an astonishingly low level for so long that I’m forcing myself to heat check Hanser Alberto? One of the three or four guys that have put a return on the MLB.TV investment?
Yes, actually, that’s the one.
It feels especially dirty to discount Alberto considering he’s carved himself an everyday role in a big league lineup. He was waived four times over four months this past offseason without much of a big league reputation to boost his standing.
