After center fielder Adam Jones lamented the athleticism and defense in the Orioles' corner outfield spots, the team seemed to prioritize giving players who fit that bill a chance this spring.
They already had Chris Dickerson in the system, but brought in Craig Gentry as another talented defender who can play a corner outfield position and compete for a roster position. Add in the athletic minor league free agent Logan Schafer and Rule 5 pick Aneury Tavarez, there were plenty of new faces who could possibly have improved the Orioles' outfield defense.
