Spring Training Autographs- Roster Long Shots

Today's autograph all feature guys who are/were with the Orioles in Major League camp but are long-shots to make the trip north with the Orioles at the end of the month. 

Oscar's had a very up and down Spring, with some very good games and a few ugly appearances. 

Tolleson and Antonelli have both been solid for most of the spring but are likely left out due to Ryan Flaherty's advantage of being a Rule 5 guy. 

O'Day has been struggling with a groin injury which could earn him a ticket to the DL. 

The next four guys were extreme long-shots to make the team and would have needed to do something ridiculous to start the season with the Orioles. They should all provide depth at AA & AAA and a few could make their way to Baltimore at some point during the season. 

 

Movin' Minor Leaguers

The Orioles made a few minor league moves over the weekend. They signed left-handed pitcher Ryan Edell, right-handed pitchers Eun Chol Choi, Jon Link and Kyler Newby, and outfielders Lee Cruz and Antoan Richardson. 

They re-signed infielder Carlos Rojas, who has been with the organization since 2008, and has bounced between AA Bowie and AAA Norfolk, but is still waiting for his first call-up to Baltimore.

Also re-signing was pitcher, Raul Rivero, who has steadily risen through the organization since signing out of Venezuela in 2005. He has played at every level of the minors for the O's up through AA Bowie, where he spent the entire 2011 season. 

A few other former Orioles minor leaguers signed with other organizations as Mike Ballard inked with the Nationals 

and Brendan Harris signed with the Rockies.
