The Orioles have called up 28-year old lefty swinging shortstop Freddie Bynum from his rehab assignment and they have named him the starting shortstop replacing Luis Hernandez. Bynum has been awaiting his big shot in the majors and it appears to have arrrived this season. He has played in 2 games for the Orioles this season and he is 4 for 8 (.500 avg) with 3 runs scored. He has now played in 150 games in his major league career and he is 66 for 247 (.267 avg, .764 OPS) with 44 runs scored, 6 homers, 24 RBIs and 16 stolen bases. He has also whiffed 78 times in his major league career which is alarming for a slap type hitter. Luis Hernandez just couldn’t take advantage of his big shot this season. He has played in 30 games for the Orioles this season and he is 17 for 70 (.243 avg, .561 OPS) with 9 runs scored, 3 RBIs and 2 stolen bases.
