The Baltimore Orioles are in good shape in LF for 2010
26-year old righty swinging Nolan Reimold will be the Orioles’ starting LF in 2010. He played in 104 games for the Orioles last season and he was 100 of 358 (.279 avg, .831 OPS) with 49 runs scored, 15 homers, 45 RBIs and 8 stolen bases. Reimold made 5 errors in 88 games in LF last season while showing good range. He had 7 assists from LF as he showed off a very strong throwing arm in 2009. Reimold needs to cut down on his errors in 2010 but other than that he is all systems go.
25-year old lefty swinging Felix Pie could get a lot of playing time in LF in 2010 especially as a defensive replacement late in games. Pie played in 44 games in LF last season and he made 1 error while showing out of this world range. He also had 3 assists from LF showing a solid throwing arm.
31-year old lefty swinging Luke Scott will be the starting DH for the Orioles but he can fill in at LF if the need arises. He played 26 error-free games in LF last season while showing outstanding range.
