The Orioles have signed 30-year old switch-hitting 3B Wilson Betemit to a 2-year deal with a club option for the 2014 season. Betemit played in 97 games overall last year for the Tigers & Royals and he is 92 for 323 (.285 avg, .795 OPS) with 40 runs scored, 8 homers, 46 RBIs and 4 stolen bases. He has now played in 697 games in his first 9 years in the majors and he is 469 for 1,742 (.269 avg, .784 OPS) with 223 runs scored, 63 homers, 243 RBIs and 9 stolen bases. The Orioles might view Betemit as their DH and I think he would do a good job in that role as he has always been a solid hitter.
