These aren’t the big moves of the off-season, but they are solid role-player moves.
Bombs, that’s why the 29 year-old is coming to Baltimore.
To hit BOMBS off lefties.
The O’s outfielders were pretty bad against lefties last year but O’Neill will improve that a ton.
He’ll strike out a lot, but that is kinda just where the game is at now.
The O’s desperately needed one of these big, alpha males and they got one.
Check that box off, certified badass entering the O’s young lineup.
7 of those 11 homers came off lefties, but he only hit .212 off southpaws.
Especially for $8.5 million, chump change.
Just won’t do it.
A veteran who has plenty of playoff experience should help this young ball club a lot.
For instance, he can tell them what it’s like to win a game in October.
He’s still got the power and that is what the O’s were looking for.
Welcome to Baltimore, El Gary!
Still work to be done, mainly with a stud pitcher.
Hard not to like the moves they made, especially for those prices.
