The Baltimore Sun’s Jeff Zrebiec reports Baltimore Orioles manager Dave Trembley acknowledged OF Felix Pie’s absence due to visa troubles has become a concern.
Our Instinct: Pie, who just turned 24 this month, is going to be given every opportunity to win the left field job. Each day that goes by that he is stuck in Dominican Republic serves as an opportunity for someone else to claim it. If Felix does end up with the job, expect pretty modest numbers this season. A line of .260 avg, 55 runs, 50 rbi’s, 7 hr’s, and 20 sb’s in 460 ab’s. 350-400 points $6-10 value is the most you should expect.
