Orioles Sign Alvarez, Add More DH Power
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- The Orioles signed first baseman Pedro Alvarez.
They have been playing Mark Trumbo in right field during spring training, meaning the newly acquired Alvarez figures into a slot as a regular designated hitter.
CBS Sports says the regular starting lineup could look like something like this:
- 3B Manny Machado
- 2B Jonathan Schoop
- 1B Chris Davis
- CF Adam Jones
- DH Pedro Alvarez
- RF Mark Trumbo
- C Matt Wieters
- SS J.J. Hardy
- LF Hyun Soo Kim
The Orioles have been facing some questionable pitching situations lately, but when it comes to the idea of hitters, experts are saying they're going to hit the ball out of the park.
