semiotter Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I know you thinking what the hell is semi talking about the Orioles for. But most of you that come to this site know my passion for the Os and this is a very big moment for Os fans world wide. Matt Wieters the young catcher that I thought would of stayed on the club after spring training is being called up today!!!! For REDS fans you can compare this with the Jay Bruce call up last year. This guy hits for avg. and power plus has good def. skills so you can see why im excited about this. Along with the other young talent the Os have. We have alot of good things coming down the road. Our farm clubs have alot of talented pitching and good times are coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derekshank Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 I drafted Wieters (probably too early) in my baseball fantasy league this year. I've been waiting for them to call him up all year... but as you mentioned Jay Bruce - that's the treatment they gave him. Waited to call him up to avoid arbitration for one more year.

semiotter Posted May 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Oh well 0-4 in his first game but the Os won again. And they said he played called a good game behind the plate. I looked up other great catchers 1st games stats and Bench, Fisk and Carter were all ohfers in their 1st game to. So Matt is in good company....
