Jim Thome and Troy Patton could resume playing soon in instructional league. Patton possibly Monday, Thome maybe earlier. #Orioles

Getting Patton back is huge.

Getting Patton back is huge.

As could be Thome's bat coming off of the bench; or even the THREAT of him coming in as a pinch hitter.

Getting back Thome will be a negative not a positive.

Patton I agree would be a huge addition.

Not looking forward to clogging the DH role. Betemit kills Righties. Keep him there.

Don't think the rest of the league hasn't noticed the two big hits by Thome over the last two games. Managers will be thinking about him late in a game.
