With Tolleson gone, O's should give L.J. Hoes a look in LF

PostPost #1 by Jordan Tuwiner » June 27th, 2012, 3:15 pm

LJ Hoes is hitting .459 over his last 10 games. He has a patient approach that would play well in the majors. He doesn't strike out a whole lot.

He's hot, can get on-base, and play solid defense in LF. He's what the O's need right now.

They should call him up and give him a look.

Would you be giving him Pearce's place on the 25 Man Roster? Who comes off of the 40? Mahoney?

I would keep Steve Johnson on the roster. I would get rid of Nick.

As long as its Avery or Hoes I don't really care much. I personally would go Avery since he's been up already.

I've been really impressed with both this week though.

I would leave both alone and let them fully develop. However I would see what we could acquire on ML level 8-)

If Nick Johnson goes to the DL, Hoes or Avery could be on their way up.

Tolleson coming back would be funny, though.

I would prefer to see Avery back. I would be looking at letting Nick Johnson go also.

Yeah, he probably hasn't even left town yet. Buck mentioned today when talking about Tolleson that the team has something like 9 straight right handed starters set up to face them in a row so that was part of the reason they sent Tolleson down. If Buck is looking at it like that maybe it will be Avery who is called up.

Avery did not play today also (just felt like it was appropriate to pile on this speculation LOL)
