The Braves acquired outfielder Jeff Fiorentino from the Orioles for cash, reports David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Fiorentino, 28, signed a minor league deal to return to the Orioles in January after spending a year in Japan. The Orioles drafted him in the third round in 2004, and he owns a .270/.341/.324 line in 173 plate appearances. Last year he hit .246/.356/.325 in 151 plate appearances for the Hiroshima Carp. He'll report to Double-A initially, reports O'Brien.
World Series.
No way.
The Orioles “Saved by the Bell” re-creation squad just took a major hit.
I like his OBP. He’s not starter material obviously but outfield depth is a good thing
His sister, Linda, has a better shot at making the roster.
Gwinnett is going to need outfield depth soon!
Exactly…Just skimmed the headline and said….OH CRAP. Failcoeur is doing fantastic but who did we trade for him.
