Orioles Claim Edgar Olmos, Designate Junior Lake

By Jeff Todd | December 10, 2015 at 4:03pm CDT

The Orioles announced that they have claimed lefty Edgar Olmos off waivers from the Cubs. Baltimore designated outfielder Junior Lake for assignment to clear roster space.

Olmos, 25, has bounced around via the waiver wire quite a bit in recent years. In fact, Chicago claimed him less than a week ago and obviously sought to stash him with a well-timed outright. Olmos has spent little time in the majors, but has shown an average fastball velocity of over 93 mph and put up a solid 3.55 ERA with 9.3 K/9 against 3.5 BB/9 at Triple-A last year.

Baltimore had acquired Lake last summer in the trade that sent Tommy Hunter to the Cubs. He saw minimal MLB action in 2015 after having factored as a frequent contributor in 2013-14. Lake slashed .298/.397/.431 in his 355 Triple-A plate appearances last year, but has done little at the major league level since a strong debut season.

    Gotta believe a lot of teams won’t mind taking a chance on Junior Lake right?

    So the O’s are in the market for one, if not two or more, outfielders and yet they decided that a 40-man roster spot was better spent on a lefty reliever. That should tell you all you need to know about Junior Lake’s potential for 2016.

      He’s an athletic kid came up a SS, blocked S Castro so they moved him all over the diamond, nothing’s really taking hold, routes in the OF need a lot of work. Type of guy you thought would become really special when he was 20 but now it looks like 5th outfielder might be his ceiling.

        I would think with the tools he has and being 25 years old he has potential still. Lots of big name players were late bloomers. Nelson Cruz, Jose Bautista, David Ortiz, Chris Davis. It takes some of these big bats a few years of seeing big league pitching to find their groove. He looks like he can hit AAA pitching so he will almost certainly get claimed I would think.
