Orioles Claim Ramon Urias

By Jeff Todd | February 11, 2020 at 12:47pm CDT

The Orioles announced they’ve claimed infielder Ramon Urias off waivers from the Cardinals. Fellow infielder Pat Valaika was outrighted after clearing waivers, the team further announced.

It’s the latest in a long-running string of infield additions for the O’s, who’ve collected young glove-men at nearly the same rate the Giants have claimed relief pitchers. Urias and Valaika will both be among the camp competitors for utility roles, presuming there is no further action in the next week.

Urias spent most of his developmental time in the Mexican League, impressing there before jumping to the Cards. He’s primarily a second baseman but also has logged substantial time at the hot corner.

Though Urias has shown well with the bat at times over the past two seasons, he hasn’t yet forced his way into the majors. Urias slashed .263/.369/.424 in 375 Triple-A plate appearances last year — a touch below average in that high-powered offensive environment — but has since struggled quite a bit in Mexican winter ball.

    Urias has a good chance to stick in the bigs with the O’s.

          Perhaps skyyalpha was exaggerating to make a point. A point that has been made ad nauseam? Perhaps. But it is clear to me that they were not being literal. Personally I have 20s across the scouting scale except 35+ in hands and 30 in arm strength. I’m pretty sure Baltimore has no one that bad in their entire system.

    The Orioles might have 90 players at spring training this season! Thank God for split squad games…they’ll need to work a lot of people into their spring lineups to evaluate them.

      Interesting point. The Red Sox roster right now is at 38, so they wouldn’t have had to DFA anyone. And if they added someone, they could try to sneak him through waivers like the Orioles did

      Would the orioles have waiver priority over the Red Sox?

      It turned Hanser Alberto into a 300 hitter last year, so why not try it with Valaika?
