The latest minor league moves from around the sport…
- The Orioles outrighted Pat Valaika to Triple-A after the infielder cleared waivers and accepted the move off the 40-man roster. Baltimore designated Valaika for assignment earlier this week. Now in his second season with the O’s, Valaika has seen quite a bit of action in a reserve role, and had most recently been getting starts at second base since Ramon Urias was moved over to shortstop. Known more for his defensive versatility than his bat over his six MLB seasons with the Rockies and Orioles, Valaika showed some pop in 2020 but is hitting only .192/.251/.280 over 212 plate appearances this year.
Hi. Was your favorite Charly Weaver, Paul Linde, or Rose Marie?
Marty Allen, Vincent Price, or George Gobel………….
Yall are mistaking Cubs legend Pete LaCock for his dad, Peter Marshall…
Besides, everyone knows that Marshall’s favorite was Charro or Sandy Duncan…coochie coochie coo…
My favorite Bob Gibson story: In 1975, at the end of his career, Gibson is banished to the bullpen. He knows he’s done when he gives up a pinch-hit grand slam to Pete LaCock.
A decade later LaCock comes up to bat in an old-timers’ game – and Gibson drills him.
Yep. Sounds just like something Gibson would have done. The ultimate competitor, he could’ve played for me any day.
The Orioles got the better Urias brother
I like Valaika. He chose the right decision because he’ll be called up before season’s end.
I hate Valaika. Very happy to see him get off the roster. Will he make it back up?
Sure, it wouldn’t surprise me. Stevie Wilkerson’s been floating around the Norfolk/Baltimore shuttle for the last 3 seasons
