Remember that time Jordan Schafer was a great prospect with great chemistry and it led to a 50-game suspension? Maybe he means that.

Orr does have a certain indomitable courage about him

Bench is pretty scrotal though. Gillick better get out of the country kitchen buffet and be on the lookout for Branyan/Stairs 3.0

what exactly did Orr do this spring?

by **WheelsFellOff** » Wed Mar 30, 2011 21:20:26

He was pretty good at not being latino.

Good speed, hit 4 3Bs and stole a base.

But he made the team because he can play third.

An oft-overlooked skill

.834 OPS, including five triples? I don't really know whether he's good or not, but he had a good spring.

I'm assuming we'll see a lot more pinch running out of Orr than pinch hitting.

You bring him in when a home run would kill a rally, but a triple would be just the ticket.

And he can play both the INF and OF.

If you are using the term 'play' loosely, then yes.

by **Doll Is Mine** » Wed Mar 30, 2011 21:52:13

Yeah, he made the team simply because he can back up at third and center. I suppose he can come off the bench and pinch run late in the game ala Michael Bourn in 2007.

by **Werthless** » Wed Mar 30, 2011 21:58:04

We'll need fewer pinch-hitters with out starters always going 7+ IP.
