The Baltimore Orioles sign Jeff Salazar
The Orioles have signed 29-year old righty swinging outfielder Jeff Salazar to a minor league deal. Salazar played in 21 games for the Pirates last season and he was 1 for 23 (.043 avg, .197 OPS) with 1 run scored, 1 RBI and 1 stolen base. He has now played in 168 games in his major league career and he is 69 for 298 (.232 avg, .684 OPS) with 44 runs scored, 4 homers, 31 RBIs and 5 stolen bases. He will likely be stashed at AAA this season and get a call to Baltimore if the need arises.
