Brandon Snyder = Paul Konerko?

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:33:33 +0000

Whenever the O’s are mentioned by the (smarter) general baseball media, I tend to take notice. So when Joe Sheehan at Baseball Prospectus got the following question in a chat today (from Drungo, of Orioles Hangout fame I believe): “Will any of the following players be on the Orioles in April: ...

Olivo Over Molina
