So much for talking about catchers...
The same day I write about the need to drop one of our catchers, Javier Lopez gets hurt. Go figure.
Javy's abscence from the lineup will be a greater test for the Orioles than the abscence of Sammy Sosa was. Lopez's trip to the DL means that Geronimo Gil or Sal Fasano will be playing everybody.With Sosa's abscence, there will still plenty of atbats for Gibbons, Surhoff, and eventually Fiorentino in the outfield. But nobody is going to confuse Gil or Fasano of them with Javy Lopez while up to bat.
And as if the loss of Lopez did not hurt enough, it turns out Erik Bedard is going to the DL as well. We will get to see what heralded youngster Hayden Penn can do when he makes his Major League debut Saturday.
We will have to wait and see what happens when the Orioles are finished with the Mariners and Tigers this week, and travel to Boston for four games on Memorial Day. The good news is that after the Red Sox series, the O's play four straight series against the four worst teams in the National League.
