Orioles sign Cintron to a MiL contract.

This guy should be a pretty decent upgrade to what we currently have at Short-stop. Not alot of HR pop but he has a good enough bat to poke the ball all over the field.

This signing is funny to me though. The Orioles originally tried to sign him in the off season. He instead opted to sign for the Cubs, then gets cut by the start of the season, and THEN signs a minor league contract with the Orioles.

If he had just signed with us in the first place he would have been the opening day starter at SS. I guess that's how bad people just don't wan't to play for the Orioles.

Oh well, he won't be in Norfolk for long. If Luis Hernandez gets any worse he may be here by the end of the month. I honestly don't see why they just don't bring him up now.

Also, has anyone ever wondered why they never play the day after opening day? Seriously thats annoying. I know I good deal about the game, but for some reason I have never taken the time study up on that. I guess I will have too now.
