It seems like Baltimore is in a permanent identity crisis. Are they rebuilding or not?

The Os didnt have a 5 tool stud to start with. I feel like this is trading 2 cans of spam for some ground chuck. They might be able to turn Reynolds around and have a semi-decent 3B, but at the end of the day they've still got a career avg .240 hitter with 35 HRs thats struck out 200 times 3 straight years.

People are arguing that the ks are fine because he's not hitting into double plays but at the same point if he k's with runners on and 2 outs it ends the inning anyway so it doesnt matter. About the only thing I like about him is that I think he had 80 walks last year which would have led the Os, he had the 5th highest pitch per PA in the majors...

Also from what Ive read, he doesnt want to come to Baltimore which sounds like a recipe for disaster.

The Orioles are just trying to field a team that won't be as embarassingly awful as they were the first half of last year. 3B was definitely a major hole after the Atkins and Josh Bell experiments bombed and they didnt have anyone else in the system, and the same goes for 1B, SS. They have a lot of good young pitchers but they are not all panning out so it would be nice to have a decent veteran SP too.
