Ran across this on the Orioles page today. Let's hope he can stay healthy this year
Nolan Reimold, OF
More than anything, Reimold needs to stay healthy and get some at-bats. Then his natural talent will start taking over. And he's got plenty of it. Reimold has power to all fields at the plate, he runs pretty well, he even has an above-average arm from right field. He just has trouble staying on the field to use all those tools.
In 2006, Reimold had a back problem and plantar fascitis (foot) that allowed him to play in 119 games, much of it not at full strength. Last year, he played in only 59 total games thanks to an oblique injury before trying to make up for some lost time in the AFL. He hit well in 50 games in Bowie, with a .929 OPS. If he can stay healthy in 2008 -- a big goal for Reimold -- the O's think he'll start taking off. Because of his limited time there, he'll likely start the season in Bowie and go from there.
