Newsbreakers
September 29, 2009

September 26, 2009
According to MASN.com, injured outfielder Felix Pie could return to the lineup next week.
Our View:
Pie injured his hamstring in the seventh inning of Friday's game while trying to beat out a double play ball. The injury was originally thought to be more serious, but it looks like Pie will just need a few more days of rest. He's hitting .304 in his last 33 games.
September 25, 2009

September 21, 2009
Felix Pie was productive in tonight's 9-2 loss at Toronto, as he went 1-for-3 with a single and two RBI.
Our View:
The Orioles only had six hits, and Pie was their lone source of scoring. He was in need of a solid performance, as he only notched one RBI over his previous seven games.
September 19, 2009
Felix Pie went 3-for-4 and hit his ninth homer of the season in an 11-5 loss at the hands of the Red Sox on Saturday.
Our View:
Pie was hitting just .182 this month with one home run and two RBI before his bat woke up on Saturday. Unfortunately, he seems destined to be outdone by his own hype and has yet to live up to his potential.
August 30, 2009
Felix Pie went 1-for-3 and cracked a two-run homer against the Indians on Sunday.
Our View:
Pie has seen regular playing time in August and has made the most of it. He's hitting .333 with five homers and 13 RBI this month and three of his long balls have come in the last four games. Maybe he's finally putting together a stretch that mirrors his potential.
August 30, 2009
Felix Pie was available on Saturday, but he did not play for precautionary reasons, according to MLB.com. Pie has been dealing with an injured hamstrng.
Our View:
Pie filled in nicely while center fielder Adam Jones was out, but now that Jones is back Pie will move back to his utility role. The team hasn't indicated if he will be in the lineup on Sunday, but if his hammy is still tight he will likely sit.
August 29, 2009
Felix Pie is dealing with a sore hamstring, according to the Baltimore Sun. He suffered the injury while slipping on wet grass in center field.
Our View:
Pie has been performing very well while filling in for injured All-Star Adam Jones. Pie expects to be OK, but the Orioles are yet to update his status.
August 26, 2009
Felix Pie went 1-for-2 with a solo homer off Nick Blackburn in tonight's 5-1 win at Minnesota. He also drew two walks and scored two runs.
Our View:
Pie did a good job tonight while replacing injured All-Star Adam Jones (sore back) in center field. Three of his five homers for 2009 were hit this month.
August 14, 2009
Felix Pie hit for the cycle in tonight's 16-6 win over the Angels at Camden Yards. He went 4-for-5 with four RBI, and his homer was a solo shot off Jered Weaver.
Our View:
Pie hit for the cycle for the first time in 2009, and was only hitting .188 over 16 brief at-bats this month heading into tonight's game. He started in left field as Nolan Reimold worked in the DH role in place of Luke Scott.
July 8, 2009
According to the Baltimore Sun, the Orioles are fielding trade offers for oufielder Felix Pie and infielder Oscar Salazar. The team will need a roster spot for the soon-to-be-activated Caesar Izturis, and both players are out of options.
Our View:
Since either player would likely get pick up on waivers, the O's will try to get something for one of them through a trade. Pie seems a more likely trade candidate, as he has some tools that teams could find appealing and the O's have a good deal of depth in the outfield.
June 7, 2009
Felix Pie exited Saturday's battle with Oakland after hitting a foul ball that bounced off the dirt and struck him in the throat, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:
Nolan Reimold replaced him in the outfield. It is yet to be determined if Pie will need to miss more time with the ailment.
June 3, 2009
Orioles team president Andy MacPhail says that despite Felix Pie's struggles, the team is not considering sending him down to the minor leagues because he would have to clear waivers MASN.com is reporting.
Our View:
Pie has struggled mightily this season, batting only .215 with a .278 on-base percentage. And with Nick Markakis, Adam Jones, Luke Scott and Nolan Reimold all ahead of him in the Orioles outfield, he should struggle for at-bats as well. In spite of all of his talent, under no circumstances, save for the deepest of keeper leagues, should he be on your team.
May 13, 2009
According to MLB.com, Felix Pie is out of Wednesday's lineup due to a stomach illness.
Our View:
Pie left Tuesday's game with the stomach problem and after initially thinking he would be fine for today's game, his condition worsened. He has been sent to the hospital for tests and will be reevaluated. The specifics of the illness are currently unknown.
May 2, 2009
Felix Pie's grip on the left field job is slipping. The Orioles haven't given up on Pie, but manager Dave Trembley wants to five more time to Lou Montanez. "I don't think you grade Pie after 54 or 55 at-bats or whatever he's had, but competition is a healthy thing," Trembley tells the Baltimore Sun. "Right now, I'm just trying to find the right combination to see if we can get on track and win some games."
Our View:
Fantasy owners can't be surprised by this news. Pie is hitting a meager .157. Montanez brings more pop, and the Orioles are confident his bat will come around. Mixed leagues owners should avoid this left field situation.
April 17, 2009
Felix Pie will not be in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox, according to the Baltimore Sun. Ryan Freel will get the start in left.
Our View:
Pie is only hitting .217 so far in 2009, but he is a plus defender which keeps him in the lineup. He can steal a base and score some runs every once in a while, but his fantasy value is limited at best.
April 13, 2009
Felix Pie went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and an RBI as the Orioles beat the Rangers 10-9 on Monday.
Our View:
This was easily his best game since joining the Orioles in the offseason. His defense keeps him in the lineup, but if he figures out a way to get on base more and use his speed, he could still fulfill his fantasy potential.
April 11, 2009
Felix Pie had two of the Orioles' seven hits Thursday and both of those hits went to left-center field, according to the Baltimore Sun. The outfielder has been concentrating on hitting the ball to the opposite field, and it appears to be working. "I'm working on making my swing a little shorter, work the other way and don't pull it," Pie said. "I've worked all spring training with the hitting coach, Crow. Stay and wait for the ball."
Our View:
Pie has been taking early batting practice every day and appears dedicated to ridding himself of the pull-happy tag. He has all five tools and could be a fantasy force if he puts it all together.
April 8, 2009
Felix Pie is expected to start tonight's game against the Yankees at Camden Yards, according to MASN Sports. He will roam in left field.
Our View:
Pie should see enough playing time this season to be worth a look for AL-only leagues, but he holds a .223 average over 260 career at-bats in the majors.
March 26, 2009
Orioles outfielder Felix Pie got one hit in his three at-bats in Baltimore's 11-6 loss to the Marlins, and he is now hitting .195 for the spring.
Our View:
It's been a rough spring at the plate for Pie. His defensive acumen is not in question, but he'll need to start hitting soon if he wants to accumulate at-bats in Baltimore once the season gets underway. Getting his batting average over .200 would be a good start.
March 14, 2009
Felix Pie went 2-for-2 with three RBI in Saturday's 9-8 win over the Red Sox in the Grapefruit League. He hit a single and a two-run homer, his first of the spring.
Our View:
This was a good outing, but he is still behind in his bid to win a starting job in the Orioles' outfield.
March 7, 2009
Felix Pie went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts as the Orioles fell to the Marlins 3-2 on Saturday.
Our View:
Pie is now 3-for-11 this spring with three singles, no steals, and one caught stealing. He'll need to do better if he believes he can be a starter in Baltimore.
February 27, 2009
Felix Pie had an eventful day against Florida on Friday, going 1-for-2 with a walk and an outfield assist but also striking out once, getting caught stealing and committing an error in center field.
Our View:
Pie is a former top-prospect turned bust from the Cubs' organization whom the Orioles acquired this offseason. With Nick Markakis in right and Adam Jones in center, Pie's best chance for playing time probably comes in left where Luke Scott is currently tabbed as the starter. Pie certainly has the tools to win the job at some point over the course of the year, but he'll have to provide more consistency.
February 23, 2009
The Baltimore Sun reports that outfielder Felix Pie has managed to clear up the problems with his visa and he is expected to report to Orioles camp on Tuesday.
Our View:
Pie will have to impress this spring to land even the fourth outfielder spot in Baltimore. The 24-year-old has some nice tools, unfortunately making contact is not one of them.
February 23, 2009
Felix Pie is yet to report to Orioles' camp due to visa issues in the Dominican Republic, according to the Baltimore Sun.
Our View:
The club is hopeful the problem will be resolved in the next day or so. Pie is yet to prove he can be a good hitter in the majors, and will be fighting for a roster spot in a crowded Orioles' outfield upon his arrival, meaning he should be left for deeper AL-only leagues.
January 18, 2009
Fox Sports reports that the Cubs have traded outfielder Felix Pie has been traded to the Orioles for Garrett Olson and Single-A right-hander Henry Williamson.
Our View:
Pie enters another crowded outfield in Baltimore and while he should make the Major League roster, he will have to battle for a starting job. Nick Markakis, Adam Jones, and Luke Scott still would likely be their starting outfield barring injury. Pie is a career .223 hitter in the majors.
January 14, 2009
The Daily Herald reports that outfielder Felix Pie is likely to be dealt before Opening Day. One of the main reasons cited is that the outfielder is out of minor-league options.
Our View:
Pie plays good defense and has good speed, but he has not shown much ability to get on base. Regardless, there figures to be a number of teams interested in the center fielder.
