The Orioles have optioned reliever Bob McCrory to Triple-A Norfolk and will call up outfielder Nolan Reimold tomorrow.

Manager Dave Trembley won't know how he'll use Reimold, who's batting .394 with 11 doubles, nine homers, 27 RBIs and a 1.128 OPS, until he checks on the status of Luke Scott and Adam Jones.

Franklin Morales struggling

Morales meltdown.

Fixing what's wrong with prized left-hander Franklin Morales is turning into a long-term project. In a Triple-A loss to Fresno on Saturday night, Morales pitched four-plus innings, coughing up 10 earned runs on eight hits and seven walks. In his previous start for the Sky Sox, Morales pitched five innings of no-hit ball, but he walked six.

"It's more of the same," manager Clint Hurdle said. "He lacked fastball command and he really didn't have a whole lot to bring to the table with his secondary pitches. . . . For whatever reason, the to-do list has gotten extremely long."

The Rockies' goal is to help Morales regain his natural pitching motion and velocity.

"All we're trying to do is revisit with him what he was born to do and the God-given abilities he was presented with," Hurdle said. "Get back to that and then we'll work off that."

Sources confirmed Thursday that the Cubs have a four-player offer for Roberts on the table that includes the addition of hard-throwing pitching prospect Jose Ceda. Infielder Ronny Cedeno and pitchers Sean Gallagher and Donnie Veal also are in the package.

Sounds very good for the O's IMO.
