Orioles purchased the contracts of 3B Josh Bell, RHP Brandon Erbe, 1B Brandon Snyder, SS Pedro Florimon Jr., 1B Rhyne Hughes and RHP Luis Lebron.
Barring any unforeseen tinkering, Baltimore's 40-man roster is likely set for December's Rule 5 Draft. Bell, 22, was acquired from the Dodgers in the George Sherrill trade and is considered the Orioles' third baseman of the future. Erbe, 21, enjoyed his best professional season in 2009, going 5-4 with a 2.70 ERA and 1.09 WHIP between Class A Aberdeen and Double-A Bowie. Snyder, 23, is another promising young hitter, batting .289/.362/.460 with 12 homers and 88 RBI between Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk. Florimon, 22, made some real strides in 2009, batting .259/.327/.412 with nine homers, 69 RBI, 26 stolen bases and 76 runs scored. He'll likely start 2010 at Double-A Bowie. Hughes, 26, was acquired from the Rays in the Gregg Zaun trade. He slugged 25 homers in 512 at-bats last season. Lebron, a 24-year-old, put up eye-popping numbers in 2009, posting a 2.54 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and an astounding 13.6 K/9. He could see the majors at some point next season.
