OF Craig Gentry

Here’s another one of Showalter’s insurance policies. Gentry can swipe a base and play great defense at any of the three outfield positions. He played in 77 games for the Orioles, but had only 117 at-bats, primarily working as a defensive replacement and pinch-runner. He is a luxury to have on a 25-man roster, so you have to think the Orioles will try to re-sign the soon-to-be 34-year-old to a minor-league deal and have him ready for a call-up when needed. If he gets a big-league job elsewhere, he’d take it. If not, you think he’d come back to the Orioles because he knows Showalter is in his corner.
