The Baltimore Orioles may not be looking for a player to replace Jay Gibbons' spot on the roster. Gibbons' 15-day suspension could be lifted as part of an agreement between owners and the union according to the Associated Press.
That's bad news for former Revolution outfielder Tike Redman and utility player Scott Moore. Redman and Moore had been competing for what many insiders believe is the final spot on the Orioles roster.
The Washington Post reported that even if Orioles manager Dave Trembley decides to stick with Moore or Redman after today's exhibition game, that player still may not earn a roster spot until Gibbons' status is known.
Redman and Moore could both be headed to Norfolk, and Gibbons -- who batted .230 last season and has admitted using HGH -- could be back in Baltimore.
