I got that one wrong. I always liked Roberts, but I liked Hairston better.
As is typical for me I liked Roberts because he was higher risk, higher reward for me. Hairston was safe & subsequently boring.
Ultimately, I think the O's made the right choice, but Hairston's durability & positional versatility are nothing to scoff at.

Machado follows with his own weak pop fly. Good movement up from Beckett.

Four pitches, two outs. Not even making him work.

Then again, I can't hate if the pitch is right there to be hit.

There was some consideration at the time of using Roberts at SS (had played there in College)... but didn't have the arm for it... plus Tejada happened...
Jerry had some pop when he came up... was shooting the gaps, hitting a few bombs. Might have changed his approach some and start looking to drive a bit too much. Obviously he wasn't Alomar, and I don't think the defensive metrics ever loved him; but he covered a lot of ground at 2nd in his early years.
Good for him for lasting.
Markakis to Crawford ends the 1st.

Not sure if the Ump has a tight zone, but where I am following is showing a lot of these pitches as strikes.

Strong inning out of Chen. Hopefully he can keep that up.

Nice bounce-back inning from Chen. 34 pitches through 2.

Just realized Kevin has Paul Maholm for $1 in ottoneu. What a start to the season that guy is having.
