The impending return of switch-hitter Wilson Betemit from the injury he suffered in spring training does not preclude the Orioles from adding a designated hitter within the next two weeks, according to the clubs top executive.
We have Wilson in our organization. If he is ready, and he can help us, we would put him on our ballclub, but hes not quite ready yet.My way of applying kapton tape to Glass. Hes getting closer, but hes been out for a long time, Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette said Sunday. We want to find another hitter. We have been looking at this issue for a while,Visit us to find a company offering a flexible Protective film Products. and we want to find a solution for DH. [Betemit] can certainly be a solution. He is a good hitter, but he needs some at-bats.
Betemit, who has been sidelined since tearing the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in late March, is on an injury rehab assignment at Double-A Bowie and is scheduled to play at least four games at Triple-A Norfolk next week. Through Saturday, the 31-year-old has batted .368 with a .455 on-base percentage in 11 rehab games at three different levels.
His 20-day injury rehab assignment ends Aug. 26, but its possible the period could be longer if he and Major League Baseball agree to an extension. Duquette said that subject has not been discussed with Betemit at this point.Orioles vice president of baseball operations Brady Anderson watched Betemit take three at-bats for Bowie on Saturday and told manager Buck Showalter that Betemit was getting close, but not quite back to major league form.
I asked Brady, I said, Bring him in and DH him tomorrow? He said, Not yet, Showalter said. Just watching him in between at-bats, moving around, running, you can tell hes kind of feeling his way a little bit. Hes getting there.
Duquettes immediate focus is trying to make a trade to bring in another hitter preferably a right-handed designated hitter to platoon against left-handers when Betemit is healthy. Betemit is a career .281 hitter with a .349 on-base percentage when batting left-handed.
Duquettes pursuit of a hitter is complicated, however, because any target must first pass through trade (revocable) waivers this month. So, the available players are limited someone like the Minnesota Twins Justin Morneau doesnt interest the Orioles much and the club would have to give up players, likely minor leaguers, in any deal.
Weve been trying to find the right player to help us, and were trying to manage that against the cost, the player cost, it will take, Duquette said.
When asked Sunday about whether Betemit could suffice in filling the teams deficiency at designated hitter, Showalter said: Potentially, thats why we are going to look from within first. Thats why Brady went over there last night. Thats why Dan watches the tape every day. We want to make sure the answer is not in your own backyard. Something you are already paying for. We dont have to trade Bowie [players] or anybody for Betemit.
A lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Reno accuses the Nevada Department of Corrections of improperly using a restriction on mail with address labels and envelope tape as a pretext to confiscate and discard copies of Prison Legal News sent to prisoners.
"The First Amendment does not end at the prison door," ACLU Legal Director Staci Pratt told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "Censorship of legal materials through the establishment of arbitrary procedural roadblocks does not comport with the Nevada Department of Corrections' constitutional obligations."
Prison Legal News aims to protect inmate legal rights and educate prisoners on various issues.The ACLU official said the issue goes beyond one publication to encompass the constitutional rights of inmates and publishers to communicate with each other.
Pratt said policies on access to materials could even affect the ability of children to send a report card or other communication to an incarcerated parent.Officials at the Department of Corrections said they don't comment on active lawsuits.
The Human Rights Defense Center, which publishes Prison Legal News, is also a plaintiff in the lawsuit. It seeks a court finding that refusing to deliver the publication is a constitutional violation, an injunction preventing prison officials from blocking the receipt by prisoners, and unspecified punitive and compensatory damages.Pratt said ACLU officials are talking with the Nevada attorney general's office about resolving the case.
It was filed June 28, shortly after corrections officials adopted a new temporary policy prohibiting mailed information related to security issues such as how to make weapons and sexually explicit publications.
Police haven't found the suspect, who is described as a white male, 6-foot to 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds. He was wearing a black sweatshirt, jeans and a black ski mask, police say.Fletcher said the man was just a few feet away from her when he threw the device. She was back to work Sunday afternoon and said she just has a minor injury on her thumb.
Police arrived on scene shortly after the incident and searched the store and the exterior of the Best Western Plus Ramkota Hotel across the street. Occupants in the hotel were moved to the northern side of the building as a precaution.Online supplies a large range of double sided tape.
