Due to Brian Roberts' concussion issues, Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun thinks Robert Andino "has to be penciled in as the starting second baseman" for the Orioles next season. It's true that if the O's go with an in-house candidate, Andino will likely get the call. But, the odds might be greater that either Roberts will come back healthy and regain his job or the team will seek help outside the organization. Connolly is right, though, in saying that Baltimore "should go forward with offseason plans as if Roberts will not be available - and treat it as a pleasant dilemma if he can play." Andino is considered a good defensive player, but the career .245/.302/.331 hitter is probably best served in a utility role.
