The Orioles have seen enough of Ryan Lavarnway. He was designated for assignment on Tuesday. The team called up Baltimore native Steve Clevenger to take his place.
There must have been some reason why the Orioles decided they wanted to have Ryan Lavarnway on the team at the beginning of the season. We never really saw what that reason might have been. Now it seems we never will. On Tuesday afternoon the Orioles sent Lavarnway to the great DFA in the sky.
There isn't much surprise about this move. It's seemed like the O's only played Lavarnway out of absolute desperation over the first couple of months of the season.
