Sometimes it's tough to shake off the bad taste that results from a poor first impression. That is currently the position that David Lough finds himself in with the Orioles and their fan base.
Lough struggled mightily as a fairly regular starter in the months of April and May last season, his first with Baltimore. The former Kansas City Royal hit .172 over 58 at-bats in April and then .133 over 30 at-bats in May.
After that, he seemed to be relegated to bench duty, making a spot start here and there to give a guy a day off, but he was mostly a ninth inning defensive replacement or pinch runner for some of the bigger boppers.
