With so little action at the major league level, the cold days of January have been largely been spent perusing the minor league transaction wire. For someone like myself who spends most of the summer at minor league ballparks, these signings are fun to look at. Most are nothing more than roster filler, someone has to pitch for the Norfolk Tides, but many of these signings bring something with them that the organization likes. So, what do the Baltimore Orioles see in recently signed RHP Omar Bencomo?
Bencomo is a 6’1″ right-handed pitcher out of Venezuela who originally signed with the Tampa Bay Rays back in 2007.
