Fri Jan 10 201419:05Orioles re-sign Alexi Casilla
Orioles re-signed IF Alexi Casilla to a minor league contract.
The deal also includes an invitation to big league camp. The Orioles previously declined their $3 million option on Casilla for 2014, giving them the opportunity to get him back on a much more team-friendly deal. Casilla could only muster a .563 OPS in 2013, but provides a little bit of speed and plus-defense at second base or shortstop.

Mon Nov 4 201318:27Orioles decline Alexi Casilla's option
Orioles declined INF Alexi Casilla's $3 million option for 2014.
They'll pay him a $200,000 buyout instead. Casilla batted a putrid .214/.268/.295 with one home run and nine steals over 62 games this season for the O's. He'll surely have to settle for a utility job this winter.

Casilla is still dealing with some lightheadedness and thumb soreness as a result of his collision with teammate Nick Markakis on Monday, so there's just not enough time for him to get back on the field. The 29-year-old has batted .214/.268/.295 with one home run and nine steals over 62 games this season.

Alexi Casilla left Monday's game against the Rays after his head collided with outfielder Nick Markakis.
Casilla was in the process of making an incredible catch on a Wil Myers blooper, but his head collided with Markikis' quad and then the turf, knocking the ball loose. Although he initially stayed in the game, Casilla was cleared woozy, so it's no surprise that he was eventually removed. He'll surely undergo concussion tests.

Fri May 10 201317:46Casilla to give up switch-hitting
Alexi Casilla will hit left-handed on Friday night, but he's expected to eventually hit exclusively from the right side moving forward.
It's interesting, as the switch-hitting Casilla actually has a higher OPS from the left side of the plate during his career. Still, the Orioles think that he drives the ball better from the right side. We don't expect it to make much of a difference either way.

Fri Nov 2 201215:14Orioles claim Casilla off waivers from Twins

The Twins were going to non-tender Casilla anyway, as he's due a raise in arbitration after making $1.3825 million this season. The 28-year-old will provide insurance at second base with Brian Roberts' uncertain status. Casilla hit just .241/.282/.321 with one homer and 21 steals this season.

Casilla smashed a two-run triple off Justin Masterson in the fifth inning, and added a two-run double off him in the sixth frame. The 27-year-old shortstop has been a bit of a disappointment this season, hitting just .229 with no homers and 20 RBI

Sun May 27 201217:39Alexi Casilla gets on base four times
Alexi Casilla went 3-for-3 with a triple, RBI and walk in Sunday's loss to the Tigers.
The four times on base were a season high for Minnesota's .248/.292/.322 hitting second baseman. With no power and only average speed, Casilla remains a highly-ordinary option for AL-only league players.
