MATT WIETERS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Matt Wieters Is Good At Baseball
The other day on the radio, I heard some argument as to whether or not the Orioles should sign Matt Wieters to a $10 M a year contract. The part that got me was that even the people in favor seemed to assume that Wieters would take such a deal. When I expressed that idea, I received a fair bit of push-back - it seems like people don't think that Wieters is actually that good...

When Matt Wieters does walk-off, game-winning hits, he apparently likes to do it with some panache. When the Baltimore Orioles catcher was presented with the bases loaded and nobody out in the bottom of the tenth inning in a 6-6 ballgame against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night, Wieters didn’t settle with looping a soft base hit over the head of the infield loaded with five...
Chicks Dig the Long Ball: Baltimore Orioles Matt Wieters with the Walk-Off Grand Slam
For years there was one thing that you could count on the Baltimore Orioles to do--suck. These guys were simply not very good. Then last year that all changed, but was it a fluke one-year thing or are these guys for real.

The Crystal Ball 2012: Matt Wieters
Matt Wieters is finally starting to fulfill the massive promise he showed in the minors.His bat finally started to come around and he flashed some of that power we expected to see from Day 1.
