O's Lose Wigginton

Another day at the Winter Meetings and the Orioles lose a key run producer from their team last year. Ty Wigginton, the utility infielder, signed a 2 year $7.5 million contract with the Colorado Rockies. Wigginton played first, second, and third base for the Orioles in 2010. He was clutch early on last season and was named to the All-Star team, but found his struggles in the second half of the season.

The acquisition of Mark Reynolds would most likely have affected Wigginton's playing time. The Rockies were in need of a right-handed utility bat and Wigginton fits the bill. He ended up hitting 22 HR in 649 plate appearances for Baltimore.
