I would doubt it is possible, but if the O’s paid Baez’s salary, I wonder if they could obtain Colorado’s AA Short-stop Chris Nelson?
Nelson has only played 29 games with AA Tulsa, and I am unaware of what injury he was dealing with.
Nelson turns 24 in Sept… in his 29 games with Tulsa, he has had 107 at-bats, with a .832 OPS. In 2008, he had 283 at-bats with Tulsa and a .670 OPS.

The 2004 1st round pick has slipped in the prospect rankings.In 2005, he was the 26th ranked prospect in baseball, in 2008 he was the 7th ranked prospect for Colorado. Might never amount to much, but he is the exact type of player you would hope to obtain.

A positional prospect with ceiling, at a position of need, that could go to AA Bowie and be a strong 350-500 at-bats from pushing for a spot on the ML roster.
