The Orioles unveiled a list of 14 non-roster invitees to Major League Spring Training on Monday, including a trio of new signings in right-handed pitchers Armando Galarraga and Pat Neshek and catcher Ronny Paulino.
Other non-roster pitchers invited to camp include Willie Eyre, Steve Johnson, Jon Link, Miguel Socolovich and Oscar Villarreal along with left-handed pitchers Ryan Edell and Dennys Reyes. In addition to Paulino, the following position players will be in camp: catchers John Hester and Brian Ward, outfielder Scott Beerer and infielder Steve Tolleson.
Nine of the 14 players invited to camp have previous big league experience. Galarraga garnered national attention when he fell one out shy of a perfect game against the Indians June 2, 2010, due to first-base umpire Jim Joyce’s admittedly incorrect call on what would’ve been the game’s final out. The right-hander went 3-4 in eight starts for the Arizona Diamondbacks last season and also spent time with Triple-A Reno.
