Orioles' Joey Terdoslavich: Placed on waivers, claimed by Orioles

Terdoslavich was placed on waivers by the Braves on Friday and subsequently claimed by the Orioles.

Terdoslavich was the corresponding move for the Braves to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for the newly-signed Kelly Johnson. It didn't take long for the Orioles to snatch him up, but it's difficult to see him serving in anything more than a bench role with the Braves given the other options the club has at first base and corner outfield. The 27-year-old collected a home run and four RBI over 56 at-bats with the Braves last season, and will look to post a strong enough spring training to earn an Opening Day roster spot.
