Palmeiro Loses Starting Position
According to AP reports, Rafael Palmeiro has lost his position as starting first-baseman for the Baltimore Orioles.
Rafael Palmeiro has lost his job as the Baltimore Orioles’ regular first baseman, the result of a prolonged slump that began after he returned from a 10-day suspension for testing positive for steroids.
Mired in a 2-for-22 skid in which he has gone hitless in his last 14 at-bats, the left-handed hitting Palmeiro did not start Monday against Oakland right-hander Kirk Saarloos.
