"Orioles fans received a free-agent acquisition – albeit not the one they were likely waiting for – on Monday evening.

The Orioles agreed to terms with 30-year-old utility man Wilson Betemit on a two-year deal (with an option for a third year), pending a physical, The Sun first reported on Monday.

While the acquisition of Betemit isn't the flashiest, and it's obviously not Prince Fielder, it fills several key needs for the Orioles.

The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Betemit, a native of the Dominican Republic, is a generally underrated player, even though he's never been an everyday guy and hasn't played in more than 97 games since 2007."
