Parmelee signed a minor league contract with the Orioles on Monday, which includes an invite to spring training, CSN Mid-Atlantic's Rich Dubroff reports. The Orioles have as much uncertainty in the corner outfield spots and at DH as any team in the American League, so it is easy to see why they appealed to Parmelee, who declined an assignment to Triple-A with the Twins. However, if he was able to make the big league roster, it would be as a low-end bench bat, and therefore he offers very little fantasy potential.
