Orioles outfielder L.J. Hoes joins Orioles Hot Stove

Recently re-acquired outfielder LJ Hoes joined Jim and Roch on Orioles Hot Stove to discuss coming back to Baltimore and his expectations for the 2016 season.

 After 2 1/2 years in Houston, LJ Hoes is back in Baltimore. Hoes was traded to Houston at the 2013 trade deadline as part of the deal that brought Bud Norris to the Orioles. Hoes batted .242 with 4 home runs and 22 RBI's in his time with the Astros. He was originally drafted by the Orioles in the 3rd round of the 2008 amateur draft.  When asked about his return to Baltimore, Hoes said "It feels like Christmas started early. I'm very happy to be an Oriole again."
