  Fernando Lunar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Lunar came to the Orioles with a no-hit, solid-field reputation, and the Orioles were hoping for improvement as he was only 24 years old.
There was nothing in Lunar's minor-league numbers to make one think he'd ever be a hitter, and his 180 plate appearances for the 2001 Orioles did not change anyone's mind.
Lunar does have a cannon for an arm, though he does not totally shut down running games.

 washingtonpost.com: O's Bank on Youth
One obvious veteran-vs.-rookie decision is at backup catcher, where veteran Greg Myers appears likely to be traded before the end of the spring and the job given to Fernando Lunar, a 23-year-old defensive specialist.
Lunar's case is aided by two factors that have nothing to do with ability: He is out of minor league options, meaning the Orioles must either keep him or subject him to waivers, and he is all the Orioles have to show for the B.J. Surhoff deal with the Atlanta Braves last July.
Conine, who once seemed a likely candidate to be traded, is now valued for his veteran presence and clubhouse influence; Gibbons and Kinkade, who have made big impressions with their bats this spring, both face use-them-or-lose-them situations similar to Lunar's.

One guy everyone was sure about, though, was catcher Fernando Lunar, whom Thrift had picked up from the Atlanta Braves in the B.J. Surhoff deal.
This is how bad Lunar was: As a major-league hitter, coming into this year, he was inferior to Scott Erickson.
Myers was an extra catcher on a team committed to Fordyce and Lunar, and a left-handed bat on a team that needed to get young lefties Gibbons and Richard to the plate.

Fernando Lunar and Geronimo Gil are both Syd Thrift time-warp acquisitions that might have made sense in a world where people didn't care if catchers could hit or not, but major-league baseball isn't played on that planet any more.
Carrying and liberally compensating a backup catcher to teach future backup catchers how to be backup catchers is the Orioles' organization in a nutshell.
If Lunar gets claimed on waivers, it will be both an upset and no loss.

Lunar’s second at-bat of the inning resulted in a three-run homer into the picnic area beyond leftfield.
