The Orioles added a back-up catcher to their
roster today, claiming Craig Tatum off of waivers from
the Reds. To make room, the team designated left-handed pitcher Chris Waters (who I haven’t “Better Known” yet) for assignment. Tatum’s 26 years old and has just 77 ...

Whenever the O’s are mentioned by the (smarter)
general baseball media, I tend to take notice. So
when Joe Sheehan at Baseball Prospectus got the following question in a chat today (from Drungo, of Orioles Hangout fame I believe): “Will any of the following players be on the Orioles in April: ...

Congratulations to Tim Lincecum for winning the NL
Cy Young award this year, as well as to
the BBWAA voters for actually giving it to him. I was fairly sure that Chris Carpenter was going to win based on his league leading 2.24 ERA and 17-4 record, or – failing that – it would go to his ...

Zack Greinke won the AL Cy Young award,
with 25 of 28 first-place votes. It should have
been unanimous, but I won’t quibble with that. Instead, I’d decided to bring attention to a few quotes from this NY Times article over at MLB Notebook . It talks about how Brian Bannister ...

A Super-Two is a player qualifies for salary
arbitration after their second year in the big leagues
as opposed to after their third (as is the usual circumstance). From Cot’s Baseball Contracts : “The top 17 percent of players with at least 2 but less than 3 years of Major ...

Some people would like to see the O’s
really jump into the free agent market this off-season
and make some big moves to get the team into contention as soon as next year. Can the team spend their way into the playoffs in 2010? Let’s take a really silly theoretical look. First we ...

The Rookie of the Year awards were announced
today, with A’s closer Andrew Bailey taking the award
in the AL and Marlins outfielder Chris Coghlan winning in the NL. I was largely resigned to these decisions, though I don’t think they were correct. My self-righteous indignation and ...

More trade rumors, this time with the O’s
being interesting in Florida second-baseman Dan Uggla, who they
would presumably move to third-base. Uggla can certainly swing the bat with a career .257/.344/.482 line, but his defense isn’t great (-9.6 UZR/150 last year, -2.9 UZR/150 ...

With news recently that the Cincinnati Reds have
to cut payroll for next season, one of the
names (and contracts) on the trade-block as a result is starting pitcher Aaron Harang. With the Orioles potentially in need of a rotation upgrade, could Harang be a bow-low candidate for them? Harang ...

In his post of the top 50 free

only one guy going to the Orioles – Carlos Delgado. (It should be noted that Troy Glaus, among others, wasn’t on the list.) The O’s do have a hole at first-base, and could certainly use a ...

With Melvin Mora’s time in Baltimore over, the

Despite his impressive showing in the AFL thus far, top prospect Josh Bell probably needs at least part of another season in the minors before he’s ready. With Ty Wigginton being an ...

I discussed the possibility of the Orioles trading
for JJ Hardy previously , and it looks like
that potential move is off the table now as the Brewers have dealt him to the Twins for outfielder Carlos Gomez. Is that an offer the O’s could have or should have beaten? Quoting what I ...

The baseball season has ended, so it’s time
to look back at how badly my pre-season predictions
went. Making guesses about the future is hard: I got 3 out of the 4 AL playoff teams correct (though I had the Sox with the AL East title and the Yanks as the WIld Card team), but only 1 of the ...
