Baltimore Orioles---Hot Stove Preview

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:30:41 +0000

The Baltimore Orioles are not in as bad a shape as they've been in forever. They've got a lot of young pitching on the way and things could be far, far worse with their lineup, now infused with spry bats Matt Wieters, Nick Markakis and Adam Jones. They're not a wasteland for players to get paid now.

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 ...

Yesterday I discussed two more potential partners for the services of one Dan Uggla. One of the more interesting partners in such a trade would be the Baltimore Orioles, if only for their depth of pitching prospects and outfield candidates. One of the things I’ve been seeing on the Orioles ...

The Orioles today announced that they have added right-handed pitchers BRANDON ERBE and LUIS LEBRON and infielders JOSH BELL, PEDRO FLORIMON, RHYNE HUGHES and BRANDON SNYDER to their 40-man Major League roster. I think the Erbe, Bell, and Snyder protections are all no brainers. I think ...

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 ...
