O’s Add Tatum For Catcher Depth
O’s Add Tatum For Catcher Depth
camdencrazies.com — The Orioles added a back-up catcher to their roster today, claiming Craig Tatum off of waivers from the Reds.

Turning The O’s Into Instant Contenders
Turning The O’s Into Instant Contenders
camdencrazies.com — 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 ... (more) Turning The O’s Into Instant Contenders

How About If O’s Trade For Dan Uggla?
How About If O’s Trade For Dan Uggla?
camdencrazies.com — 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 ... (more) How About If O’s Trade For Dan Uggla?
