How About Andy Pettite To the Orioles?
He doesn’t want to be in New York anymore, the Baltimore Orioles have yet to make a splash in the free agent market with the exception of the pump fake they threw at Mark Teixeira, and the guy might have some juice left. Or at least more juice than any other starter we currently have.
It’s not like the O’s are out there chasing down Derek Lowe or anybody else of note. Instead, Camden Chat reveals that the club may be considering signing Andruw “Give Me Onion Rings Instead of Fries” Jones.
As I ‘ve said before, at some point, the Orioles need to at least pretend like they care about winning. All around them, the A.L. East is reloading to Battleship each other to pieces. The Orioles seem to be content with submissive silence and useful-but-not-impressive activity.
Get the team in some kind of rumor. Float it out there that you’re looking to trade the entire infield for Josh Beckett. Say you’re in negotiations with Roger Clemens AND Mike Mussina. Do something to indicate that winning is indeed the objective.
Paging Nestor Aparicio, got a line in that healthy WNST budget for some more ‘Free the Birds’ shirts?
