Baltimore Orioles Baseball
I still think the O’s could contend in ’11
Even with the moves I outline below, the O's would obviously not be the favorite, and there are plenty of good reasons for that. The Orioles would head to Spring Training picked no better than 3rd, 4th by many, and still last by some. None of the moves I outline below...
Orioles resign Izturis
MASN's Roch Kubatko reported the O's have resigned Cesear Izturis to a one year-deal. http://www.masnsports.com/school_of_roch/2010/12/orioles-agree-to-terms-with-izturis.html Other reports have indicated the contract is for $1.5M. As much as I have complained about...
Possible match between O’s and Chicago White Sox?

Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman tweeted last night that the O's were interested in both Vladimir Guerrero, and Jim Thome. The response of many in Birdland has been to question that validity of that report. I see no reason to not believe in the O's interest. The O's...
Beltre market limited?
Beltre is still waiting for his expected offer from the LA Angels. Boston is obviously not an option. Oakland has pulled their offer. I would think that the Angels will make a legitimate offer, but if they feel they are the only one bidding, might the price be far...
If Reimold is traded..?
Not discussing the merits of Reimold vs. Bartlett here, just asking if Reimold is traded - would you hand LF to Pie? Personally, I would. I could also see the Orioles moving Scott back to LF, and pursuing another DH type. Perhaps someone like Magglio Ordonez? Someone...
