Welcome Troy Patton to the ‘pen
The trade of Will Ohman, has allowed Troy Patton to join the Orioles bullpen starting today in Kansas City. Patton was listed as one baseballs Top 100 overall prospects by Baseball America during '06, '07 and prior to the '08 season.When the O's acquired Patton for...
VandenHurk & Pelzer add depth
The Baltimore Orioles completed their second trade of the week yesterday, sending Will Ohman to the Florida Marlins for P Rick VandenHurk.I think this deal (and the other pre July 31st non-waiver deal of Tejada to San Diego for Wynn Pelzer) are positive additions to...
Bergesen and Hernandez last night
Five days ago I stated I thought Bergesen needed to be removed from the rotation. Yesterday afternoon, I talked about wanting to see Hernandez get the opportunity to close during the remaining two months of the season. So what happens last night? Of course, Bergesen...

Bergesen has to be removed from the rotation
I anticipated that Brad Bergesen was going to go through natural regression in 2010, but did believe he would be a capable 4th or 5th starter. For a guy that has mediocre stuff, it is imperative that he hits his spots. He has not shown an ability to do that with any...
