It’s a year later and Rich Hill still can’t throw strikes. Today Hill walked three in four innings of work, six days ago he walked four in two-thirds. Hill now has 19 walks in 26.1 innings of work.
His longest outing of the season came against Seattle earlier this month, in that contest he went seven [...]

It’s March so that means it’s time for another round of the Non Roster Invitee report. Over the next 30 days (or less) I will cover a non-roster invitee from each big league club. Unlike last season this year I’m picking guys that I believe will make the club by the end of the season.
First [...]

The Baltimore Orioles have been a familiar destination for former members of the Chicago Cubs. Going back a few years Sammy Sosa started a trend and this season the Orioles added Felix Pie, Ronny Cedeno and today added former Cubs starter Rich Hill.
Hill, 28, spent most of last season in the minors struggling with his [...]

After getting no takers last season and playing in Japan Craig Brazell is back. The Baltimore Orioles signed the former minor leaguer who had appeared the New Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers and Kansas City Royals organizations over the last 11 seasons.
The Orioles are expected to send him to Norfolk to start the season. Depending on [...]

Ty Wigginton became a free agent earlier this winter when the Houston Astros decided against tendering him a contract. While he drew interest early on the market for him has died off in recent weeks.
Now the Baltimore Orioles have let it be known that they do have interest in the right hand hitting Wigginton. Wigginton [...]

Garrett Olson went 9-10 last season for the Orioles but that’s not to suggest that the 25-year-old who was a 2005 first round pick by the Orioles is on his way to stardom.
Olson made 26 starts for the club and while he did average over 5 innings a start for the year it’s what he [...]

Signs that your career as a starting pitcher hasn’t turned out that great is being labeled with the term innings eater. Though the term does rank ahead of terms such as swing man, minor league free agent and certainly ahead of former big leaguer.
Today the Baltimore Orioles agreed to terms with pitcher Mark Hendrickson on [...]

I suggested it earlier this winter and it’s finally happened. The Baltimore Orioles have began talking to former slugger Richie Sexson. Sexson can still hit against left handed pitchers and it’s being said that the O’s are looking at him to alternate with Lou Montanez at DH.
Last season Sexson split time between Seattle and New [...]

Last winter one of the biggest trades was one involving Erik Bedard. While it only seemed that the Seattle Mariners were truly in talks about acquiring the left handed pitcher at times we wondered if the trade would ever get done with the stubbornness of Baltimore Orioles owner Peter Angelos.
The trade was completed but injuries [...]

The Baltimore Orioles are looking at brining back Gregg Zaun. Ideally Zaun, 37, would act as a backup catcher and mentor to 22-year-old superprospect Matt Wieters.
Zaun spent a year-and a half with the Orioles from 1995 into 1996 after being drafted by the club in 1989. He was traded for Terry Matthews in the 1996 [...]

Kevin Millar told the Baltimore Sun that he would be open to returning to the Orioles in a limited role.
“Right now, I’m at a point in my career where I understand that nobody is coming to me and saying, ‘Hey, you’re going to get 600 at-bats and be my No. 4 hitter,” Millar said. “I [...]

Mark Teixeira was born in Severna Park Maryland and the Orioles would love to bring the 28-year-old slugger to Baltimore. But for all the success Teixeira has had over the course of his career it’s unclear how Teixeira could help a team who finished last in the AL East suddenly become contenders. This is the [...]

The Baltimore Sun today announced the first of what figures to be many underwhelming signings for the Baltimore Orioles this off season.
The team has added 25 year-old utility player Donnie Murphy. Murphy who has spent parts of four seasons in the big leagues split between the Kansas City Royals and the Oakland A’s has a [...]

It’s been ages since I’ve writing one of these but I remember the last time I thought about writing one of these it was about former Oriole outfielder Phil Bradley. That was because I found a half sized card of the Indiana native while moving stuff around after our move to Indiana.
Odd I suppose, even [...]

It’s no fun to be playing out the season with no chances of post season play but you do it. It’s a scheduled game, there are some fans who still care, and frankly it’s your job.
The Baltimore Orioles announced yesterday to the amazement of no one that since the organization was going to miss the [...]
