Orioles Sign Danys Baez for Three Years

by @ 4:11 am. Filed under Uncategorized

The Orioles signed right handed relief pitcher Danys Baez to a three year, $19 million deal yesterday.  Baez is 29 and he’s a good but not great relief pitcher so once like Jamie Walker, I think the Orioles really overpaid for Baez.  Then again, this is a very strange year.  I guess the “former closer” tag is worth a lot more these days.  Baez has 111 career saves, for what’s that worth, to his name.

Baez got off to a hot start in 2006 and he had eight saves and a 1.32 ERA in the month of April.  He had a 6.60 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP in the second half though and that really roughed up his numbers.

It looks like Baez will set up Chris Ray in 2007.  $6+ million for a set up man.  This stuff is crazy.

Help on the Way? - Billy Rowell Highlighted in Future Shock

by @ 2:03 pm. Filed under Uncategorized

There’s no doubt that the Orioles need help, and it couldn’t come soon enough.  Billy Rowell was the Orioles top draft pick this year, and after a slow start, the third base prospect has been lighting up rookie ball.  While he hasn’t shown much with the glove, his hitting numbers stand at an impressive .308/.397/.474.  Not bad for a kid who was playing out his senior year a couple of months ago. 

And I know he’s far off, but Orioles’ fans have to have something to cling too.
