Orioles Sign Danys Baez for Three Years

by Louie Miller @ 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.
