Christ this team is so fucking slow moving. I seriously doubt anyone has been better than LaCava or Dipoto

Two guys i would love for the Orioles to go after are Michael Wuertz and Joe Nathan(because of my obsession with twins).

BUT unfortunately Nathan will want too much money and fuck that shit.
Wuertz would be a good signing though, and probably not expensive. He had a bad year performance and injury wise but could be a steal if he returns to his usual form.
Since he was released, he might even be signable for a minor league deal. good risk imo.

Yes. He was dominant two years ago.
One of the best K/BB ratios for a reliever, if I'm not mistaken.
Sub-2.00 ERA too, right?

something like that. The only concern is that the A's flat out released him when he had a year left. they must know something we don't know.
But if he comes in and passes a physical then it is all good.
Worth the risk. If they are going to sign Accardo last year, then they can afford to sign Wuertz this year lol

no he really doesn't
everyone thinks he does but he has a couple TERRIBLE starts and they skew his stats.


I guess.
I'll go Simon over Nolasco though.
Especially since Nolasco hasnt shown signs of his solid 2008 season.
Bring him over to the AL East and he'll get shat on; he lead the league in giving up hits, would be fun for Jays.

The Orioles are "very likely" to hire Tony LaCava for their general manager job, according to Jon Heyman of SI.com (on Twitter). The Angels are about to hire Jerry Dipoto, one of Baltimore's four candidates, as their next GM. This leaves LaCava, De Jon Watson of the Dodgers and John Stockstill of the Orioles in the mix for the Baltimore job.

LaCava is Toronto's vice president of baseball operations and assistant General Manager. He oversees player development and Latin American operations for the Blue Jays and has also worked for the Angels, Braves, Expos and Indians. He interviewed for GM jobs in Pittsburgh and Seattle in the past. Here's my piece on LaCava for MLBTR's GM Candidates series.


fuck yea

Orioles fucked up again as usual. Not even surprised at this point when something goes wrong.
They wouldnt let him change some personnel. LOL what a fucking joke. Our current personnel sucks balls so it makes no sense.
