Re Pie, da "The Hardball Times"

Pie can be an All-Star outfielder, while it's doubtful Olson will ever make an All-Star Game. Pie doesn't have that great of a track record in the majors, but he received sporadic playing time and over the last two years has garnered 260 at-bats. He's always succeeded in the minors and young for his age, still has time on his side at age 24.

The Orioles now have a young, dynamic outfield in Pie, Adam Jones and Nick Markakis. They can all run, play defense, and hit. It's not out of the question that one day they will all combine to have a 60/60 season. The issue for the Orioles is obviously their pitching, but Olson was never going to help reverse that trend.

The Orioles are going to field a solid defensive club. They have the whizzes in the outfield and Cesar Izturis and Brian Roberts up the middle. Aubrey Huff isn't a wizard with the glove, but he doesn't embarrass himself at first either. Melvin Mora is fine at third. Their offense should again have plenty of pop. Again, as I've mentioned, it's the pitching. If they can turn that around in the next couple of years, they'll be dangerous. It's definitely not going to be fun for any team in the AL East the next five to 10 years.

Quasi vicino l'estensione a Brian Roberts, sembra che gli Orioles abbiano offerto 30m in 3 anni.

Baltimore interessati a Looper, riusciranno i nostri amati uccelli a firmare un pitcher di qualità??

Tralasciando la parte sull'amore omo-ornitologico (si scherza eh! ;)) Looper sarebbe un pitcher di qualità?

No, infatti mi riferivo ad altro, per fortuna sembra fatta per R. Hill :gazza:

The Orioles and free-agent infielder Ty Wigginton have reached agreement on a two-year contract :gazza:

Grande mossa IMHO.

Speriamo di chiudere anche con Looper.

Con Looper certamente la nostra rotazione migliora rispetto allo scorso anno. Ma sembra che preferisca lanciare nella NL :gazza:

Mi piace la mossa molto. Per il suo career, T. Wiggington uccida LHP, mentre altri faticanno.

Career OPS vs RHP / LHP:

T. Wiggington: .758/.878

B.Roberts: .801/.701
A. Huff: .856/.755
L. Scott: .874/.756

Anche F. Pie fatica vs LHP. Ty dovrebbe giocare multo.

Quindi con la firma di Wigginton, Scott verrà senza dubbio inserito in una possibile trade??
