Who Should the Orioles Sign?

The Orioles made some good moves- Signing Delmon Young to a one-year contract as well as some moves with catchers (in case Wieters is in bad health) and are apparently talking to Colby Rasmus, an outfielder who could potentially fill the loss gap of Nick Markakis. But the Orioles better hurry with that one. The athletics are also apparently interested and so the Orioles better be quick to move... but yet again that's never going to happen.


The Orioles need to have some big name. I mean they already do have some at third base, center field, catching, maybe even at first base. But, I'm talking about on the pitching mound. Sure they've got ones that are stars on the team itself, but I mean like a big name, all-star. I mean how many times do you see an Oriole pitcher win an all-star game ballot. I always wondered how they won the AL East, most likely with the yankees down and a good defensive. The one who would receive all the losses was Jimenez with a bit of Matusz. But I really think that the yankees are trying hard to get back to where they use to be which is only up to the Orioles to prevent. Sure winning the games is based on luck and the probability of getting the ball to smack up against your bat is quite slim, it really depends how often it occurs with the players you bring it (more experienced and hard-working, I mean)

Who the Orioles should sign (focusing on pitching) is a big name that may cost a bit more money, like Max Scherzer or a developing minor-league one. The Orioles took Gausman and Bundy as chances, resulting in an interesting disaster. I mean they won games, but not very many. It was a shame though that the Orioles lost Andrew Miller and Eduardo Rodriguez. But I hope that they're looking some where other than Chicago.
