Orioles Make No Deal With Balfour-In Need of a Closer
The Orioles announced that the 2 million, 2-year deal they were going to make with former-Athletics pitcher, Grant Balfour has be cut off. It is heard the Orioles were not satisfied with his physicals, although Balfour claims he's fine the Orioles aren't putting this off as they learned with Roberts.
The Orioles really shouldn't take chances with this guy, considering he's the equivalent of Brian Roberts only a year younger. That makes him extremely injury prone and so not worth that much money.
There's still options out there though on the free agency- the rumor is still swirling around about A.J Burnett but I have mixed feelings about the Orioles signing him. He's good but he blows out a lot. I remember with the yankees the Orioles won against him (I cannot remember the score- but there was a large difference) so he could be the next Jim Johnson which isn't good at all. There's still other people on the free agency the Orioles may have to invest in, but they'll have to be worth the money!
