Will the Orioles Sign Any Key Free Agents?


           As the yankees and Mariners continue to buy up the free agency I am wondering why the Orioles aren't. They've got all the money (well sort of) from cutting Johnson. Well, so far from what I can tell that's one of the only major players they've cut. I think it's about time for the Orioles to move past minor leaguers and onto someone with far more talent than a rookie and get out with Matusz and Hunter who have all caused way too many losses.
           On the bright side, many of the key free agents left are mostly pitchers. I've heard rumors from the sun of signing Burnett but if you ask me, there's far more better options than that. There's Santana, Jimenez and Arroyo. Yeah, maybe they're asking for "too much money" but the Orioles need to take chances and go out there and spent money and not just let it burn a hole in their pocket. The Orioles just missing plenty of opportunities just like all of the games they almost won.
           What I think the Orioles need to work on is buying players fans are actually familiar with. Some have a ring to it like you've heard it on the radio, but most of them don't. It's good to start out players young, but you can't have a team full of them or else you'll just have a team full of players whom are still working on their techniques.
