Orioles Sign Nelson Cruz, Say Goodbye to Hammel

            The Orioles made history today. Not really. They at least were able to trend on facebook. The Orioles have signed former ranger, Nelson Cruz to a one year, $8 million dollar deal including $750,000 incentives based on active time on roster. The Orioles needed this. Chris Davis we cannot be reliant on that he will have another big hit season. Or at least we don't know yet. But, Cruz may ruin the teams reputation due to his ties with the biogenesis scandal. But in 2013, he hit 27 home runs so hopefully he can do the same this year. At least without the drugs.
           Hammel is gone. It's old laundry but I forgot to do his "goodbye we'll totally not miss you loosing games for some other team" rant. Hammel, he was always injured. He would make games not even come close to being able to be saved in the first few innings. He was a lost cause. Nothing could and would ever fix him. I am glad he will get to join his formers from the lost column, Arrieta and Strop with the Cubs.
            In names of signing more big stars the Orioles still have their eye on Ervin Santana in hopes to fill the roster with more confident starters. But remain in a race against time with the rangers who may be also interested in signing him.
