Finally. The Orioles have someone who has more wins than losses. A rare for any Oriole player past or present. The Orioles have agreed with former Indians starter, Ubaldo Jimenez to a four-year, $48 million dollar contract. Ah. The sweet satisfaction of not having to worry about loosing Jim Johnson, or seeing the chart of free agents with yankees and red sox's hats mix with the one Oriole one.
This guy is hard to hit. Even the Orioles had a tough time hitting him. Hopefully they'll put him to good use. I wish they could use him as a closer too. Hopefully he'll not give the yankees an easy win.
The Orioles did find a relief pitcher South Korean, Suk-Min Yoon. He finished his season 9-4 with 7 saves. Could this be the start of something new?
I don't want to jinx it at all. I am not setting the expectations too high. But I don't want to see Johnson succeeding while the Orioles are failing. Johnson and McLouth were all part of some show "house of cards" where it ironically took place at Camden Yards. Strangely enough, Johnson's lines were cut. Maybe that's an omen he should be cut from the line-up.
Injury Update- Manny Machado has reportedly arrived at Ed Smith Stadium and started taking ground balls. Showalter asked Machado if he felt nervous to which he answered "No, why should I be?". Afterwards, Machado took up in batting practice. Machado says he feels great and hopefully will be able to start at third on opening day.
8 more days until spring training games begin!
