AHHHh i just got goosebumps this sounds like bonifay in disguise http://forum.addictsports.com/baseball/ubb/redface.gif http://forum.addictsports.com/baseball/ubb/redface.gif http://forum.addictsports.com/baseball/ubb/redface.gif http://forum.addictsports.com/baseball/ubb/redface.gif this one specially

They sound like flailing moves. Like Wren needed to pretend he was doing something.

So what happened during the season, a season in which it quickly became apparent that the Orioles weren't going anywhere? The Orioles traded Harold Baines and Juan Guzman for pitching prospects. They also... well, okay, they didn't do anything else. They did release Slocumb and Bones and Webster. They did dump 25-year old Rocky Coppinger for 28-year old less promising Al Reyes merely because Ray Miller couldn't get along with him. Willis Otanez, out the door, but they did pick up 37 year old Jim Corsi. They added Mike Figga and Derrick May. It's hard to argue with the Guzman/Baines trades. But Figga? Corsi? 33-year old Doug Linton, added to the roster? These just don't sound like bad moves. They sound like flailing moves. Like Wren needed to pretend he was doing something.

very intrigueing :P

Jimbo, after reading that article, I'm glad he's staying in Atlanta.
