Fromer Oriole Jay Gibbons

As a Fan of Jay Gibbons from his time with the Orioles I am glad to see Jay doing very well with the Dodgers. Jay was a favorite of mine while with the Orioles. I am sure like a lot of other fans we were angry and hurt by the fact Jay was part of all that PED scandals and the fact we were paying him a lot of money with little prefrormance his last year with the Orioles. But with time I am know once again proud to announce I am a Jay Gibbons and proud of Jay that he has gotten back to the Majors since his last time in 2007. I am sure that was long wait for him. Good job Jay

Get Ready to Spend Some Money Peter

It looks like Joe Mauer has signed a monster 8 year 184 mil contract. If Matt Wieters is going to anything close to the player that Joe Mauer is then we are going to have pay a lot of money. Oh yeah Scott Boris is his agent, did I not mention that earlier.

3:00 Press Conference for Orioles

The Orioles have announced a 3:00 pm press conference. Gee I wonder what that could be for. Seems they are going to have a Press Conference to announce the signing and return on Miguel Tejeda.

Tejeda back with the Orioles

Miguel Tejada will return to Baltimore after agreeing to a one-year, $6 million deal with the Orioles, the slugger told ESPNDeportes.com's Enrique Rojas on Saturday.

I for one am glad Tejeda has signed with the Orioles. I can see him hitting second in the lineup behind Roberts and in front of Markasis. This move will also then allow newly acquired Garret Atkins to play 1st base. Ty Wigginton will then backup both Atkins and Tejeda.
With this move this how I think the Lineup will look.

1. Roberts
2. Tejeda
3. Markasis
4. Wieters
5. Jones
6. Reimold
7. Scott
8. Atkins
9. Izturis

I thinlk the moves that Macphail this offseason will give us our 1st winning record since 1997.

Spring Training Invitees

Here is the list of 12 players the Orioles have invited to Spring Training.

Left-handers Chris George Mike Hinckley

right-handers Jake Arrieta, Frank Mata, Josh Perrault, Alfredo Simon and Ross Wolf

catchers Michel Hernandez, Caleb Joseph and Chad Moeller

outfielder Jeff Salazar

infielder Scott Moore.

The only who has a real chance of making the club out of Spring Training is Chad Moeller. He was the Backup for Both Gregg Zaun and then Matt Weiters after we traded Zaun to Tampa Bay. It will be interesting to see how Jake Arrieta does during the spring. He is one of the Top Prospects for the Orioles.

They "Del" Not Got Him

Well it seems like the rumors that Carlos Delgado (the last big bat left in Free Agency) did not sign with the Blue Jays. The reporter/blogger heard a rumor and just ran with it. Like Roch said on his blog

There's no need to fact-check anymore. Just get the rumor out there and worry about the details later - like whether it's false. I saw plenty of examples at the winter meetings.
Man, this business really has changed.

I Could Like This Lineup

If were to sign or trade for nobody else before the beginning of the season I think I could like this lineup we could put together.

1. Brian Roberts
2. Nick Markasis
3. Adam Jones
4. Nolan Reimold
5. Matt Weiters
6. Luke Scott
7. Garrett Atkins
8.Who ever plays 1st
9. Ceasar Izturis
