The closer position has not been kind to the Orioles over the past few seasons. Aside from George Sherrill’s pre-trade production in 2009, most O’s pitchers who have been labeled “closer” since 2007 have been less than stellar. Chris Ray was the man in the ninth in 2007. After a good 2006 campaign, the O’s thought [...]

I've not been following the Arizona Fall League as I probably should, but it's nice to see some Oriole prospects doing fairly well there. The one name that has really grabbed my attention is Josh Bell. From the Orioles.com: The switch-hitting Bell, who came over to the Orioles in the deal that sent reliever George Sherrill [...]

A night without baseball just doesn't feel right... ESPN's Buster Olney wonders if the "legal wrangling" caused by the McCourts' divorce could affect the Dodgers attempt to land a No. 1 starter this offseason. Within the same piece, Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus notes that the prospects traded in deals for Casey Blake and George Sherrill have thinned out LA's system, meaning they...

MLB Trade Rumors (Free subscription) | 10/23/2009
After months of speculation and one false alarm, the Mariners acquired Erik Bedard from the Orioles in February of 2008. The cost? Tony Butler, Kameron Mickolio, George Sherrill, Chris Tillman and Adam Jones. Then-GM Bill Bavasi told reporters that the Mariners were getting "one hell of a player," and he wasn't the only executive who thought so. Before the trade became official, a rival GM...

Pitching Stars Hong Chih Kuo He's one of the few arm in the vaunted Dodgers bullpen that actually came through in this series. He threw four innings and allowed a mere two hits and one run. Kuo struck out six and walked none. He did give up a homer in Game 5, but it was essentially meaningless. Like i've said about him many times before, when he's healthy, he's arguably the best reliever in the entire...

Vicente Padilla couldn't get it done twice in the same series; no shame in that, but after handing out consecutive two-out free passes to Chase Utley and Ryan Howard, Jayson Werth's three-run jack sealed the Dodgers' fate. The closest they got to a look at the game was when James Loney belted the Dodgers' second solo shot of the game (the first was Andre Ethier's in the first) in the top of the second,...
