Orioles Acquire Dana Eveland from Dodgers

[Hank Scorpio]

Why would you give up ANYTHING for him? I don't care if they traded a 26 y/o single A pitcher. Just out of principle, why would you trade anything for a guy this bad?

There's probably a couple scouts that like his stuff. Can't imagine this is for more than a PTBNL.

There is no Dana only Zuul!

I hope this turns into one of those classic "boy was the OH wrong" threads.

His stuff is awful.

From Britt's brief write up:

he helps bolster an Orioles pitching staff that is in dire need of some upgrades and depth

I mean really Britt? Tell me you don't actually believe this and just needed article filler.

Unless the PTBNL is Gregg or Roberts that is too much.

Because they're the Orioles.

They gave up TWO PLAYERS for him? WTF!???!

HE BLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why would you even give up 2 baseballs for him, much less actual people?

What a Joke :boogie:

The Angels add Pujols and CJ Wilson .... & we add Eveland & Flaherty. Genius:thumbsup1:

This just keeps on getting better and better

Per Connolly:

Why? Why would you do this?

[PrivateO]

It appears Duquette likes to make trades just for the sake of making trades.

[TiredofLosing20]

Anybody miss this guy yet?

I am joking by the way... But two players for Eveland is pretty comical unless they are players at the local community theater

[glenn__davis]

Per Connolly:

"Orioles have given up a minor league pitcher and a PTBNL."

We're actually going to give up 2 players for him??

Why?

I'm usually one to preach against over-reacting, but this is a really puzzling move. What is the point?
