Orioles add Independent League Pitchers L Mahon & C Johnson.

Remember, we also need to thank the Baseball God's that Bobby Valentine turned the job down, and they ended up going with Buck.

And Ghirardi! :2yay-thumb:

A five page thread about this and their names are mentioned twice.

But the inital post went off topic. It was on purpose. It was never about adding some depth for Bowie and Norfolk, which is perfectly reasonable to any sane person. It was just an attempt to use whatever the Orioles did to skewer them for not signing premium free agents. If the O's had signed a new assistant to the traveling secretary yesterday that would be proof that Angelos will never let Duquette do what it takes to win.

If you do demand money spent, why not spend it on Greinke? There's a much better argument to be made for Greinke than Hamilton.

What's the point of bringing Grienke's name up? It's public knowledge, that PA is stuck in the stone-age, where SP aren't worth 15M a year, or can't be given contracts over 3 years. Hopefully, PA sells the team becomes a FA if he becomes the stud many project. Otherwise, he will most likely be given the Mussina treatment, and finish his career out in NY or LA.

Any chance of Grienke ended as soon as PA found out, you can't get a TOR for 3/30M. Pitchers aren't worth more than a 3 year deal

Not if it was George Costanza.

Atleast his GF was already an Orioles fan. Does that mean we have the inside track on a friendly hometown discount now?

I kind of like both pitchers that we picked up! Mahon has yet to give up a professional homerun, and Johnson averages a strikeout per inning. Not only filler but young and fairly talented.

False statement.

Am I wrong or didn't Jim Johnson have to be identified to Angelos when he handed him the game ball from his 50th save?

True, he doesn't meet hardly any of the players. But he also stayed up to watch all of the 18 inning game. I think he was very excited with this year.
