Orioles turning attention to Fernando Rodney

[scOtt]

I don't think Rodney needs to audition and I don't think what he does in the next few weeks will make a difference one way or the other. He still had a pretty good season last year even though he didn't do as well as in 2012.

Rodney is not my first choice, but I know Dan and/or Buck want their experienced closer. The Orioles are probably Rodney's best option unless he wants to pitch out in Seattle.

Much better park to pitch in...

But nobody generates save opportunities like the O's!

I mean, yea, great ballpark, go pitch there Rodney. They got laws against bow hunting in Maryland.

I agree, but it would make more sense if he was only able to get a 1-year deal. I'm guessing at 37, his preference is probably to play for a team with a better chance of winning.

Depends on which fourth place team he wants to play on.

I think Seattle and us are similar contenders. Up and coming teams in tough divisions. Just enough talent to make noise. I'm just playing Devil's advocate here. They seem like equal destinations to me. So... money talks and you know what...

Yeah I hear ya. I wish we had something better to talk about than whether or not a Rodney signing could be imminent.

It's a very slow offseason for some reason. Lots of options left for us. And 29 other teams...

But can he pass the physical?

He pulled an oblique doing that arrow thingy.

I know Roy hates Fernando passionately:) but I would love to have him, his stuff is filthy. For the discounted rate, you could even pick someone else up as insurance.

More money for the starter.

I'm with you. I hope they sign Rodney. He can shoot as many arrows as he wants as long as he is not blowing saves.

I was too lazy to look it up. Very JJ-like year.
