The Orioles beat reporters should just save the notes one year. They can just use it next year it's the same crap every year.

Bastardo of the Phillies maybe?

I would assume trading Haren is about shedding his salary for the coming year.

Maybe Florida flips him to Anaheim. If not their might be compensation in place if he decides to retire.

I hate projection systems, but I don't see how you can expect much out of Rollins.
