Olmos is back

[WEAVERMAN]

And a SWING and a miss by Duquette on Lake.

We received nothing for Hunter, just salary relief.

I tweeted Edgar to welcome him to the team. Hopefully he remembers to thank me in his cy young acceptance speech.

Either you are right more often than anyone else or you just like mentioning it more than anyone else.

Probably both.

I know. Have not seen him acting lately.

He recently starred as Edward James Olmos as himself in "I'm still here" the real life story of a hoax played by River Phoenix's less talented brother that was directed by his brother in law Casey Affleck. I gave it 5 stars on Netflix.

If your manager doesn't trust you to come in and get out three right handed batters in a row you are not a rotation candidate.

That was so last year.

Olmos is out of options.

We have to just be playing the waiver game and we'll just waive him again. Then again we currently have 7/40 of our 40 man roster taken up by LH relievers. Hmm. Roe is out of options too, and we all know Bundy has to be on the 25 man if healthy. It's a head scratcher. I like that they got a guy for free that they wanted from SEA. Eh and Junior Lake was terrible.

And a SWING and a miss by Duquette on Lake.

Lake was terrible. So bad that we had to call up Lough like 2 weeks after we decided not to call him up just to have someone to play CF while we were finishing out the season. The Lake-Hunter deal was more about making room to get a look at Givens and M.Wright in the pen.

Just went on the O's website and saw that they've added a Rickard, Olmos, Trenidad Hubbard autograph group at fanfest. Got me for 20$.

Exactly... OMG if they try to move Matusz to the rotation I may have to watch soccer instead. :rofl:

Wait, I don't quite understand what you are saying. He is River Phoenix's brother? And Casey Affleck's brother-in-law? And he perpetrated a hoax and then starred as himself in a movie about the hoax?

That sir, is why it got 5 stars.

What did you expect to get for two months of a middle reliever?

[JayThomas]

Various rumors say he may move to the rotation if they can't get a lefty starter via trade or free agency. Perhaps this is just preparing for that?

You can never have too many LH pitchers throwing mid-90's, especially if they have two potentially functional secondary pitches.

[mdbdotcom]

I understand he's Olmos a good pitcher.

That salary relief allowed for us to trade for Parra. The Hunter trade shouldn't be viewed as just Hunter for Lake. We also wanted to give Givens and Wright chances in the pen. That worked out for Givens, big time. Then DD had to gain some salary back to trade for Parra.

Hunter is still out there. I wouldn't mind him back. But we do have Chaz Roe on the league min. as opposed to the 2-3 million it would take to sign Hunter.

Someone better than Lake. The Orioles made this trade near the deadline and may have just settled for Lake.

They got:

A spot on the roster that they could insert Givens into (and was optionable)

Some money to pay for the Parra acquisition.
