Well I don't know if it was in a thread, but it was in today's Sun

Here we go again. We may want a reclamation project.

"We're talking back end of the rotation or a starter who might have been put in the bullpen someplace else, who might have fallen out of favor," Duquette said.

I'll throw out some names:

Matt Morris

Kip Wells (they were looking at him before Trachsel)

Tony Armas

Odalis Perez (pitched under Mazzone 99-01)

Out of these guys I'd say Perez and Kip Wells would be top targets. Perez is a former Mazzone pitcher and Kip Wells is someone that the O's have been interested in off and on.

At least Armas, Jr. has(had?) stuff, if a checkered injury history.

Hey now, this doesn't rule out us getting back RLo, Chen, or Ortiz.

Can Rick Helling still toss a ball at the plate?

If the Phils will trade Brett Myers we would be FOOLS not to go after him. Guy has ace stuff.

Yes, not to mention more fuel for Rick Dempsey Jokes.

I'd love Brett Myers starting for us.

Yes, a rotation over the next few years of Bedard, Lowen, DCab, Myers, (Penn/Olsen etc), would be very nice.

We need a short list of former starters, now relegated to the bullpen who also pitched for Mazzone or Duquette's Mets prior to 2006.

Did Benitez ever start in his youth or anything?

And if so, does that count?

[GrichFan]

As awkward as Cabrera looks, I wonder if he can scrap.

Either way, he is not a dude I would mess with and how opposing hitters stand in that box without positively pooping their drawers with him staring you down is amazing to me.

Of course he was held back by Freddy Bynum in Detroit. He did look mean though,

[Chollie Eckman]

...and who are WE trading? I hope it's not a Keylor for Castillo type. WE NEED a big bat.

[clapdiddy]

Could it be Zack Greinke? I know the Royals say they aren't dealing him, but isn't that what all teams say right before they deal them?

[Lt Melmo]

Someone should tell Duq he doesn't need to trade for Olson.

FWIW, one of our Cubbie insiders filed this report today...

One of my sources from the East Coast is hearing a rumor that the Orioles are talking to the Cubs and Mariners about acquiring either Wade Miller or Jeff Weaver. After moving Adam Loewen to the 60 day DL, the Orioles have a "huge sense of urgency" to fill the starting pitching void.

Last I heard, Wade threw the ball pain free, was probably going to do a minor league start or two and then be activated in about 10-12 days.
