Cobb to Orioles (Confirmed by Roch Kubatko)

[Hank Scorpio]

I talk about the Orioles approach to free agency very rarely because I don’t find it to be a very effective way to fill out your roster. If they DO decide, however, to sign someone... I’d prefer to see them identify a guy they really want and aggressively pursue them as opposed to being the vultures they are. 

Not holding my breath.

If he walks into Cubs camp tomorrow, I'll be pissed.

Maybe 4 years and less average annual salary?

I haven't posted on this great board for years. But I am so excited about the possibility of landing Cobb. Please God! I did my Bible studies today

As per Roch:

Much of the appeal attached to Cobb centers on his experience and comfort within the division. He’s 6-4 with a 3.43 ERA and 1.254 WHIP in 14 starts against the Red Sox, 6-4 with a 2.99 ERA and 0.996 WHIP in 14 starts against the Yankees and 3-3 with a 3.23 ERA and 1.056 WHIP in eight starts versus the Blue Jays. He’s gone 6-2 with a 2.70 ERA and 1.200 WHIP in 12 starts against the Orioles.

I'm liking those numbers.

Would be nice.  That would basically be the Ubaldo deal.

4 years though - hope that TJ repaired arm holds up

Yes - that is exactly the reason why Cobb appeals to us.
