Is that a typo on Connolly's part?   Chandler Shepherd was DFA'd by the Red Sox 5 days ago.   Did the Cubs claim him and immediately waive him?

Sounds like a shot at Stevie. He is working so hard and the coaches also.

I bet Villar has nothing but sympathy for the position Wilkerson has found himself in.

OOOOOOOO K-BROX!

I'm so cool, look at me, look at me... K-BROX!!!  

Is K-Brox in the lineup tonight?  Can't wait to see K-Brox flying around the basepaths!  Think K-Brox will get some time in the leadoff spot?  

 

K-BROX!!!!!

Why not with a sizzling career OBP of .306

Sucre has been giving Villar advice on how to interact with teammates.

Considering how awful the pitching is letting go of Ramirez is pretty telling. 

Of course always possible he comes back.

That's the thing I find most interesting about this series of moves.

So he still has time to get his ERA under three for the first half so he can get moved.

How many scoreless innings would that take?

So he might get six or so starts before the trade deadline. Can't see anyone wanting him because you still have two more years of his contract.

He would have to be absolutely stone cold lights out in all 6 of those starts. And someone would have to be desperate. Seems like our chances of a Cobb trade are basically shot, especially without the ability to do August trades.

I'm just messing with Wildcard.

I mean Hyde just said yesterday that he doesn't have any depth at SP, and then we DFA one of those depth pieces? Sure, he's not really any good, but it's just interesting. They must really believe they can't work with him, or that this Shepherd kid could be a much better replacement. 

There are certainly some guys I might have DFA'd before Ramirez. Lucas is one. Ortiz for sure, that guy seems 100% toast. 

In the big picture it doesn't really matter because the idea is a guy like Yefry would be DFAd eventually for a better player. It's just roster churn. But I'd love to know if the data says something about Yefry.

I’ve gotta say, it’s amazing how many of the Orioles’ higher priced moves have failed over the years.   I’ve always like Cobb, and approved of that signing, but we are getting just about the worst case scenario so far.

I liked Ubaldo at the time. What a mistake that was!

Smith not playing tonight. Maybe he goes on 10 day IL for Broxton.
