Orioles agree to terms with Matusz!!!

[BaltimoreTerp]

And in a related story, Brian Matusz will start for the Orioles Friday evening against the Detroit Tigers! :laughlol:

This really is great news. Get him a couple starts somewhere like Frederick or Delmarva (or even Aberdeen), and let him go into the offseason on a high note.

Great news as expected. Thanks Tony. It's moments like these that a level of excitement hits you that can be quantified as a four letter word... Hope. :clap3:

Greg...That was corny as hell man!

If he isn't in the bigs by 2012, one of 2 things has happened:

1) Lots of injuries.

2) He sucks.

If he is as advanced as they say, he should start in Bowie and be ready to come up next year at some point.

Oh, I know. I have no doubt that he will be ready to go by 2010, it just erks me that Connoly would get this wrong. Doesnt he realize that Matusz has to be optioned now, as in August 15th 2008.

He might be our 2nd best starter right now.

Good news...any word on Brady>>>

[Fan4Life]

Can't hurt the interest in Tex, and extension to Nick and perhaps BRob with this... Huff already commented that this team is going somewhere... so, add a little more to the pot..

Maybe we should bring up the best catcher in the world and let those two go from there.

And I think I'm only half-joking...

Awesome. I really hope and think Matusz is going to be the LHP we all hoped Loewen and Olson would have been.

I dont think any one ever expected too much out of Olson. We knew he would be servicable but he would never come close to touching Loewen's ceiling.

Not yet..still working it...

And still might not.

[Tony-OH]

If we actually pull of Matusz, Bundy and Brady out of this draft O's fans ought to be ecstatic.

2 down, 1 to go, 7 hours 56 minutes.....

Greg...That was corny as hell man!

It's in my OH contract... Article 45; Subsection 6; Line 19; "Thou shalt be 'corny as hell' from timeth to timeth."

It was timeth.

14 out of the top 15 - that's gettin' er done! I can't wait for BA to re-rank Farm systems after this draft!!
