Orioles claim Phoenix Sanders from Rays

Show him that new slider grip and Win.

We have a new leader in the which Orioles name sounds the most like a stripper.

So this means someone will have to be taken off the 40 man if they want to call Henderson up.

That'll probably be Phoenix Sanders.

Had me right up until 89 mph fastball.

Reliever who throws a slider as his main pitch. 36 SO and 2 BB at AAA this year but a 5.40 ERA. 3.07 ERA in 14.2 IP in MLB.

What a strange world it is where you can have an 18:1 K:BB ratio and over a K an inning, and a 5.40 ERA. 

In the entire history of the majors, even going back to when it took 9 or more balls for a walk, only five pitchers have ever had a K:BB ratio of 18:1 in 30+ innings.  Two of them are Dennis Eckersley seasons, and the other three were in 1875, 1879, and 1882.  None of them had an ERA over 2.59.

I have to think there's something salvageable about a guy who has 127 Ks and 16 walks in 105 AAA innings.

If Sanders appears in a game for the Orioles he'll join Mickey Scott, Craig Lefferts, Edwin Jackson, and Will Ohman as the only Orioles born in Germany.  Or major leaguers of any Baltimore team for that matter.

And he doesn't have to do all that much to become the greatest German Oriole of all time.  Or Die Größterdeutscheroriolekrugallerzeiten.

With a name like Phoenix, he doesn’t need a nickname. 

What are the odds a team would have a Phoenix and a Felix in the same pen?

Phoenix meet Felix. 

Try to say that fast.

I think we found the replacement for Head or Krehbel. Both are not effective.
