Oops, sorry. I thought I saw minor league. 

[DirtyBird]

thanks, guys

[Moose Milligan]

I appreciate that my blood pressure won't rise when they take the mound anymore.

Godspeed and good luck.

[Spy Fox]

How the Orioles got 17 starts of a ~3 ERA from Voth I don't understand, but it did help them finish above .500 in 2022, so I do appreciate that.

Good riddance to both.

[Sports Guy]

Do we  appreciate them?

[Frobby]

Both of them had their moments, especially in 2022.   Best of luck to both of them.

We've always got '22!

I appreciate that both of them contributed positive WAR to a fun team that exceeded it's expected win total by 15 or 20 games and ended a streak of awful seasons, and both were acquired for nothing to give that contribution.

Good job in 2022 guys.

I appreciate that Voth's agent got him a major league deal. I would have thought for sure he'd have to settle for minor leagues

[interloper]

I wouldn't have minded either guy on a minor league deal as emergency AAA depth. That Voth got a ML deal is kind of a wonder, but good for him. Krehbiel has more ML mop up innings in him I'm sure. Always liked his velo, occassionally good stuff.

Krehbiel is so unappreciated that his name is misspelled in his own appreciation thread. (Don't worry, I can never get it right without checking, either.) But I remember Adley Rutschman in some interview or podcast naming Joey K as the funniest Oriole. I found that ironic as he's probably the 2022-23 Oriole that fans have the least feelings about and have projected the least onto his personality.
