Littell and Rays Set to Unleash Surprise Sting on Orioles—Can Baltimore Withstand the Assault?
If I was guessing, the Orioles will likely sell their assets. There are some bats and a couple of arms that are likely to be on the move from Baltimore. This season they just have never really gotten things going. The pitching hasn’t been good, and the hitting has been average at best. Last year the ownership said something about how they wouldn’t be able to keep everyone and changes were going to have to happen at some point. I personally think this is karma’s way of kicking the Orioles in the crotch. You’re a billionaire making billions a year on a baseball team, spend some freaking money. Today, they send out Dean Kremer who could generate some interest if he was put on the market. Kremer is 8-7 for the season with a 4.24 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP. Kremer isn’t a strikeout pitcher, but he also doesn’t tend to walk a ton of guys either, so if you’re going to get him, a team with a good defense would benefit him greatly. He has been a worse pitcher on the road than at home this year, with an ERA almost touching six. He has faced Tampa twice this season, holding them to just seven hits and one earned run in 12 innings of work.Â
