The Baltimore Orioles made a nice minor league
trade, landing closer Preston Guilmet for OF Torsten Boss. 26 year-old Guilmet
has had success in the minors since being converted to a closer:
2010 (A): 2.25ERA, 11Sv
2011 (A) 2.16ERA, 35Sv
2012 (AA): 2.39ERA, 24Sv
2013 (AAA): 1.68ERA, 20Sv
The Orioles expect him to contribute at the Major
League level at some point this season.
The Orioles spent
HOW MUCH on starting pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez? I hate to say I told you so,
but...one good HALF season doesn't change a bad pitcher into a good one. He did
have a good season back in 2010 too, but he’s also had seasons with 12, 12, 13,
and 17 losses. So far this season,
Jimenez has given up 8 runs in 10 2/3 innings.
Where's Ervin Santana when you need him?
Ervin Santana makes his season debut for the
Braves on Wednesday against the Mets by the way.
If you're disappointed with the Orioles offense
so far this season, keep in mind, they are missing Manny Machado and JJ Hardy,
so it will get better. And once those two INF return, there will be a competition
for 2B, which will hopefully push Flaherty, Lombardozzi, or Schoop to step it
up.
