Orioles News - 10/28/07 - Birkins Claimed Off Waivers


Left handed pitcher Kurt Birkins has been claimed by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays off of waivers that the Baltimore Orioles placed him on. This reduced the amount of players on the O's roster to 39, one less then the limit of 40. Birkins wasn't a huge loss for Baltimore. If you look at his stats, he wasn't great. He wasn't even mediocre really... He was drafted in the 33rd round in 2000, and in his major league career for the Orioles, he went 6-4. Nice record. But the ERA... That's where it goes down hill. A 6.61 ERA. Ouch. That's not good. That's actually pretty bad. - John T.
