Happy Thanksgiving to all. I just wanted to say that. Now, it's time for some Baltimore Orioles baseball chatter.
Is Scott Podsednik coming to town? If the O's chose not to re-sign free agent centerfielder Corey Patterson, Podsednik should be an option. He was designated by the Chicago White Sox, so the O's can pick him up. Last years stats aren't a good way to measure Podsednik considering he played in only 62 games as he was injured most of the year. But, boy can this guy run. In 2004 he stole 70 bases, 59 in 2005, and 40 in 2006. The O's should definitely think about picking him up if Patterson's asking price is too high.
The O's have been put on hold - again. The New York Mets have acquired Johnny Estrada, a catcher, so one would think that the Mets will no longer have any interest in Ramon Hernandez. Right? Maybe. The Mets can still non-tender Estrada next month. So? If the Mets decide to do this, Estrada would become a free agent. That would put the Mets back in the market for a catcher, like Ramon Hernandez. But until then, the O's and a possible trade will be on hold. - John T.
