The Baltimore Orioles released Sammy Snider and Rudy Arias. Never heard of them? Most people haven't and that's because these are the guys who do the dirty work. Their jobs would be to throw batting practice, to warm up pitchers that were in the bullpen, etc. They were the behind-the-scenes people who took care of odd jobs. But, why release them? It's not like they are players who aren't performing anymore and that they have become a distraction. They weren't hurting the team, so leave them to their jobs.
Pitcher Steve Trachsel was released by the Chicago Cubs. He was with the O's for a while last season but was traded to the Cubbies in a deadline deal. I'm pretty sure I remember Steve as a good pitcher who just needed more run support. Ain't that the story of all the Baltimore Orioles pitchers? - John T.
