As a life long O's fan it seems so wrong to be really excited about signing a .275 hitter. I guess thats the state we're in.

Doesn't that make the Machado call-up seem less likely??? I think JJ is a great addition to the team, but the last time I saw Machado play, he looks pretty good too. Interesting...

I don't want to be the one to point this out, but you might want to look up Ripken's lifetime BA.

I love JJ and I love Ripken.

Besides, where we are really suffering is in the pitching and the injuries. Our pitchers are getting torn up. Offense actually looks pretty good.

No.
We weren't going to see him any time soon.
He'll be ready in 2 years and regardless if JJ is still around we'll see Manny's greatness.

Countdown to Hardy's blown out knee in 10 ... 9 ... 8

j/k - good signing for the Orioles, was upset that the Twins didn't keep him. Hopefully he'll be around for that 3rd year.

This signing doesn't make any sense to me. ::facepalm::

Yes, he's having a good year, but it's been two+ years since we could say that and they have two possible replacements in the minors....

At least make him show he can do it for a longer time sample. :?
