The Orioles spoke this week to the Expos about Tony Armas Jr.

The Expos have decided against non-tendering Armas, but they would trade him and his $2 million-plus salary. It doesn't seem like the Orioles are a great match for them, though. Moving Jose Vidro to third to make room for Jerry Hairston Jr. or Brian Roberts isn't a great idea, and Jay Gibbons, who would be expendable if Vladimir Guerrero is signed, would block Juan Rivera in the outfield. A trade probably won't take place. Source: Washington Post

 

He would fit perfect, and would allow us to move Redman for bullpen help....Just a thought :shifty

for the $2mil he is gold

i am a fan of Armas but he is made of GLASS. i still take a chance on him...

for $2 million I'd take him...

That guy has a live Arm. I remember him pitching for the 'Spos.

 

$2 Million isnt that bad. He can replace Redman untill AJ comes back.

I love the Armas idea if we can land him along with Joey Eischen :cool

Where would he fit when A.J came back? I think the last thing on the Marlins mind is a starting pitcher. Even for $2 million, it can be better spent elsewhere.

i'm sure with armas here either penny or pavano become expendible when aj comes back

i'm sure with armas here either penny or pavano become expendible when aj comes back

I don't know....is Armas THAT much beter than Penny or Pavano?

I don't know....is Armas THAT much beter than Penny or Pavano? he's not... this isn't worth it IMO

ramps looking at his 2.61 era 1.05 whip from last season...lol it was only 31 innings dood. hes a 4+era guy and isnt better than a 3rd starter

and again, for $2mil and in this park, he would be solid imo

clearly the stats lie and you havent paid any attention this guy...... about a year ago he was right up there with Javier and Okha they were doing there thing stats have nothing to do with Ramp l wantting him on the team... i feel the same way.....

 

chances are nothing happens

You know who would be great out the bullpen?

It's not happening though. He had 10 wins and never even started a game, 46 strikeouts to just 13 walks, and had a nice ERA. Expos would be stupid to trade him but he would be great if we can get him.

I'd pay 2 million for a third starter.

 

It's definitely not a bad idea now that Redman's gone.

i think he getting more htan 2 mill... and we got 5 starters with burny included... 2 mill might be better spent somewhere else...
