maybe this means the O's have given up on Vlad and started spending their money elsewhere?

LATEST NEWS - January 10 - Previous News

Orioles signed first baseman-designated hitter Rafael Palmeiro, who had been with the Rangers, to a one-year contract. Palmeiro wants to play first base, so that's what the Orioles are going to allow him to do. Expect another 35 homers and 110 RBI, but his declining batting average means he's not quite as valuable as he used to be.

this is very old

Hell yea!

 

Let them sign Pudge and Maddux as well so they'll start to feel the money leaving...

 

Come to Miami Vlad, you know you want to!

this is very old

if "very old" means "minutes old", then yes, this is very old news.

it wasnt as old as i thought, but it is 2 days old

It's new news if this is an official announcement.

actually, heckeroo, they've been negotiating with raffy for awhile now.

 

a lot of the discussion has been whether or not this was a ploy in the pudge and/or vlad sweepstakes.

 

by signing raffy, i'm assuming that they aren't going to go for pudge now (as was also mentioned in articles the past few days). if anything, this makes it easier for them to land vlad.

 

and yes, this is new news.

I hope Rafael flops!

:lol

The Orioles keep on getting better and better.

 

They have 3 guys who can hit over 30 Homeruns.

 

Raffy, Tejada and Lopez.

 

Now they need to focues on pitching because that was their main problem last year.

At this point, they NEED Ponson. Lopez, Moss, Ainsworth, DuBose and whoever...aint gonna cut it. Too bad, they're my favorite AL team.
