Veteran Reliever J.C. Romero Signs a minor league deal with the O's

Found May 25, 2012 on Oriole Post:
PLAYERS: JC Romero,  Troy Patton,  Dana Eveland
TEAMS: St. Louis Cardinals,  Baltimore Orioles,  Philadelphia Phillies,  Colorado Rockies,  New York Yankees
Once again, the Orioles have signed yet another veteran reliever to provide depth in the organization...
From the Orioles.com:
BALTIMORE -- The Orioles have agreed to terms on a Minor League contract with veteran reliever J.C. RomerThe Orioles have agreed to terms on a Minor League contract with veteran reliever J.C. Romero, the club announced on Thursday, and Romero is expected to report to Triple-A Norfolk.
- snip -
Orioles executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette said Tuesday that the club was still actively seeking ways to upgrade and add depth to the pitching staff, and Romero fills a need: another lefty reliever to go along with Zach Philips. The O's bullpen currently has two lefties in Troy Patton and Dana Eveland.
Romero previously pitched for the Philadelphia Phillies from 2007-11, posting a combined 2.73 ERA along with notable postseason success in '08. He was suspended for the first 50 games of 2009 for taking a banned supplement, and was released by the Phillies in 2011.
Romero then latched on with Minor League deals for the Washington Nationals, New York Yankees and Colorado Rockies -- with whom he pitched to a 4.32 ERA in 11 big league games -- before making the Cardinals this spring.
In 14 Major League seasons, Romero is 34-28 with a 4.15 ERA.
Ok, Romero perhaps is very close to the end of his solid career. Obviously, he would provide some depth in the minors and could be summoned to the majors in case of injury or whatever.

Matusz Turning the Corner?

Via B-More Birds Nest  |  May 25, 2012
Brian Matusz has been on a roller coaster since his first day in the big leagues. We have seen the young southpaw go from once highly touted prospect that would soon be the ace of the Orioles pitching staff to injury prone bust and now a bottom end of the rotation guy who could either implode or hurl a gem on any given night. I have always liked Brian Matusz and wished success for...

According to MASNSports.com's Steve Melewski, the Orioles are implementing six-man rotations in their farm system from AA down:The Orioles seem to really like the fact that their starters can get two bullpen or side sessions between starts in a six-man and feel that is a good way right now for some of their young hurlers to get their work in and make improvements to their game...

Thoughts on Adam Jones and a contract extension

Via Oriole Post  |  May 25, 2012
This afternoon, Adam Jones spoke to the media. While reports throughout the day have Jones and his representation, plus the team coming to a contract extension, the center-fielder says a deal isn't forthcoming.Whether or not that's true, who really knows. I'm sure a deal has been in the works for a while; however, the news of this all came out within the last day...

Cardinals pushing on despite injuries

ST. LOUIS The hits started coming in Spring Training and they haven't stopped since.

Hit with a rash of injuries that included their fifth player being placed on the disabled list in the past week Tuesday, the Cardinals continued...

On Roberts and his attempt to return to O's

Via Oriole Post  |  May 24, 2012
This is a piece I wrote for MASN Sports this morning. I've got a feeling this is going to be a hot topic for quite a while. *** As we all know, veteran Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts returned to competitive baseball last night as he played three innings for the Double-A Bowie Baysox last night. Roberts is playing for the Baysox as part of a rehabilitation assignment...

How Many AL East Teams Will Finish This Year Above .500?

The American League east divison is always one of the most competitive divisons in baseball. This year all five teams have a record of .500 or better with the Baltimore Orioles in first place.

Orioles, Jones finalize extension

Via Bloguin Best  |  May 25, 2012
The extension that Brian wrote about this morning between the Baltmore Orioles and Adam Jones is apparently just about done. CBS's Jon Heyman is reporting that the deal will be for six years and a whopping $85.5 million. My initial thought about the deal is "wow, that's a lot of money". An average of $14.25 million a year for Adam Jones? That's crazy. While...

Royals-Orioles Preview

The Baltimore Orioles were happy to have a day off after a grueling stretch, but an off day probably isn't good news for the Kansas City Royals. The Orioles have won all four games after not playing the day before heading into Friday night's opener of a three-game home set against a Royals team that has struggled following time off. Baltimore (28-17) dropped two of three...
