JAMIE WALKER RUMORS & GOSSIP
Orioles - Released Walker
Baltimore Orioles - Released P Jamie Walker; recalled P Alberto Castillo

Jamie Walker Released, Alberto Castillo Called Up...
Lefty reliever Jamie Walker will be released from the Baltimore Orioles at some point today. In turn, Alberto Castillo will be called up from Triple-A Norfolk. Obviously, this is not a surprise as most saw this coming.

Orioles To Release Jamie Walker
Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun reports that the Orioles will release lefty reliever Jamie Walker. Baltimore still owes Walker about $3MM, but they were no longer satisfied with his production. To replace Walker, they called up Alberto Castillo, another lefty who pitched for the O's last year and has performed well at Triple A Norfolk so far in 2009. Zrebiec writes that the...

O's Lose Late in Seattle; Jamie Walker To Be Sent on His Way?
Rookie pitcher Brad Bergesen pitched another great game; however, in the end, the Oriole bullpen could not hold a 2-2 tie heading into the ninth inning, and lost to the Seattle Mariners, 3-2. The Orioles have now lost four out of five games, and Seattle has taken the series -- winning two out of three. Jim Johnson took the loss as he pitched a scoreless eighth inning, but ran into...

Opening Day is Upon Us; O's Down Mets, 5-1
Opening Day is next week and while everyone in Birdland is wondering about the pitching, I am happy to see baseball back. It feels like Spring Training has gone on for three months rather than only seven week or so, but at this time on April 6th, the Yankees will take on the Orioles at the Yard which will televised on ESPN. I don't know if I am so excited to see the Orioles,...

Jamie Walker Names His Kid Jim Leyland
Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Jamie Walker ? formerly of the Detroit Tigers, and current procurer of all things NASCAR and generic-brand beer ? became a daddy for the fourth time back on Memorial Day. Due to a coincidental clash of family names they really liked, the kid is now named Jim Leyland Walker. At least it's tenfold better than Tressel Hayes, Crimson Bryant, and Joe...
