Odds & Ends: Orioles, Ayala, Kata, Nationals

Another round of links on me... Peter Schmuck of The Baltimore Sun says it's time for Andy MacPhail to use some of his minor league inventory to land the Orioles a middle of the order hitter, while possibly gambling on a high quality free agent pitcher with an injury history. Personally, I don't think making moves like that will do much to improve the O&...

Astros offseason moves bold and glamorous

Retired? Not yet, bored with this years off season? **** Yeah! The Astros continued their whirlwind off season acquisitions yesterday with the signing of Matt Kata, a 30 year old minor league player who they hope can compete for a spot to back up Miguel Tejada. I'm gonna kick back and let that sink in for awhile. The Kata signing comes on the heels of Mike Hamptons return, Hampton...
