What Happened To Nick Markakis?
Nick Markakis was looking like one of the best young players in baseball after the 2008 season, hitting 306/406/491 and racking up 6.3 WAR. He could do it all – hit for average, power, and play outstanding defence. The O’s wisely locked him up to a long term deal, paying him 66 million for 6 seasons. Markakis looked like a cornerstone outfielder, capable of leading the...

The Orioles are once again in a state of flux. After a trainwreck of a GM search they finally have their man in Dan Duquette. Duquette seems to be as fine a choice as any, given the circumstances. We shall see what Duke, or Deaux-k if you must, will do in the first of his three years with the team and he has a lot to do. The one thing this team needs more than anything...

Orioles hire Dan Duquette as new GM
Fifth times the charm, right? Dan Duquette has been hired by the Baltimore Orioles to be their new puppet to Peter Angelos General Manager. He has previous experience with the Expos (1991-1994) and the Red Sox (1994-2002). Duquette left the Expos at their peak, right when they had the best record in baseball during the strike shortened year. He was removed from the Red Sox in 2002...
