Now, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, they are rethinking that strategy and getting into market by expressing interest in Orioles LH George Sherrill. While several teams are looking at him, another possibility is Texas LH reliever Eddie Guardado.

The Phillies, Cubs, Dodgers, Reds, Marlins and Tigers have also scouted him lately but the Orioles are said to be looking for "two,if not three" prospects in return.

For starters, they have talked to the Mariners about LH pitcher Jarrod Washburn. Also, being reported by the New York Post is their ongoing interest in Pirates reliever Damasco Marte and Rockies Brian Fuentes. In addition, they are considering going after Mark Teixeira to play first base and possibly, the Orioles catcher Ramon Hernandez. The New York Daily News reported that during interviews at last week's All-Star game, Hal Steinbrenner told GM Brian Cashman to make whatever deals he deemed necessary, including trading prized prospects. I guess if you cast a wide enough net, you have a better chance of landing something.

The White Sox would have then moved Alexei Ramirez to shortstop. The Orioles have shown since the winter that they are very reluctant to give up Roberts, but one has to wonder how far out of first place they'll have to be before they give up on their veterans while they're still valuable. Rosenthal is also reporting that the A's and Pirates have had discussions about OF Jason Bay but Rosenthal doesn't think a deal will be made. With Bay a free agent in 2009, the A's likely are not willing to give up the prospects it would take to acquire him.

He said he had not had discussions with the Orioles about him and did not expect to.

A quick round-up of Tigers items of note so far: It appears that the Tigers had scouts at the Orioles/Blue Jays game when A.J. Burnett started. Whether they were scouting Burnett or lefty reliever George Sherrill is unclear.

This list is a collection of the greatest players who fell short of just one goal, to win a title.

In a season that's beginning to get a little depressing, seeing the '83 champs take the field was cool. My favorite story from that year is one that a lot of people know, but that doesn't get dissected [...] Thu, 24 Jul 2008 12:40:36 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/294960 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/294960 I seriously don't understand what the Reds are thinking right now. Yesterday after the game Bronson Arroyo said a bunch of junk about how he shouldn't be traded. Also Walt Jocketty said there would be no salary dumping before the deadline. Now a day later I read about how they were supposedly in Baltimore scouting George Sherrill. continued...
