Cool Orioles sellers?

If they Orioles are smart, they'll trade some of these marginal offensive players for as much young pitching as they can bring in

There must be some team who's in a race who can use Melvin Mora. Aubrey Huff, Payton, Gibbons, even Brian Roberts...The only guy I would make untouchable on this team is Markakis......

Re: Orioles sellers?

No way I give up Roberts either. He is a good leadoff hitter with speed.

What happened to Mora? A few years ago he was one of the best 3B now he can't hit the ball with a tennis racket. His value has dropped alot.

Re: Orioles sellers?

When it comes to Mora, I doubt there are many takers. If they're serious about rebuilding for the future, Pundit's right - they've got to put guys like Roberts on the block. It's not like they have a ton of value at any position, and Markakis is too young to deal at this point.

Re: Orioles sellers?

It's tough because the market is full of hitters with very marginal to just good starters the only real pitchers available.

Plus like Lefty said, I think Markakis is really the only starting hitter worthy of a solid pitcher but they shouldn't deal him.

Also, who else do the O's have who someone would want? Mora is too old IMO and not productive enough now.
