Danys Baez is on the hill for the Orioles today. Thank God it’s spring because honestly I’m not real siked about the idea of Baez being a starter for the Birds in 2009.
Sure he was hurt with a season ending elbow injury in 2007, but his 6.44 ERA and 6 losses aren’t worth the 19 million dollars we gave him before that season.
I hope he does well, but I’m not expecting him to shock the world with his stuff.
This guy needs to wake up and realize he has more potential as a relief man. Why do some guys not get it and think just because they can throw a ball that they can be a starter. When you don’t have many quality pitches or even a quality out pitch, you need to stay a relief man at best. Baez had a horrible day the other day and needs to sit back down in the bullpen. The Orioles picked him up because of his relief capability!!
