Orioles' News - Huff, Wilson and Arbitration

* Still needing an impact bat, the Baltimore sun reports that the Orioles have made an offer to Aubrey Huff. Huff is asking for a three-year deal worth around $7.5 million per season, but according to the report, the offer is not that high. He can play left field, right field, first and third base, which would make him a great platoon option and also give him the ability to be in the lineup almost daily. Although he had a down year in 2006, his power along with his ability to drive in runs would be perfect for the Orioles’ needs.

The Los Angeles Angels, Texas Rangers and Pittsburgh Pirates also other teams mentioned who are in play to sign Huff.

* In the same article, the team has had some conversation with the agent for first baseman-outfielder Craig Wilson, but also, the two sides have not had much discussion the past couple of days.

*The Orioles are trying to avoid arbitration with Daniel Cabrera by offering him a one year deal. Other players who are also arbitration-eligible are Brian Roberts, Erik Bedard, Corey Patterson and Rodrigo Lopez.
