Quick Hits: O's News and Roger...

The O’s Sign a Minor Leaguer: According to the Baltimore Sun, the Orioles claimed pitcher Jeremy Guthrie off waivers from the Cleveland Indians yesterday and added the right-hander to the 40-man roster.

Jim Duqette quipped: "We like him," … “He's a guy who our scouts think has two to three above-average pitches. He threw 94 to 95 miles an hour the past year. To this point, he hasn't put it together, but we are very optimistic."

For the most part, this is an okay move. Right now, we need to focus on rebuilding the minors as well the big league team and any guy who can throw in the mid-90’s is worth taking a look at.

Other O’s Stuffage: As well from the Sun, the Os reached one-year agreements with four players: outfielders Nick Markakis, Adam Stern, and pitchers Kurt Birkins and Ryan Keefer. As well, the team announced that they will invite catchers Eli Whiteside and Ryan Hubele, outfielder Cory Keylor and pitchers Garrett Olson and Radhames Liz to spring training camp.

MLB Stuff:

More Indecision from the Rocket: Well, once again, the biggest mercenary in sports, Roger Clemens is indecisive as to when he’ll come back or pitch in 2007. Although he donned Astros gear and threw for more than an hour in a minor league workout at Minute Maid Park, he asserted he’s not ready for baseball yet.

According to ESPN, Roger said when asked about a return: "I'm not even interested in playing right now -- that's my handicap for you. Other than that, my golf handicap needs to come down." He also asserted in the same article, “It's a lot of work … I have fun doing it, but it's a lot of work. That will be a tough decision again.”

He’ll be back, as the money is too good. It just depends where, and you have to remember he did the same song and dance with the Rangers and Astros last year.
