Quick Hits

Rodrigo a Goner: Rodrigo Lopez has been traded to the Colorado Rockies. The news has been long in the making, but he’s finally gotten out of Baltimore after a woeful 2006 where he lost 18 games. The Orioles will receive 2 minor leaguers in exchange for Rodrigo. He was expendable, as the Orioles had a plethora of starters, and it was more than likely Rodrigo would be part of bullpen if he remained on the team, as it is a role he loathed being in.

Todd Williams re-signed: The Orioles re-signed Todd Williams. He’s signed for 1 year, $775,000 with an opportunity to make an additional $300,000 in incentives.
