To me, Nate McClouth sort of “became” the Orioles for me. On paper, they just don’t look like they should be that good…somehow they keep pulling it off and before you know it they’re in the playoffs!

As someone who kind of follows the Pirates, I’m still haunted by his more recent time there.

I really liked Nate McClouth in the ALDS, he was like the only Oriole who could get on base. But alas, as with Casey Kotchman, we’d get the Nate McClouth that is more representative of the Nate McClouth in the 8 seasons before his trade to Baltimore than those 5 games he excelled in October.

I think you can almost expect this move, after all, he fits the Indians mold almost to a T. A versatile OF capable of playing all three positions, who bats from the left side of the plate with a career .248 BA and .756 OPS that can be without a long term contract for $2M or less.

I hear its an ace pitcher who bats .330 and has a twin brother.

I can’t believe I missed him saying Santana…I even asked everyone I was with if I happened to miss it. Some of the people around me were talking though, so it could have been drowned out. He seemed to think we’d be pleased about the potential move, so I’m optimistic.

I was there and he did mention Santana when he was listing off those players and the croud was responding where they came from. It was brief but i remember him saying Santana. I was really impressed hearing him talk. The potential move statement he made was encouraging. He didnt mention Choo as one of his favorite players which suprised me a bit

Two bats and a starting pitcher. That’s all I want for Christmas. Hairston or Victorino in left, Youk at 1st, and Joe Blanton or Joe Saunders or Shaun Marcum in the rotation. Come on Dolan, you can DO IT! You can’t take it with you!

Talbot was both injured and DFAed I believe. Last I heard, he was playing in Korea. I had completely forgotten about Youkilis.

When I heard Francona talking last night, my first thought was “Victorino?!?” but that may be getting my hopes up too high. I’d like to think he wouldn’t be that excited over someone like Nate McLouth, but watch it be someone like Nate McClouth.
