Currently listening to: "Play That Funky Music" by Wild Cherry...what an awesome intro!

I was just thinking about the trading deadline approaching in baseball and decided to post a blog on some Orioles that really need to be traded (if they have any trade value). So here it goes, the following players need to go away ASAP:

1. Bruce Chen (no one laughs at his jokes anymore, just him)
2. Todd Williams (gives up as many big hits as the not-so-great Todd Frohwirth...ARGH!)
3. Russ Ortiz (1-16 in his last 17 decisions! quite possibly the biggest piece of crap in MLB)
   
4. LaTroy Hawkins (4 teams in 2 years would be incredible!)
   
5. Rodrigo Lopez (togh call, I have some lingering sentiment for R-Lo, but he may be the only one on this list with significant trade value. some pitching-hungry team will surely overpay for him. heck the phillies even dangled abreu as a possibility.)
   

What a surprise! All five of those guys are pitchers which we lack the depth in. If the Orioles can somehow get rid of all of these guys this year (which we all know will never happen), I may resume rooting for the O's. Most likely that won't happen though because Angelos and his cronies are very good at keeping worthless players around long enough to piss people off.
