Orioles deal Olson for Cubs Prospect

The O's gave up on Olson who was not pitched well the guy's got an Era in the high sixes and for every good performance he gave he had a couple bad ones. They got a player who may now start in the outfoild for them and give the Dh spot to Luke Soxctt and first base to Huff. Mcphail O's Gm said this about the move it gives us great defense in the outfield it's like having three center fielders. Felix Pie batted 299 in his career in the minors and Montanzes impressed me alst season so it may be a toss up to see who starts between those 2. Koji uehara a japanese player signed with the O's as a right starting pitcher the one thing i didn't like aboput that move is that the guy i alsreayd 32 and he makes between 5 and 8 mil with incentives. Hopefully he pitches great and gets run support. Him and Guthrie should be top of the roration while people l;ike Liz and Wtaers and others vie for reemaining spots. I think the OI's shouild be much improved but we must wait til APril to see if they can contend in the troughest didivsion in baseball which is that much tougher wiythj the emergewnce of that young rays team getting to the series and of course top spenders like Bopston and Ny and the Blue Jays who aren't terrible.
