Felix Pie?


It is rumored that the Orioles are going after Felix Pie from the Cubs. The Orioles could be involved in a three team deal with the Padres and the Cubs with the main part of what the Orioles will be giving up is Garret Olsen, who is a California native and the Padres are quite interested in him.

The question I have is why? I mean we already have three good outfielders with Markakis, Jones, and Scott along with Lou Montanez and Nolan Reimold waiting in the wings and Tike Redmond in Norfolk. It is basically taking from our weakness(pitching) and adding to our strength(outfielders), which does not make any sense to me at all. What we really need to be doing is getting more pitchers not trading them away. We also have a giant hole at short, which is what we should be taking care of first.
