It appears the Baltimore Orioles are in for another losing season.
They trade Jeremy Guthrie for a couple pitchers who both have lifetime losing records and ERAs above 4.0. Dan Duquette also adds to the mix by getting another pitcher with a similar record. To add to the problem the Orioles will probably give these three pitchers million-dollar deals.
The Orioles should sit down and watch the movie "Moneyball." Then they would understand subpar performance doesn't warrant player big contracts, and it sure doesn't get the team to the World Series.
