Then, in the postseason, Uehara totally fell flat on his face and chipped a few teeth, giving up five runs in just 1 1/3 postseason innings. Uehara, as likeable as his dugout excitement was, might have worn out his welcome with the Rangers after they...

His choices include: Wei-Yen Chen, the Orioles' first Taiwanese native; Tsuyoshi Wada, who was 107-61 with a 3.13 ERA in Japan; trade acquisitions Dana Eveland and Jason Hammel; holdovers Alfredo Simon, Zach Britton, Brian Matusz, Jake Arrieta, Tommy...

The Season 4 finale of The Office has one of my favorite scenes in the show’s history. That scene is when Toby leaves the office for Costa Rica and Michael’s bids him farewell by singing Supertramp’s “Goodbye Stranger” with the new title “Goodbye Toby”...

Other teams maintain plenty of interest in Uehara, which makes you wonder: Why are the Rangers looking to dump him? After all, they did give up a once valued prospect (first baseman Chris Davis) and a solid back of the rotation arm (Tommy Hunter) to...

Uehara, who turns 37 on April 3, vested his 2012 option last year by appearing in at least 55 games (he ended up appearing in 65). He was one of the top relievers on the market at the trade deadline and the Rangers sent RHP Tommy Hunter and 1B Chris...

(See RevHaloFans SBN profile page) Josh Hamilton: "I just show up, look at the lineup and play where I’m told. If they want me to catch, I’ll catch." Jon Daniels on relationship with #Rangers Young: "I’d love to walk in and hug everybody every day, but...

But what about this year? It's hard to say, really. Oh, well, um....yeah. The candidates for starting rotation going into Spring Training are Jake Arrieta, Brad Bergesen, Zach Britton, Wei-Yin Chen, Dana Eveland, Jason Hammel, Tommy Hunter, Brian...

The fact that Colorado has a pretty deep farm system, and that we weren't able to squeeze anybody under the age of 29, tells you all you need to know about Guthrie's worth on the market." Pessi-Zach: "So where do we go from here? We have a starting...

Moreover, Rosenthal postulates that this is just the latest in a long string of inefficient roster building moves that have defined the Orioles over the past fifteen years. What about Koji Uehara, who was traded to Texas for Tommy Hunter and Chris...

With four years of major league tenure, Hammel arrives in Baltimore and automatically becomes the Orioles' most-experienced starting pitcher. While Duquette said Hammel will ultimately replace Guthrie's innings, that doesn't make him the favorite to...

Guthrie, but he can be relied on to at least get fairly deep into games. *It’s pretty clear to me that the Orioles’ message to the young arms is to step up and win a job. There won’t be any handouts and the hope has to be that Brian Matusz, Jake Arrieta...

Thursday’s concert is a celebration of hockey songs, and anybody who watches you regularly knows you’re a music fan. What are your thoughts on the association of hockey with music? Hockey Night in Canada used to be surrounded by Singalong Jubilee and...

Regardless of the motivation, what can the Rangers expect to receive in return for Koji? An excellent starting point is the deadline deal the Rangers completed to get him, sending Tommy Hunter, a fringe-fifth starter, probably should be a reliever kind...

Of all the rotation candidates, Matusz may still have the highest ceiling next to Zach Britton, and after how well he finished 2010, I’m nowhere near ready to write him off. Last July, the Orioles shipped reliever Koji Uehara to the Texas Rangers for...

F. , Georgetown, Texas Why don't the Rangers trade for David Price? I heard the Rays were planning on shopping him soon, and would be well worth giving up a Matt Harrison or Martin Perez.

So narrowing those names down to four guys shouldn’t be too much of a challenge should it?! While I think that Buck Showalter might have an idea in terms of who he wants in the rotation, I do believe that this will be a truly fair competition

Kill it with fire! I think we’re just going to have to look for Troy Patton some more. PA: For the final spot in the bullpen, we have the Mark Hendrickson Memorial Long-Relief role. This year the role will be filled by Tommy Hunter. You hear, Tommy? ...
