Mark Reynolds to the Orioles



Everything you possibly needed to know about the morons running the Orioles can be summarized by today's trade for Strike Out machine Mark Reynolds.  The Os were looking to add a little pop to their lineup, helping to better compete in the super-loaded AL East.  Here's the thing though...  Reynolds, who hit 32 home runs last year, managed to strike out in 211 of his 499 at bats.  That's over 40%.  Oh and here is the kicker, he batted .198. 

So what the Orioles have told us here is that they are going cross their fingers and hope that Pedro Cerrano here can learn to hit a goddam curve ball in the off season.  Mark should put some feelers out to JoBu, see if hey can help out.
