Orioles reach agreement with Payton
2006-12-08 21:54
by Bob Timmermann

The Baltimore Sun is reporting that the Orioles have signed outfielder Jay Payton to a 2-year deal worth $9.75 million.

The Orioles wanted to sign either Carlos Lee or Luis Gonzalez, but failed to land either player. Baltimore is still trying to work out a deal to acquire Marcus Thames from Detroit.

A friend of mine is an O's fan, and he was irked, to say the least at the thought of signing Payton.

From what the article said, if the O's get Thames, Payton will essentially platoon with Corey Patterson. I guess platoon parners and middle relievers are baltimore's strategy. Wow, they reallly are an irrelevant franchise.

Check Reggie Sanders career if you want to see movement.

Or Kenny Lofton's.

Corey Patterson must frustrate the hell out of any sensible Orioles fan. He's got a career line of:

.257/.297/.419

and yet he still manages to get 400-600 at bats a year. His career OPS+ is 84. If anything Jay Payton should be replacing him completely. At least he's perfectly league average.
