When you have the chance to add a 35-40 homer/900 OPS, GG caliber player, you do it.

I mean, I realize it's an idiotic online petition to sign a baseball player, but there's no situation where saying that nearly 100 people want a team to sign a player represents a major display of support for the idea. Unless the O's are really that hard up for fans nowadays.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-63806156436723741692008-08-07T09:42:00.000-04:002008-08-07T09:42:00.000-04:00Not all Orioles fans want him in Baltimore.
