Orioles - Signed Baez
Baltimore Orioles - Signed P Danys Baez to a 3-year, $19 million contract.
I’ve been saying for a long time now that the Orioles have been missing the point entirely. With some research, I’m now prepared to present additional evidence to back up my opinion.
In 1637, Pierre Fermat stated, in what became known as Fermat’s Last Theorem that it is impossible to separate any power higher than the second into two like powers. Mathematicians struggled to prove this theorem until Andrew Wiles, more than 350 years later, finally formulated his proof, the key part of which is illustrated below.

The Vulgate Bible is one of the most important works of early scholarship and an early definitive bible, being translated by Jerome from the Hebrew rather than Greek. But even within the texts, some curiosities can be found.

The New York Times is generally considered the Paper of Record for the United States.

If Dan Szymborski, Mathematics, the Catholic Church, and the New York Times all say something is true, then it is. Period. The Big Four, if you will.

1. Juan V Posted: November 28, 2006 at 02:41 AM (#2246964)What a joke.
Transcript of the front office's discussions about what to do in the offseason.
Man O: "The reason we haven't been winning is that we haven't been giving multi-year, multi-million dollar deals to mediocre middle relievers".
Man W: "Agreed".
Man N: "Who is available? Walker and Baez."
Man E: Double any offers other teams give them.
Mad D: Take that, Red Sox and Yankees.
That usually drives the point across.
Brilliant, Dan. And, to quote that band from AZ, "Congratulations I'm Sorry."
Am I confused?
BRILLIANT!
Also, someone should compile a "Best of Transaction Oracle," to preserve these gems in eternity. I think my favorite is still the Robbie Alomar toast one, but this is definitely top ten.

Dan always seems to take it so well.
Also, this and this are gold.
Ok, that's a lame rationalization...but it's all I got.
Yeah, right. There's no way that deal is getting done without Chris Resop.
the jacque jones signing doesn't look entirely terrible now, though.
neither does joining the tigers.
In a world... where Wayne Krivsky will trade all of his available talent for relief pitching, the Orioles boldly stockpile mediocre ones so as to fleece the Reds come the trade deadline.
RDF. And probably not a bad move!
Jared Wright gives a hell yeah!
(Sorry, Vulgate. Couldn't resist.)
When I saw "Williamson," my first thought was not of Scott but of Mark. I'm not so sure at this point that dragging Mark Williamson out of retirement would have been worse.
