Orioles Rumors: Kawakami, Zaun, Looper
7:05pm: Peter Schmuck names a few more catchers on Baltimore's radar: Henry Blanco and Matt Treanor.
2:15pm: Steve Melewski of MASN Online talked to Dan Evans, who represents free agent pitcher Kenshin Kawakami. Evans said he had a productive meeting with the Orioles and expects to have more. He's been contacting many clubs to gauge interest in Kawakami.
The Orioles also engaged talks with Evans for Gregg Zaun, who could return to Baltimore as the veteran mentor for Matt Wieters. A few clubs have kicked the tires on Zaun, but he doesn't have any serious bids yet.
Peter Schmuck of the Baltimore Sun says the Orioles met with Braden Looper's agent at the Winter Meetings, but their interest level is not known.

We'll miss you in Toronto Zaunie, a pillar of proffesionalism in a very unstable clubhouse the last 4-5 years. I'd rather have you back than JP.

I'm definitely down with a return of Gregg Zaun. Not only does it give a warm fuzzy feeling that a former Oriole has the chance to come back "home", but he seems to embrace the idea of being a mentor. He could prove to be a very useful tool in ushering Matt Weiters into the majors.

i like the idea of braden looper if he doesn't cost us a draft pick... anyone know his status?

looper would not cost any draft picks.. not sure I like the thought of him tho personally unless the price is really low I think we would be better off with Uehara and Kawakami......

For the love of God, please don't sign Blanco.
