Orioles Notes: Pena, Pitchers, Reimold, Gregg, Crain

Let's round up the latest from Charm City, courtesy of The Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec...

• Scott Boras' asking price for Carlos Pena remains "really high." The first baseman does have interest in Baltimore.
• Zrebiec hears that Andy MacPhail has made several calls to teams with starting pitching depth. Both he and manager Buck Showalter would feel more comfortable with another veteran arm behind Jeremy Guthrie.
• The Orioles aren't shopping Nolan Reimold, but they have at least gauged his value around the league. Reimold hit just .207/.282/.328 in 131 plate appearances last season before being demoted to the minors, and Zrebiec notes that they'd be selling low.
• The Orioles are "pretty interested" in Kevin Gregg, and they have an offer out to at least one free agent reliever besides Koji Uehara. 
• The team is hoping to meet with the representatives for former Oriole George Sherrill during the winter meetings. "I had a horrendous year. I couldn’t get my mechanics right now matter what I tried," said Sherrill, who had a 6.69 ERA in 2010. "I’m ready to bounce back and help somebody no matter my role."
• Jesse Crain is said to be seeking a two or three-year deal similar to Joaquin Benoit's.
• Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports wants to know what the Orioles are going to do this offseason.
