Makes no sense. As picky as the Orioles are with their physicals,they sign a picture with a significant hip injury!

Its just a minor league depth guy. The Orioles tried to bring back Johan Santana last year and he got hurt right before they were gonna call him up and he was coming off of a serious injury. They will give guys a chance but when you talkings millions on free agents id be a little more cautious too

The O’s will sign people med problems to the minors all day long .but if it a muti year bigs contract you need to be in shape

Minor league deal. Its like playing the slot machine or buying a lottery ticket, for a piece of change you have a slim chance of a nice pay off. They are only picky when the guaranteed money is large

Watching Deduno pitch, if he ever gets the call, should be an interesting experience. Remember Alfredo Simon when he was with the Birds? He had that one season (2010) where he was crazy wild.
Deduno is going to make Simon look like Greg Maddux. But he does have movement on his pitches. Maybe they can fix something in his delivery. They have nothing to lose, in any event.

I have not seen him pitch. Is he able to be effectively wild or is he doomed unless he can fix the control issues?
