I was thinking the same thing, especially for the playoffs

Maybe. Good idea. I would like to see them get someone like Jeremy Guthrie.

No way that the O’s part with Guthrie. After Millwood leaves, Guthrie is the only starter on the staff with more than a year and a half of experience.

There’s no reason for them not to if they can get a decent return. If they feel like they need a veteran starter they can always sign someone in the offseason for a cheap deal.
Westbrook, Penny, Francis, Chris Young, etc. If the Orioles can get something good for Guthrie (and why not? He’s been pitching well and is still under team control), they absolutely should. They’re not competing while he’s an Oriole anyway.

“If” they can get a decent return. The O’s are competing with Showalter here. They just swept the Angels on the road. They still have Guthrie for two more years, so there is no rush to trade him if they can otherwise improve the team in the offseason through free agency and other trades. And they’ll need to replace Guthrie if they trade him.

Exactly — if they get a decent return. My comment was derived from mstrchef implying that Guthrie should be off limits. There’s no way a player like Guthrie should be off-limits to any team in baseball if you’re the O’s.
As for the Angels, they may be thought of as a good team because of their track record, but they’re as average as they come at this point. Kudos to Buck and the boys for sweeping them in LA — it’s not easy to sweep any team on the road really — but that statement doesn’t hold the same meaning it would’ve in prior seasons.

True that the Angels aren’t what they once were, but the O’s swept them without Adam Jones in the lineup and with minimal help from an injured Brian Roberts. So even when they are weaker than normal, the O’s are starting to win again. This is an encouraging sign, and it’s due in part to the excellent pitching they have had since Showalter joined; Guthrie has been part of that.

They need a good return to move Guthrie, decent won’t cut it. Other than minor injury problems he’s been very consistent. You know you are getting a 200 inning pitcher who will be your #3 starter.
Unlike most Orioles fans I’m in favor of moving him (and Scott) to help the organization improve overall but they need ML ready players, not low level prospects. Because he has been very good for two months (like Scott) most fans will ask the moon for him though.

No way he makes it past EVERYONE in the National League. Especially with all the contenders knowing we want pitching.

Please take Zach Duke away from the Pirates. Thanks.

If the Padres sign Millwood, give Headley shin guards so he can protect himself on the field.
bw831
who is the odd man out in the rotation if they add a starter?
Ohhhplease
I can’t imagine anyone other than Correia…he was destroyed by the DImaondbacks on Thursday, and has not been the pitcher he was last year. I wonder if they are just going to wait until Wed. and try and pitch Stauffer and Lubeke.
Eric
YES take MILLWOOD
Even if we get a low level prospect im happy.
GasLampGuru
They should be going after Kuroda. Millwood is no better than Kevin Correia.
Steve619
LA isn’t gonna do anything to help SD out.

Agreed
