Orioles Notes: Guthrie, Millwood, Scott

By Mark Polishuk | January 29, 2011 at 1:28pm CDT

Some news items out of the Orioles' FanFest event this weekend…

  • The Orioles have discussed a multiyear contract with Jeremy Guthrie, the right-hander tells MASNsports.com's Steve Melewski.  "I love pitching here and anytime you can provide your family with security, it's a great option," Guthrie said.  "I'm very happy to also play it out year-by-year and have the motivation to go out and do the best that I can. Whatever happens, I'll be a good spot."  Guthrie is going through the arbitration process for the second time in his career; MLBTR's Ben Nicholson-Smith recently analyzed Guthrie's case. 
  • Kevin Millwood is still an option for the O's, reports Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com.  Andy MacPhail told the FanFest crowd that the idea of re-signing Millwood "hasn't been ruled out 'by any stretch,' " but the Orioles can't guarantee a rotation spot to Millwood or any free agent starter.  We've heard that Millwood is interested in returning to Baltimore, but without the promise of a regular starting gig, he could turn to other suitors like the Indians or Yankees.
  • Luke Scott has told Buck Showalter that not only is he willing to move to left field if Baltimore signs Vladimir Guerrero, but Scott "wants to play defense," Showalter tells Steve Melewski.  Scott played 106 games in left in 2008 and had a very solid +5.8 UZR/150 rating, but he has made just 40 outfield starts over the last two seasons.

    10,000 people showed up to their offseason fanfest today, to meet and greet players, coaches, and officials. Wow. If there is any doubt, if the Orioles can finally return to their past days of perennial contention, the huge fanbase will come back in droves.

    For us older fans, it’s a shame that there’s a young gen right now who doesn’t know any different than the Orioles of the last decade.

      Basemonkey,

      It’s bittersweet for me. I am glad that the support for the team is coming back.

      However, it is also annoying since I’ve been with the team through thick and thin (mostly thin, I’m only 21 after all). Now everyone is coming back and talking about the team like they have a clue about what’s been going on the past few years.

      Sigh.

      Wouldn’t it be grand if they could hire Earl ‘the human Gerbil” Weaver back and get some spark back on the team?

      I also am like you in that regard and TRULY miss the days of a year in and out 3 way dogfight between Baltimore, Boston and NY. What a shame pretty much every Angelos owned O’s team has been.

    How about a 2/15 deal for Guthrie?

    The Orioles have a pretty bright future. One of the better young cores of any team in the league, and they have the capability to sign and keep those guys, unlike some other teams. If the young pitchers pan out then this team could compete very soon. I have them finishing 4th this year, ahead of the Jays.

      didnt they lose like 15 of 16 to the jays last year lmao , i dont know how much u think they improved but i have a hard time believing the Jays regressed that much and the O’s got that much better considering thier pitching was the worst part and they have yet to upgrade it.

        You can lyao all you want, but that was a fluke and EVERYONE in baseball knows it. You clearly have no idea about the Orioles if you say the pitching was the worst part of the team. The worst part of the team was the fact that they were next to last in runs scored last year.

        Believe it. The Jays traded their best pitcher and they have to rely on a guy who played so over his head last year it defies imagination. You really think Bautista can hit 54 again?

        Head to head, the Orioles match up very well with the Jays and aren’t that far off many other clubs.

              all in all i think the jays and O’s are comparable on paper, O’s might have a stronger offense, jays should have stronger pitching. but really, what are we arguing here?? neither of us will sniff the playoffs without a major debacle in NY or Boston. the key comparison is long term, and in that case the jays farm system and salary commitments (or lack thereof) have to give them a huge edge even if the major league rosters are comparable at the moment
