Orioles, Red Sox In The Mix For Joe Beimel

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | January 25, 2011 at 3:25pm CDT

The Orioles and Red Sox are two of the five teams in the mix for Joe Beimel, according to Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun (on Twitter). The left-hander has received interest from clubs in both leagues and could make a decision this week. The Orioles have made Beimel a minor league offer, according to Connolly.

Beimel, who has a habit of signing late in the offseason, posted a 3.40 ERA with 4.2 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 in 45 innings for the Rockies last year. The 33-year-old struggled against right-handed hitters, but was especially effective against left-handed hitters, holding them to a .221/.275/.379 line.

Troy Renck of the Denver Post reported yesterday that Beimel had several irons in the fire.

    His ERA last season (and for the couple of seasons before that in fact) was awfully flattering when you actually consider the statistics that matter. I can’t see the Sox offering anything but a minor league contract either.

    decent numbers against lefties…wouldn’t mind him as Okie-surance. Go for it Theo.

    He’d be stupid to take the O’s minor league offer. If Nick Punto and Scott Hairston can get major league deals, Beimel should too

    Would rather have Atchison as the back of the BP guy who can go more than 1 inning over Beimel, especially since Francona has this “crush” with established vets and would probably take beimel out of camp and expose innings eater Atchison to yet another waiver claim and he would be gone this time.. As mediocre as he is..he at least can go 2-3 innings and get people out.

    If Francona wants a lefty..let Doubrant stick with his mid 90’s FB, forget this vet who can’t buy a RH out.

    Not bad depth for the Sox – he may be worth taking a flyer on. You can never have too much pitching…
