Pauly to the O's, Markakis gets paid

PrintThe Red Sox traded David Pauley, DFA'd last week, to the Baltimore Orioles for righthander Randor Bierd.
The Baltimore Orioles also came to terms with Nick Markakis on a 6 year $66 M extension. The 25 year-old Markakis hit .306 last season for Baltimore, leading the team, and got on base at a .406 clip. His career OBP is a remarkable .375. Markakis was arbitration-eligible for the first time this offseason.
Markakis is one of the best, all-around, young hitters in the game. I don't think this qualifies as a "steal" for the Orioles, but it's certainly fair and guarantees that he won't be skipping town anytime soon.

Grammar issues in the title.
Why couldn’t we get Rocky Cherry?
And didn’t King Felix just sign for $3.4mil for a year? Seems like everyone besides the Yankees seems to accept the bad economy.
For those children who claimed they’ve been a fan of their favorite team all their life, or even since they were about four or five years old: bullshit. There’s always that certain event or certain player that draws to the sport and draws you to a team. For me, Nomar Garciaparra was that reason. - Nick Coviello: I Try To See Rocco, But All I Think Is Nomar; 1/9/09
Nick Markakis is a beast.
In fact, at 6/ $66, I’m starting to think maybe he’s THE Beast.

That is very funny
Very clever!
the difference between a yankee stadium hot dog and a Fenway frank is that they dont sell yankee dogs in October anymore.
Woah.
