Orioles quiet at the deadline
So far the Orioles have made no moves before the July 31st trade deadline. Whispers from the warehouse are that they won’t make any moves for the waiver deadline, but will attempt to make some moves before the “real” deadline on August 31st. The O’s have some players that they might be able to move in August (like Millar, Payton, and/or R. Hernandez), but they probably will not net the big return that a July 31st or offseason trade would. I suppose that the O’s will probably be active during the offseason again, so it isn’t anything to get all upset about. Andy MacPhail is in it for the long haul, I guess I’d just prefer that he were picking off some more prospects right now to keep it fresh in my mind.
My initial Ravens Roster Prediction
The following is my initial draft of the Baltimore Ravens players that should make the 53 man roster. The 45 players with an asterisk next to their name I think are going to make the club, so by my estimation there are eight spots are up for grabs. I think those remaining spots are going to come from the remaining linebackers, running backs, and D-Linemen.
Update: Ravens24x7 posted their own stab at the roster based on performance in camp so far. Their list includes some players they think are on the bubble. I intend to post my bubble list as well in my next update.
