Minor League Free Agent Signings

George Sherrill and Kirby Millar were independent league players. Sometimes these signings turn into something but usually they just turn into organizational players.

yea I think its a LONG LONG shot that he becomes anything more than an org guy

I always hope that any signing my team makes works out. Just not sure that signing a 17 year old softball player from a country that has never produced a major league player is movement forward. Maybe we can get them to revive The King and His Court and we can just play with 4.

We've got about four real players now.

As long as they keep showing an attempt to find international talent, I will not knock any minor move like this. It's all a plus in my books. You need to start off somewhere

Agreed to terms with RP Oscar Villarreal. I remember him from a while ago. Seems like the Orioles are just attempting to catch some lightning in a bottle. Can't hurt. Another body in camp if anything.

I see where Yahoo is reporting that on 1/17 the O's signed Armando Galarraga to a minor league contract. We all know him as the man with the "un-perfect" game.

I know he hasn't done much since but this signing I like.

Orioles signed Travis Adair (Rick Adair's son)

and Winston Abreu. remember him!?!?

Orioles signed LHP Casey Fossum. He was drafted by Buck in 1996 and Duquette in 1999

Looks like the O's are close to signing Nick Johnson to a minor league deal.
They have signed Dane Sardinha to a minor league deal.
