Kris Benson Out for '07?
Blurb on the MSN home page just caught my eye, "Oriole starter out for year." Yes, it's our old friend Kris Benson, and yes, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports says it's a rotator cuff tear. Surgery and a year of rehab.
I feel sorry for the guy, if only because he now has to spend a lot more time with his wife (easy on the eyes, not so easy on the ears).
So I guess that trade's looking better and better. Benson for Maine, who I hope will be a decent 3-4 starter for the next few years, and Julio, who was flipped for El Duque. All in all, not a blockbuster, but a very smart and/or lucky deal by Omar.

Trachsel and Wright
Seriously, is there a worse team to be a fan of right now than Baltimore? I mean, the Devil Rays have a fantastic farm system, the Royals have some hot prospects, and even the Pirates have a slim chance this year considering how wretched their division is. None of the above applies to Baltimore.
I feel bad for Benson, but at least we can thank his psycho wife for ripping on Carlos Delgado, thus getting Omar to turn Kris into John Maine and (indirectly) Orlando Hernandez.
