Looks like he's finally being traded to the Orioles for Jerry Hairston Jr and minor leaguers Mike Fontenot and David Crouthers. Fontenot is rated by Baseballamerica as the Orioles number 7 prospect while Crouthers is number 10. Crouthers also has the best slider in the Orioles' system.
The Cubs will also send around 10 million dollars to the Orioles. I figure Hairston will play left or right, depending on whether or not Ordonez is signed. I can't see this happening, it would be such a waste. THat would leave DuBois AND Hollandsworth on the bench and we'd be spending WAY too much money for a guy filled with injury questions (Ordonez). Hopefully this will be the last move they make and go to Spring Training with this lineup:
Hairston Jr. RF
Walker 2B
Nomar SS
A. Ramirez 3B
Lee 1B
DuBois/Hollandsworth LF
Patterson CF
Barrett C
DON't sign Ordonez!!!
Bulls and Boston College plays today.
