Orioles trade for Odrisamer Despaigne, pitching continues to be a joke


I don't really understand what the Orioles' front office thinks a winning team looks like but thankfully it appears they're never going to figure it out.  This team has had a championship caliber lineup/bullpen for years.  The only thing holding them back has been godawful starting pitching and with so much of it available this winter you'd figure they would have made a run at somebody.  Zimmerman wasn't that expensive.  Maybe break the bank and lure Price from the Sox.  How how about just retaining the best pitcher you had?  Sorry, we're going into this season with literally the worst rotation in the history of baseball.  We've got fucking Ubaldo Jimenez as the chairman of the board.  Mike Gonzalez and Chris Tillman are lined up to pitch playoff games.  Then we're going to fill out the rest of the rotation with busts like Kevin Gausman and Dylan Bundy while borderline major leaguers like Odrisamer Despaigne and Mike Wright shuffle between the bullpen and the rotation all year trying to patch things up.  But hey, at least you spent $200 million on a set-up man and a first baseman who hit .196 two years ago.
