Seeking to fill what has become the team's most glaring deficiency, the Orioles have engaged in talks with the Toronto Blue Jays regarding shortstop David Eckstein, according to industry sources. Eckstein, 33, is hitting .273 with one home run and 18 RBIs in 198 at-bats. However, he has become expendable on a roster that includes infielders Marco Scutaro, John McDonald and Joe Inglett, who has seen his role increase with regular second baseman Aaron Hill injured.

Eckstein is a nice role player.....
but why would the O's want HIM ?
they aren't winning anytime soon & he's already 33+

Ugh...Dear God. This is painful.

Mussina should just walk him every time he comes up. I think we'll win today though.

Hey, Moose has 10 wins. He's been the most consistent pitcher on the Yankees, which isn't a good thing actually.

Mussina has gotten good support from both the offense and the pen in most starts.

I think the Yanks will take the next 2. If they don't, then I'll shut up until they start playing real baseball.
