Uehara was a good guy to have, but only if you have games where you need a set-up man. The Orioles clearly wont have many more leads to protect this year, so they traded Uehara to the Rangers for an underachieving young first baseman and a coming-off-injury young pitcher. Still, if the pitcher works out, it may be worth the deal. We believe Derrek Lee was also being held out of tonight's second game of a Yankmee double-header {Os already tanked the first}, and their best trade chip may be snake-bitten starter Jeremy Guthrie. Trust us when we say your competitive entertainment dollar is much better spent during the local summer concert circuit, or one of the baseball games at Salisbury, Frederick, Bowie or Hagerstown. Uehara must be ecstatic-we know he doesn't like to pitch in ungodly heat, but just dramatically elevated his chances of playing October baseball for a ring.http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/blog/2011/07/koji_trade_updated.html
