BP's Christina Kahrl on Roberts trade (potential)

Corkedbat (Dallas): I know the Orioles want to break .500 in the win column this year, but, in your opinion, is that worth keeping on to Brian Roberts for? Are they shopping anyone?
Christina Kahrl: I think it makes sense for the O's to shop him, but it's also equally clear that they should want a shortstop prospect in return, and there aren't a ton of those close to ready and readily available among the contending teams.

Thanks Capt. Obvious. You’re no Rosenthal when it comes to digging up trade rumors.

Wolf, wolf, wolf.

You’d be amazed how many people like to talk baseball and the obvious to you or me or 100 other people here doesn’t smack them in the face.

Why would you expect anyone to know about the O's?

They suck. I’m actually surprised when someone knows something other than the Bedard and Tejada trades.

More generally, why expect people to know much about the other 26 or so teams the major media doesn’t bother to follow. Everyone gets a daily dose of YankeesRedSoxMetsCubs. Other guys get the scraps.
