Steve Trachsel and the Orioles have agreed to terms on a one-year, $3.1 million contract with a $4.75 million option for 2008, according to FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal.

 

That didn't take long. Trachsel will replace Kris Benson in the rotation, putting Jeremy Guthrie back in the bullpen mix and making it likely that Hayden Penn and Garrett Olson will open the season in Triple-A. It's unlikely that he'll have any fantasy value.

Probably going to get the same production, minus the hot wife.

Well, another experienced pitcher the Cardinals wanted just went somewhere else :D

Speaking of Trachsel and STL wasn't he the one that gave up #62 to McGwire?

It's going to be tons of fun ribbing my brother (Orioles fan) that their big offseason pitching staff upgrade consisted of Jaret Wright and Steve Trachsel. And we thought Lilly and Marquis was disappointing.

As much as I dislike Trachsel,its still better than paying 3/21 for Marquis.
