Left handed pitcher Brian Burres had his contract purchased by the Orioles, Kurt Birkins was moved to the 60 day DL to make room on the 40 man roster.
Grade: B
Burres had a solid year at AAA Ottawa after being claimed in the offseason from the Giants. I thought he should have been called up earlier in the year, but of course the O’s held on to Russ Ortiz. The 25 year old went 10-6 with a 3.76 ERA in Ottawa with 110 strikeouts and 57 walks in 139 innings of work. I’m interested to see how he performs down the stretch for us.
