The Orioles GM has accepted this offer. The following are the reasons:
The main reason is our interest in pitcher Zambrano who looks like he got in shape over the off-season and should be an above average starter. The second reason is that Luke Scott had only 9 homers last year, and for 4.5 million dollars, we wanted to have more production.
