andy mcphail set the bar for the star pitcher.uld think that they should be able to command even more than what the orioles got for bedard because halladay is a better pitcher. no disrespect to eric but halladay may be the best pitcher in the game. and he is in his prime at age 32. >> buck: it's all about timing and perception. halladay would make anybody a better contender. knows clubs that are close, you put him in the rotation and all of a sudden, they become a very strong contending ball club. but at the same time, at what cost? you can't disrupt your major league team. ground ball to third. >> jim: mora goes to second for the force play on millar. that ends the inning. a one-out single and a man left. the sun is now out and the orioles down by 3. to ride in the bottom of the plane in the dark. no peanuts or nothin'. and then if your bag wants to bring one of its little bag friends for company, they charge another $25. that's just plain mean. why do they hate your bags? at southwest airlines, bags fly free. grab your bag. it's

the other thing that i really have come to admire the way that andy mcphail runs the pharmacies tell with the prospects is he almost forces them to show that they deserve t you have not seen any, let's go out and get that guy. everyone that's come up has done what they have been asked to do, which is show me you are ready and show me some more. you know, nolan reimold had that huge year in bowie and he didn't even get a spring training invitation because they wanted him to prove that he could do it again. you know what? he did. he was added to the roster, had a very good spring and has been up since may 14 th. bouncer to third. playing in was encarnacione. he will get it to first and the insomething over. base hit and a man left. 7th inning stretch brought to you by jack daniels whiskey. xxúú . >> jim: brian bass has done a good job of 3 2/3. matt albers will try to do the same and the orioles still have a shot now down by 2. top of the line-up against albers here in the 7th. brian bass allowed only two base runners in his 3 1/3, both singles. here is matt albers who has not been pit

. >> jim: andy mcphail is the former generalral manager here in minnesota. built those two world series teams we were talking about. >> buck: another era of baseball is closing here in the twin cities. when they first played here, they had an outdoor stadium by the airport. it has now become the site of the mall of america in the old metropolitan stadium. and now they're going to move to a ballpark downtown, outdoor stadium. this is the turf that's been put down on the field as we speak. they're going to put it down over the next day or so, and starting to water it, and the sprinklers are going, and it's a good thing. >> jim: michael aubrey has a hitting streak to extend his streak to six in a row. >> buck: ty wiggington did a pretty good, so of watching video of last time they faced kansas city, and he said kansas city hitting pretty hard, but he made some pretty good pitches, and he noticed he threw a change-up to right- handed hitters, something you don't see a lot of. i haven't my, since may 10th, his watting average over .300, terry crowley has been tel

it's not like a cash transaction with rich hill when andy mcphail just collected the change between thebe a player coming back. we don't know yet. chad moehler offers the same things that greg zaun does, he is a pack stop. he will block the pitches in the dirt and will block the trade. the question is, why do you make the trade? it's interesting, dave trembley says he wants matt wieters to start playing more regularly, maybe six times a week. they brought him along slowly. matt wieters is excite. he says he has never been playing this little. greg zaun was a starter, now, twice a week. and then they're going to say, hey, can you play once a week? and chat moehler, you know, he has not played. greg gets to play in tampa where he has a home. >> chris tillman comes to the big league very touted minor league pitcher, 8-6, .270 e.r.a. very impressive. the first two games were so so in my mind. detroit was a disaster for him. yesterday, he actually pitched in a fame and i loved what i saw. what are your impressions? >> he didn't throw. he pitched. any impression with chris tillman, he is 21 y
