Re: O's ink Jamie Walker
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Orioles have agreed in principal to a three-year deal with Detroit Tigers left-handed reliever Jamie Walker, according to two club sources.The contract will pay Walker, arguably the best left-handed reliever on the free agent market, approximately $11.5 million over three seasons. The deal will not be official until Walker, who had a 2.81 ERA in 56 games last season, takes and passes a physical.Walker, 35, has been with Detroit since 2002 as a left-handed relief specialist. Last season was his best statistically as he allowed just 15 earned runs in 48 innings and held lefties to a .238 batting average.After having the second worst bullpen ERA in the major leagues last season, the Orioles have made overhauling their relief pitching the top off-season priority. They are still targeting several other relievers, with Toronto right-handed set-up man Justin Speier being at the top of the list.</div>http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/basebal...ports-headlinesSweet. We snagged a nice left-hander that had a 2.81 ERA for the World Series opponent Detroit Tigers.
