Matt Riley is heading back to Triple-A Ottawa. He had another poor performance last night and will be replaced on the roster by Rick Bauer. Riley would be best off spending at least a month in the minors working on throwing strikes and developing his off-speed pitch.

Bauer will be used out of the pen meaning the O's are probably going to be calling up a starter from Triple-A or a trade could be made.

The O's are definitely going to be sellers in this month's trade market. However, only Jerry Hairston figures to garner much interest in the trade market. His position flexibility will make him a potential target for National League teams. Buddy Groom has also been involved in trade talks but I can't see any team giving up anything significant for him.
