Or maybe they're desperate for Marshall, and Hendry didn't trust Olson. So he acquires Heilman, and then deals Marshall.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Why bring in Olsen in the first place, then?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I could speculate as to reasons (O's were the only team really interested in Pie, and they didn't want Olson either), but I don't really know.
Hell, it could be because Hendry had approached the M's about Heilman (that part's a certainty), and the M's said they wanted Olson from the O's. Shit if I know how these things go down.

I dunno, <b>I find it hard to believe that Pie had fallen so hard as to only be able to net Garrett Olsen.</b> I also find it hard to believe that the Mariners held out for Garrett Olsen when/if we asked for Aaron Heilman.

Yes, this stuff about Pie falling so low that he's worthless on the trade market is just bullshit. About 95% of the writers, bloggers, and TV talking-heads liked that trade for the Orioles, and Pie is projected to be the O's starting LFer in 2009.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Pie was going to be our #3 CF with nowhere to go. He's not ready to play in the big leagues and may never be. He's going to start on the Orioles, a complete shithouse of a baseball team. On a team with championship aspirations, he should be nowhere near the starting roster.
