Last year I did a five-part series that studied the legacy of Orioles general manager Dan Duquette. You have likely figured out I'm a baseball fan, and although my big league team of choice is my home region's Detroit Tigers I follow the Orioles as well because that's where a lot of my Delmarva Shorebirds end up - if Duquette doesn't trade them away. At the end of last season fans were bitterly frustrated that the Orioles couldn't get past the wild card game, and this season they really fumed as players they dealt away for guys who never panned out or simply dismissed in cash deals succeeded for other teams.
