Had a feeling that he'd be a bad signing for an American League East Team, guy should have stayed in Cleveland.
In 9 short years, this POS (1 year wonder-2010 Rockies-a fluke? Yep): Has led his league twice in Wild Pitches A lifetime .509 Win Pctg.(and he’s lucky its not much lower). A lifetime 3.98 ERA (and he’s lucky its not higher). His agent sure knows how to sale a bucket of crap..! And he’s lucky he’s had 2 decent years, out of 9. His current .250 Win Pctg. Is sick. On top of all this, the O’s paid him 11.25 mil this year, increasing to 13.5 mil in 2017. How he got the contract blows my mind, its beyond logic or reason. I can’t find out who his Agent is, please don’t tell me its Scott Bor-ass….I doubt even Bor-ass would take on a POS like Jiminez. Shit for that type of money, I’d be willing to give Gaylord Perry and Phil Niekro come out of retirement.
http://baseballmusings.com/?p=10076...eed: Baseballmusingscom (baseballmusings.com) June 8, 2014 Ubaldo Jimenez tried hard to give up a grand slam to the Orioles in the top of the third inning. After three walks to start the inning, John Jaso launched a fly ball to deep center that hit the top of the wall and bounced back. It was initially called a home run, but on review it was clear it did not leave the ballpark. The call was reversed to a two-run double. Jimenez walks another batter, gets a force at the plate, then Brandon Moss left no doubt as he hit a homer well over the fence for a grand slam. Control eluded Jimenez again, and he’s out of the game having allowed six runs in 2 1/3 innings. Oakland leads Baltimore 6-0.
I can only imagine....Buck's probably wondering the same thing, why did I take this damn job, with Duquette playing Buck like a Marionette....tho' Buck doesn't like GM's pulling his chain, let alone Team Owners. You know Buck, he's got to be besides himself right about now.
After he had that solid season for the Rockies in 2010 (19-8) I really thought his career was going to take off. His career mark at that time was 50-36. Since then he's gone 34-46 & has basically been a bust.
After almost giving up a grand slam, Jiminez by damned wound up giving up a Granny before he was pulled off the mound. 6 earned runs in 2 2/3rds innings, now sporting a 5.00+ ERA... What a stud....NOT...! Send him back to the Minors or DFA....tho' the O's bit the bullet on his contract, making him almost expendable, and UN-TRADEABLE...! POS..!
