"We had a lot of different feelers going out, Flanagan said. "It's not like he wasn't there and we didn't have any other plans. Before free agency, we had made a lot of contact with agents and ballclubs and really felt we got ahead of the market on touching base with all levels of free agents and most ballclubs. We really didn't miss a beat at all."

Jay Payton, Cliff Floyd and Luis Gonzalez rank among the free agents who have been under consideration by the Orioles.

Boy.... with those names, color me UNIMPRESSED!!!..... I know that we are not the most attractive target for big name free agents, but at least try for, and say that we are trying for the big boys.
