After about seven weeks of discussions, the Baltimore Orioles have agreed in principle to a two-year contract extension with second baseman Brian Roberts that, barring a trade, will keep him in Baltimore through the 2009 season.

The deal will total $14.3 million and include a limited no-trade clause.

Pretty good signing for the O's. Roberts is one of the better, most consistant 2nd basemen in the league. What do you Orioles fans think?

Love it... wish it were a longer contract though.....

Good signing by the O's. Roberts has always been one of my favorite 2nd baseman in the league.

Do you think Roberts is over-rated?
I have heard from people he is the most overhyped infielder in all of baseball.

Personally I don't think he is because he has one of the top stats for secondbasemen in the whole MLB.

Yeah, I agree it would have been nicer for the O's to get him to sign to a long-term deal...

I think he may be underappreciated overall, but overrated in how he hit for power the season before last. Overall a good player, bordering on possible All Star material.
