My sweet friend Orber DESERVES a chance to prove himself to MLB. The Tigers gave him up on the last day of spring training 2008 in favor of keeping Todd Jones, and we saw how that went. This kid (Moreno, I mean — NOT Jones!) is GREAT! He would be an asset to any club intent on building for the future — he’s old enough to have proven himself successful in the Venezuelan winter leagues, and he’s young enough to have quite a few years to offer his services to an American club.

Did Orber Moreno win some pitching award in Venezuela?
