Orioles Are Talking To Trachsel

At Rotoworld they write about the Orioles interest in Steve Trachsel since Kris Benson will be out for the entire season with shoulder surgery:

SI.com's Jon Heyman confirms that the Orioles are talking to free agent Steve Trachsel as they look for a replacement for Kris Benson.

Trachsel had a higher ERA than Benson while pitching in the National League last year, but it wouldn't necessarily a big downgrade if the Orioles plugged him into their rotation. Still, Mark Redman would probably be a slightly better pickup.
