Jason Vargas
SP FA
Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com reports that the Orioles have been asking around about starting pitchers and names the Angels' Jason Vargas as "one interesting possibility."
The Orioles have also been mentioned a possible landing spot for Bud Norris, though Knobler hears that they haven't made the Astros an offer. Vargas comes with some risk, as he is currently working his way back from surgery last month to remove a blood clot from his left armpit. He's a fly ball pitcher anyway, so he would probably be a poor fit for Camden Yards and the other hitter-friendly ballparks in the AL East.
