If we are honest in our heart of hearts, the vast majority of any waiver claims made by the Baltimore Orioles or any team rarely amount to much. Players are placed on waivers for a reason and most that get claimed end up playing small roles or just take up roster space just in case other players get hurt. Even in successful cases as was the case with Baltimore and Shawn Dubin last season, the success is often very fleeting.
However, there are times when waiver claims are a bit speculative and turn out great. Back in the days of waiver wire trades, names like Larry Walker and David Cone ended up getting moved in pretty significant deals at the time.
