Glue Factory?

Following Steve Trachsel's ugly relief outing Saturday, the Baltimore Sun reports that the Orioles "could make a decision shortly on the veteran's roster status." Trachsel was asked to close out an eight-run lead and allowed four runs before being yanked. The newspaper notes that he "appeared incredulous" when manager Dave Trembley came out to the mound to remove him from the game. Trachsel has an 8.39 ERA and the team made a big deal about moving him to the bullpen after a career spent as a starter, so there's seemingly little reason to keep him around at this point.
