According to the Associated Press, Orioles Vice President of baseball operations Jim Duquette resigned Friday after two seasons with the team.

Duquette joined the Orioles in October 2005 after working in the front office of the Mets for 14 of the previous 15 seasons, including 1 1/2 years as general manager.

Duquette is best known by Mets fans for trading pitching prospect Scott Kazmir to the Devil Rays for the injury-prone and unproductive Victor Zambrano.
