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.
…thanks to steve from nc who also points out that on last night’s law & order, some key characters were supposedly named Minaya, Beltran, and Delgado…i am yet to confirm that this is true or not…

Bring him back!
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
With him out, that means he can’t trade for our washed up players anymore. Wasn’t he responsible for the Benson for Maine and Julio deal?
Damn. Now there is no chance we get Bedard for our prospects.
to be fair: there is no way that a 1st year gm had the power to trade the #1 prospect in the organization. jeff “paris” wilpon was running the team at the time. he has to take an equal hit.
hate to say it, but steve phillips did a great job drafting (or signing undrafted) free agents: reyes, wright, kazmir, heilman, bannister, milledge, mike jacobs
phillips def knew how to scout talent hes not smart enough to be a GM but if he were still involved in the mets baseball operations somehow i bet he could be an asset.
haha, paris. thats perfect…
Let’s not forget that Peterson signed off on the kazmir trade saying that the guy was at least a couple of years away. The jacket is bulletproof.
You had Bucking F.N. Dent. You had Aaron F.N. Boone, and since the Kazmir trade Jim F.N. Duquette joins the list of famous sports personas with a middle initials of F.N …
Even if Rick Peterson signed off on it, it is ultimately upto ownership and the GM. Does anyone in their right mind think this was a good deal? On the day of the trade did you think so? This is a team that was in the Wild Card hunt, but was under .500. Joke.
How that guy got another job as a GM is beyond me. Maybe he’ll go to Tampa, with his boy Scott.
Regis, Good catch on Law & Order:
Guest Lead; Dr. Manny Beltran: Mid 20s. Puerto Rican man. After a childhood surrounded by violence and crime, Manny turned his life around and worked his way through college and medical school in order to be able to help people and save lives. When Goren & Eames question him about his connection to a shooting, his past threatens to catch up with him.
Guest Lead; Frank Delgado: 18, Puerto Rican. Son of imprisoned gang member Raymond Delgado and grandson of proud Korean War vet Rudolfo Delgado. Recently enlisted in the Marines at the urging of his grandfather. Believes strongly in his father’s innocence, and has been focused on freeing him since he was a child. Questioned by Goren & Eames about Raymond’s possible connection to a recent shooting. Proficiency with skateboard and/or ripstick encouraged.
Guest Lead; Rudolfo Delgado: 60s-Early 70s. Puerto Rican man. Father of imprisoned gang member Raymond Delgado and grandfather of Frank Delgado. A Korean war vet, he is proud of his grandson’s decision to join the Marines and ashamed of his son’s criminal behavior. Questioned by Goren & Eames about Raymond’s possible connection to a recent shooting;
Raymond Delgado: Mid 30s. Puerto Rican man. Violent gang member who has been doing hard time for the past decade. Insists that he is not guilty of the crime he is in prison for. Questioned by Goren & Eames about his possible connection to a recent shooting;
Albert Minaya: Early 30s, Puerto Rican man. Career junkie. Is dealing in his usual location in a Bronx park when an unexpected figure from his past pays a visit;
that is stunningly thorough. Nicely.
I watched that episode and noticed the names. I was slightly miffed that all the characters were criminals. Not very complimentary.
Pretty funny….
