| April 5, 2008 Who said this closing thing was difficult? George Sherrill now has three saves in three appearances for the Orioles after Saturday night.

| March 25, 2008 George Sherrill was dominant in his lone inning of work on Tuesday as he held the Marlins hitless, with two strikeouts. Sherrill will be the Orioles' closer this season, and today's performance is a main reason why. |

Manager Dave Trembley made the announcement on Tuesday morning while the Twins took batting practice in preparation for today's spring game with the O's. "It feels good," Sherrill said.

| March 12, 2008 Orioles manager Dave Trembley said several decisions will be made after Monday's open spring date, this according to the Baltimore Sun. The decision fantasy owners are interested in --the identity of the Orioles' closer. George Sherrill, who came into spring training with an eye on the ninth inning role, has done everything the staff has asked of him. Sherrill, who had a career 10.48 ERA in spring training entering this year, has allowed just one earned run, two hits and no walks in five innings. Barring a meltdown in the next two weeks, Sherrill will receive the save chances beginning on opening day. |

| February 27, 2008 George Sherrill will throw a side session on Friday, and if that goes well he should be able to pitch on Monday, according to the Baltimore Sun.

| February 26, 2008 Manager Dave Trembley said George Sherrill will throw a side session in a couple of days and could be ready to pitch in a spring game early next week, according to the Baltimore Sun.

| February 23, 2008 George Sherrill, who strained his right hamstring during Friday's practice, told MLB.com it felt about the same Saturday morning. "It's still too early to tell," Sherrill said. "It's just one of those things that happen." Sherrill, who has a chance to be the Orioles' closer this season, did have treatment on it Friday and Saturday and plans to be cautious for awhile. The Orioles are calling it a mild strain and Sherrill is day-to-day. |
| February 22, 2008 George Sherrill, expected to vie for the Orioles closers role, tweaked his hamstring on Friday and was removed from practice, according to the Baltimore Sun. No word is yet known on the status of his injury. At this point one would expect many players to have little bumps and bruises, so hopefully this is but a speed bump on Sherrill's way to claiming the closers role this spring. |
| February 14, 2008 Chris Ray, who had season ending Tommy John Surgery on his right elbow last year, expects to be pitching again sometime this season. In the mean time, Baltimore wants to give recently acquired George Sherrill a chance to earn the closer job. Sherrill a set-up man with the Seattle Mariners is excited about the opportunity, according to the Baltimore Sun. "I'd love to close. I think it's every reliever's goal. But just being part of something is all I can ask for," he said. Sherrill, a minor league closer, has four career saves in four major league seasons. |
| February 8, 2008 The Orioles acquired George Sherrill, outfielder Adam Jones and pitching prospects Chris Tillman, Tony Butler and Kam Mickolio from the Mariners Friday in exchange for Erik Bedard. Sherrill posted a nifty 2.36 ERA and 0.99 WHIP to go along with an 11.04 K/9 rate in 73 games last year for the M's. He should be given a chance to compete for the O's closer gig. |
| January 16, 2008 George Sherrill avoided arbitration by signing a one-year contract with the Mariners on Tuesday, according to the Seattle Times. The contract is for $980,000 with $60,000 in performance bonuses. Assuming Sherrill isn't dealt to Baltimore in a possible Erik-Bedard deal, he will once again provide stability in the back of Seattle's bullpen. |
