The Orioles signing of Koji Uehara is already generating buzz:

Uehara, who passed his physical and finalized a two-year, $10 million, incentive-laden deal with the Orioles, has been followed closely by the Japanese media since landing in the United States on Sunday. There were 25 reporters who awaited his arrival at Washington Dulles International Airport and a handful of television crews that waited outside Camden Yards on Monday while the 33-year-old was taking his physical elsewhere.
The Orioles have gotten such a significant response for today’s noon news conference that they moved it to a bigger room on another floor in the warehouse to accommodate the media.

The Orioles are going to use him as a starter, although two years ago he was moved to the bullpen. His innings were down in 2008 due to his participation in the Olympics. He’s going to be the Orioles #2 starter, and if his control is anything like it was in Japan, he’ll be the exact opposite of Daniel Cabrera. I just wonder if he’s going to have the stamina to last the season given lack of work the last two years.
