The little-known journeyman played a bigger role for the O's bullpen than anyone expected this season.
Back in December, the Orioles signed Chaz Roe to a minor league deal with very little fanfare. Instead there was mostly laughter, thanks to his amusing name and Roch Kubatko tweeting things like "It's going to get done" as if the team was signing Max Scherzer. With the major roster crunch the team had in the bullpen, few expected Roe to ever appear for the Orioles, much less throw over 40 innings. But we were wrong - thanks to injuries to players like Wesley Wright and Jason Garcia, as well as the team sending Ryan Webb to the Dodgers, Roe got his shot and took advantage of the opportunity.
