In December, the Orioles claimed Adam Brett Walker off the Milwaukee Brewers, a club that he had only been with for about two months. The Brewers had claimed him off the Minnesota Twins.

They did and Walker graced the Orioles organization until his presence was put in DFA limbo as mentioned earlier. Now, Adam Brett Walker is one of the best baseball players in the world.
