BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Orioles fortified their bullpen by finalizing deals Tuesday with left-handers Jamie Walker and John Parrish, then turned their attention toward free agent Carlos Lee.
Lee batted .300 with 37 homers, 116 RBIs and 19 steals with Texas and Milwaukee in 2006. He would be a welcome addition to a team that had only two players hit more than 16 homers -- Miguel Tejada (24) and Ramon Hernandez (23).
Baltimore is one of several clubs in pursuit of Lee, who has averaged 33 homers and 111 RBI over the last four seasons.
"We're in the mix, definitely," Orioles vice president Jim Duquette said.
