"A left-hander with a good mix of pitchers, he (Jim Umbarger) reached the major leagues fairly quickly several years ago, but hurt his arm, got sick, fell out of the league, and has been trying to pitch his way back up ever since. He hopes that the Orioles just might need another left-hander in their bullpen - less a hope than a dream, given that the Orioles have the strongest pitching staff in baseball." - by Dan Barry in Bottom of the 33rd: Hope, Redemption, and Baseball's Longest Game (Harper Collins Publishers, 04/12/2011, Page 33)
