If he's healthy he will provide close to 200IP and solid albeit not spectacular numbers - Number 3/4. If Morrow can finally live up to the hype and Dickey/Beurhle do what they do it will be a pretty respectable rotation with Happ/Hutchison/Drabek/Stroman/McGowan/Rogers/Redmond/Jenkins and Romero battling for the fifth spot. It would be SOOO nice if Romero could bounce back - it would be nice to have a nice bit of luck for once.

Good signing. The team still isn't good enough.

 

We need to kind of poach Nick Franklin from the Mariners. I mean maybe Jack Z likes Sierra lol.

Sad state of affairs when we're jizzing our pants over an Ervin Santana signing...

 

Santana is a good pitcher. He's going to give us a ton of innings. The home runs are troubling but he's a huge upgrade over the crap we're sending out there now.

This actually saves the season. I was kinda depressed about our chances, now I'm fired up and can't wait for April.

You mean this $150 million ~84 win team doesn't do it for you?

 

Crazier things have happened. The Orioles have played over their heads the last two years. You just never know. This is a huge signing. Allows us to keep Hutch and Stroman down for some more seasoning.

If the owners of this franchise wanted an efficiently built roster, they wouldn't have approved the payroll increase last off season. In fact, they would've traded Bautista, Morrow and others for prospects during the 2012 off season or during the 2013 season.

I'd rather go with

 

Dickey

MB

Santana

Morrow

Hutch

 

I don't want Happ anywhere near the rotation. A 5 inning day from Happ is his max potential... That to me is no good if you have dreams of contending. Stroman is the guy who needs more seasoning. Not sure what else Hutch needs to do in the minors. He already has the stuff and the poise to make the MLB rotation IMO.

Now if you consider Santana as replacing Johnson this is basically the same team as last year that we were all excited about.

 

...plus an upgrade at catcher and better def at 2nd.

And why the f*** didn't they qualify JJ if they had this cash? He's at least as good as Santana and there was a very real chance of him netting a 1st round pick.

 

Did you watch that train wreck last year? This is a much better option. JJ wasn't turning down that QO... His agent was basically saying as much.
