I wonder if we are a match with a club like the clubs who have a lot of money tied up in starting pitching and are up against the luxury tax.
I dont yhink they would move a Darvish but I can see them moving a Quintana or Lester
Ofcourse I wouldn't want to give anything of significance it's just eating payroll
Atkins should call Washington and ask them which free agent they will sign. Then he can make fake offers to them
Lol we tried to get every free agent starter but We like Roarks handedness
One thing about JPR
When he got the money he spent. A few things didnt work out and he was let down by choices
But he went for if.
AA went for it too
These guys are just kicking around the can imo
Did you actually read the names
Just because a player is in minor league does not make him a prospect
What the Orioles got back
A 24 year old pitcher who wasnt in the Angel's top 30
A 23 year old position player in single A
2 college arms drafted last year in the 6th and the 8th round
None of these is a prospect
Saddened by the lack of enthusiasm around Wheeler. He is a 4 plus WAR pitcher who has pitched almost 200 innings 3 of the last 4 years
Same $$ as AJ 15 years ago, once adjusted for inflation
Sign me up for 5/110
But have you looked at black Friday deals like Jordan Lyles. Listen to Shapiros bot toy Ben Nicholson Smith. He will enlighten you on the great bargains
As I see it we have two choices
Sign 8 to 10 players like Jaime Garcia for 50 to 60 million. Rehab projects.
Or sign 2 really good pitchers
Atkins is more qaunatatively driven. 8 is better than 2 therefore it is the better deal. Think about it 8 starters on minor league deals at least two or three will have 2 war seasons and then you can flip them for rule 5 candidates or random 26 year olds in AAA
Fun fun fun
