They say War never changes but it seems to me they re-calibrate it every few years.

1. I don't. 2. We are talking about a team playing out the string. Think of some of the reclamation projects we've seen I Baltimore. 3. No idea, I was thinking more of a guarantee he'd not be down long enough.

Emotional? I don't think Elias is the emotional type. The incentive for another team is to get a guy that can eat innings. A 100 loss team needs cheap guys that can eat innings. We've been the 100 loss team often enough to know.

Could just give Roch a lifetime contract.
-
If you had a team full of "OK" 3 wins guys you'd do really well. The O's had two position players last season that had 3 fWAR.
-
I think there are some teams that are rebuilding that could give him a chance. What's he got to lose? He gets paid either way. Once he gets sent down he loses a lot of the protections he's earned.
-
He's at -.2 right now so yea, he'd need to exceed three wins the rest of the way. Seems a bit too optimistic for me right now. Pretty fair cutoff point.
-
Nothing stopping the O's from Non-tendering him in the offseason so no difference in job security. I get where you are coming from, to me it seems like additional risk without additional reward.
-
I don't think it's a good idea to trust a team to not screw you over. I don't think it's a matter of pride, it's a matter of not being a sucker. He gets paid this year either way and he has no guarantee of getting a contract for next season either way.
-
A team would wait and pick him up for the minimum.
-
That's an opinion. I wouldn't trust the O's not to delay my free agency if I handed them the chance. Just like Kim didn't trust them. He's earned the right to refuse.
-
If the O's had evaluated correctly they wouldn't have traded for him last year! More like the Mets flubbed it. I think most folks thought that was a bit of an odd signing after the season he had last year.
-
I don't know if the Means camp can force a binding agreement that a minor league stint won't impact his free agency. Without that guarantee I don't see him agreeing to be sent down.
-
That might be an issue in this clubhouse.

Aren't the Tides struggling enough already?
