  2. And my point has been if we don't get Hamilton, who do you want the O's to get to bring the payroll up to where you want it? I understand being mad at not getting a free agent that you want because the O's can afford it. I can argue with you about that. A worse argument is saying the O's should have a higher payroll next year just because they can afford it. You still are tap dancing around the original question like you're best at and just disagreeing with a small point I made.
  3. No because when Hamilton makes us better and we make the playoffs we get more revenue so then in 2 years we can then spend 200M in payroll which means we will have more room to pay those players. No, they don't see.
  4. I'd rather not offer at all then be stuck with that contract.
  5. Here is where you have our argument work. We aren't saying that the O's can't afford a 120M payroll. We are saying that we think Hamilton is too expensive, and if we don't get Hamilton, I'm not just going to spend 20M to spend it to get up to 120M just because we can get there. If we don't get Hamilton, I'd rather go after McLouth (Ross I'd be okay with also). That gives us one of those two with Jones, Markakis, and Reimold. We are set at 3B and SS. There are no options for a better 2B. Wieters and Davis is back. Are you trying to say that just because the O's can afford a 120M payroll that on opening day next year that's how much their payroll should be? That's foolish.
  6. That's crazy that you would have given Prince that. I have felt that our difference on Hamilton was a matter of us having different opinions on what he will get in free agency. Now it seems like you are willing to pay these guys MUCH more then I am.
  7. Princes agent comes to you the day before he signs and says "Prince needs 9 years, 235-250 to sign" Are you saying let me fax the contract over to you? Yay or nay?
  8. I'll ask you the same question, would you have signed Fielder to the contract he got last year?
  9. I think I've asked you this before, but would you have signed Fielder to the contract that he got?
  10. I've stated this multiple times that I've been pro sign a big bat. I really wanted Prince. I really wanted Adam Dunn. The reason why I have been anti spend big money this offseason is because I don't want Hamilton. I don't want Hamilton because I think he is going to get paid. I think he gets a fairly large contract.
  11. Apparently we are supposed to sign our own guys, sign Josh Hamilton, make more revenue by doing these moves, and then go even more hog wild in free agency in a year or two.
