  1. That would be me BoltonBob, now in Clearwater, Fl........ Hi folks!
  2. What He Said! That said O's brass and Buck have to look at the younger, longer term folks now while things are still in the "developmental stage." :scratchchinhmm::scratchchinhmm: Look for Lew in Aug again to stabilize and bring energy/(and laughs) to the team. Good solder. Ready in a moments notice if needed. :2yay-thumb::2yay-thumb::clap3::clap3: I can't wait!
  3. INJUSTICE!! As a good company man he will accept this graciously. Seeing Buck on Thurs before 7pm game vs Rays, thanks to O's fan from Boston. (Thanks Jim). Plan to bring up Lew (who fixes teammates' computers) and Steve J. opening in Balt. Really need Lew to fix my laptop, as some drunk (may have been me, I don't remember) spilled a white Russian in/on it. Just don't make these things durable.... Would never happen to a typewriter. Pricing Notebooks, now - had one last year from Best Buy after leaving old laptop one on top of car (Think Lew and his wallet) leaving Hooters. Like 9hr battery life and easy to carry. (Returned it when it froze up and I got home to Balt.)
  4. Lew has the "want to" Buck talks about, Hustles, can steal a base, and fill in OF. If he can "be ready" in a back-up role (a learning experience), I put him on OD roster (w/Steve Johnson - another "want to" guy.) Youngsters go to minors and "earn their way" here. If you have to dump/ship them both out in May, June... to make way for the next Manny or Gausman/Bundy.... So what? Saved a year of arbitration, and made kids "earn position." Steve J. and Lew have shown the "Oriole way" of old. That kind of stuff stays around and is contageous.... Sorry if dome folks disagree! (Not really)
  5. Perfect analogy - Al Bumbry, Curt Moton, Curt Blefrey, Joey O, Note McLouth, Travis Driscoll, Rod Lopez, Dave Johnson, and Steve Johnson to name a few bring a lot to the table when it comes to "pieces to puzzle," clubhouse chemistry, and "want to." And they know their place and how to stay ready..... and they're "cheap" so you have money to spend on others, or slots for Minor Leagers to fill/try out (Think Manny and X)
  6. Phooooey on your "want". Great role model for young guys - and can steal, play all 3 OF positions. Character!
