Rick_Schu Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Congrats to Steve! It feels good to see journeymen get paid, that's probably a life-changing paycheck for his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24fps Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Looks like they met in the middle. Good deal for Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can_of_corn Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Britton. Most likely candidate left. Not much of a gulf but with a super 2 every dollar counts twice. Buck should have used the two run save rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much of a gulf but with a super 2 every dollar counts twice.Buck should have used the two run save rule. I know Buck is Teflon and all, but he would still take some crap if someone other than Britton blew a three run save when Britton has an ERA well under two. I completely agree that it is the right move, but I'm not sure that Buck would make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree that it is the right move, but I'm not sure that Buck would make it. He just would have spouted some nonsense about not believing in the save rule. And yes, it is obvious that Buck won't do it (neither will any other current manager). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwardsk Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Outstanding for Pearce. Thought this was the one that would have gone to arbitration. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, it is obvious that Buck won't do it (neither will any other current manager). I wish managers made more sensible decisions but as long as there are talking heads to rile up the masses, stasis will dominate. Britton pitched three consecutive twice last year. The first time he blew a one-run save, 1 of his 4 blown saves on the year. The second time, he converted a three run save. I wonder whether Buck considered having Tommy Hunter slam the door in that July 3rd game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurphDogg Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Well it wasn't Pearce.Who won't settle? Roch thinks it will be De Aza. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>De Aza, 1 of the 3 unsigned, submitted $5.650 million and <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/orioles?src=hash">#orioles</a> countered at $5 million.
