I hope so. SG who is your choice at SS for the O's? One the O's could have a chance of signng.

My vote is for Jason Donald even though some on here want him to switch positions. He's clearly blocked in Philly unless they move him to third. He loses his value there though.

I know who isn't my first choice(or 2nd or third or 4th or 5th....) and that is OCab, Furcal or Renteria.

I want a young SS like Wood, Hardy, Escobar, Cedeno, etc.....the same names we always discuss on here.

I think it has to be Furcal or a trade. The other FA options are lame. I would say I prefer a trade to Furcal because I'm sure he will get a substantial deal, especially with no draft picks attached.

If the price doesn't get obscene, I'd like to go after Furcal (no more than 2 years + an option). It's hard to say if his health will rebound fully but if it does he could really provide leadership and stability and he and BRob would make a fun combination up the middle and at the top of the lineup.

I honestly wouldn't be too upset about Adam Everett... although obviously he's not the offensive SS they're looking for.

1- Furcal (For 3 years or less)




697- Cabrera


763- Renteria

What's the case for Cedeno again? Is he anything more than a below-average stop gap player? The other three you mention are long-term solutions. Cedeno is a throw-in part of a more meaningful trade, IMO.

I still think trying to get Khalil Greene is the best way to go for this team. Some people have said Cabrera for Greene would work... I'd even throw in some $$$ to make it so.

I have the impression that Trembly's primary concern at SS is defense.

Trembley doesn't sign the paychecks. I also think if Trembley were as defense-obsessed as some seem to believe, he would have quit his job before sending Alex Cintron out there night after night for awhile.

I've mentioned this before, but I will be pleasantly shocked if Orlando Cabrera isn't our starting shortstop on OD of 2009.

I just have a feeling he's our guy.

[Black & Orange]

I have the impression that Trembly's primary concern at SS is defense.

After last season, the O's are geared more towards both an offensive and defensive minded shortstop... Trembley included.

We've already got Juan Castro.
