This is great. This sucks. All the best, @Luke-OH. You gave us all a lot to chew on. Hope your experience with the O's is everything you want it to be and more. Also, I think @Moose Milligan has some old Colby Rasmus gear for you.

They should each have to give their top two pitchers to the Orioles while continuing to be responsible for their contracts.

Bob "Rocky" Johnson, Woody Held, Tito Landrum, Hobie Landrith, Chuck Estrada, Clay Dalrymple, Chico Salmon, Sam Bowens, Russ Snyder ... the list goes on.

I'd rather go through as many guys as necessary to find one young guy with a future. W/L don't matter.

He's also a terrible example for the younger players on the team because he doesn't do his work and then he lies about it. I'd rather not have Mountcastle exposed to his influence.

Davis does nothing for me. I'd just as soon see Delmon Young as our fan ambassador.

Elias has said that he will be on the team in spring training, but has made no commitment beyond that. I predict that in spring training Chris Davis will demonstrate that he didn't do a lick of work in the offseason and the Orioles will pull the plug. He won't be on the team on opening day unless he has a spring training that is significantly better than the way he played the last two years.

He's no Julio Lugo, and that's great news!

So, we can cut Chris Davis now?

I thought fights between baseball personnel in Baltimore only happened at the bar at Cross Keys.

I don't think players win major league jobs in spring training under Elias. If Hays couldn't do it with the spring he had last year, it probably can't be done. Also, his .505 OPS in AFL might be an indication that he has some development work to do at AAA.

These should all be on Pail's bucket list

LF Jeff Stone - Finished that for you.

He doesn't project as someone worth that kind of commitment, so let him prove it first.

Looks to me like the WAR posted is historic, from 2019. I don't see any WAR posted under 2020.

Absinthe maketh the heart grow fonder. Pardon my lithp.

That's news to me. He always struck me as the defensive captain on the field.

One year closer to transitioning from tearing it down to building it up. The new years can't come soon enough.

If we're bringing back someone, I'd prefer Wieters. Stronger leader, better defender.

No, I wasn't saying that.

Thanks.

I just read what you wrote and found it highly objectifying of women. If I had a daughter and anyone spoke of her with language like that I would demand an apology, at the very least. I used to be able to just sit by, quietly, when people wrote or said things like that, but I can't do it anymore. It's disgusting.

Where did I say anything like that? A misogynist doesn't have to be a man.

Are you a misogynist by trade, or do you just play one on an internet forum?

A modern day Zen koan: the sound of one wing flapping.
