WHAT IS A FULL SEASON IL? WILL THEY ALL BE OUT FOR THE SEASON?

I think that would be a good move for the O's, just not sure there will be a lot of demand for O'Hearn. Other teams won't want the same roster crunch we already have.

We need to make some trades. I would go so far as to say we should trade a guy like Stowers who is MLB ready for a couple of high end younger prospects.

If you have a kid who has a shot to be rookie of the year than you gotta put him not he OD roster. Especially if he's earned it, which Holliday has. These chances don't come around every year.

Can't have Holliday going to camp thinking he's a lock to the be LH hitting side of the 2B platoon.

I think this guy has a role with the O's for the foreseeable future. They need his RH bat in the OF.

The right thing to do woudl be to trade him. Get some 18-19 year old lotto picks and do the right thing for the kid.

I"m not sure there is a RH backup CF/OF role if Cowser and Krjstad both are ready to go.

best team in the AL

medium sized move - like to see a bit more RH power. Jorge Soler?

I won't be surprised to see Mayo at first eventually as the replacement for Mounty.

BTW, he obviously had a back log of strories that MASN would push out at 4am. He clearly wasn't up hitting send at that time. I imagine in the offseason he would write a handful of stories for 4-5 hours a few times a week, then relax.

shortest thread ever.

I think people are sleeping on Johnson. Looking forward to see how he's throwing this spring.

I'll start....I'd like to see one game where we roll out this lineup: Holliday - SS Rutchman - C Henderson - 3B Krjstad - RF Mayo - 1B Basillo - DH Cowser - LF Westburg - 2B Bradfield Jr. - CF And just for fun, Norby and Ortiz off the bench :-).

I'm totally fine not meeting their domands for Cease. If we are really willing to give up Holliday and other top prospects we should call the Yankees about Garrett Cole. Those packages they are talking should land any pitcher in baseball.

Anyone seen any photos of this new Academy?? Crazy they don't have more PR following the opening.

He's pitched more innings and demonstrated improvement every season. Just needs to continue the trend.

Disagree. Will take improvement but really only from a perspective of longevity. If he can give us 150 innings this year of what he did in the first 100 last year, that will be a very solid back end starter.

Thank God. Stroman would have been our 7th best starter.

As a fan I would be miserable watching this. So frustrating to watch.

Norby IMO

Maybe not that one but I do think marlins would expect some ML talent as they are trying to win now. They won't be interested in taking risks on Norby or even some of the higher prospects.

Can't set the bullpen until the rotation is done.

Wouldn't shock me if Elias views this as an incentive for Holiday to start next year with the O's. The value of an extra 1st round pick is huge.
