Explain what?

We do not know if those funds will be made available in the future.

Or it doesn't. We don't know.

I don't think I am. I think a league average pitcher making reasonable money with two years of team control is worth more to a pitching hungry team than the O's received.

Or Elias' ability to negotiate. /shrug.

He's available and he's an upgrade over Davis. We in on him? He's got a 69 OPS+ on the year, nice.

I don't like a fair number of the trades but I don't see how you can't be on board for the Castro return.

I think it would be more dignified if he didn't come back.

Four.

Elias probably remembers the pivotal role Davis played in the 2014 playoff run and figured the team needed some veteran leadership.

I don't think the other team will let him hit off a tee.

Not like they sent Mountcastle down for him. Whoo boy that would have been something.

As Mr Lewis said, cool is a rule but sometimes bad is bad.

Do you consider average good? I consider average, average. Good is better than average.

But 4.34 out of the pen isn't good either.

Oh no, he had a tough to deal with owner! He still should have impressed upon him that a different allocation of the same resources would lead to a superior result. And to not sign Davis to that contact.

That was random, unproven and irrelevant. To some degree the Orioles failures on those fronts during his tenure fall on him. Part of his job was convincing ownership to spend money efficiently. He wasn't the fry guy at Wendy's.

Shouldn't he have been able to fight for that? That's part of the job right?

Stupid devious is the most annoying kind of devious.

In 12 and a third innings? He was pretty horrid last season over 54.

Dan traded Kevin.

I'll disagree on the leverage point. Unless of course the Angels somehow knew no other team had interest. The Angels pretty clearly needed pitching to support all the money they are paying the hitters.

Sorry, should have been using the green font for that one. My apologies.

I'm sure Elias saw something that he can fix.

Are you telling me you've been on the internet this long and haven't mastered the art of having an opinion without relying on data?
