  1. He is a very low risk move and I agree. At best, he is a good catcher in the system, probably ST depth and maybe AAA. To make the leap that he was signed to be the heir to the backup catcher position, is a bit of a stretch for me.
  2. 2 time loser for violating drug rules. 1 strike away from extended break from ball.
  3. Figures, when I stop following professional football, my former team decides to play better than the rest of their division, go figure. Skins are in first with losing record, and should be in the playoffs. Ravens are on the bubble with a strong winning record.
  4. It has to do with OH taking a day off and when it came back the forums wasnt showing up for me until I ask why, think Tony has to flip a switch. Nobody is really posting there, not even in the Raven's category. I asked Weams permission to change my posting name, back in 2018, but never followed up on, as Atomic started complaining about how offensive it was, and I wasnt going to let him dictate my posting name.
  5. Good post, and I have no objections. Amazing how some posters feel there should be standards before putting somebody in the organization Hall of Fame. Its a feel good thing for the fans and a little love back to the player. How wrong is that?
  6. You really believe that? At best, he is catcher depth in the minors. maybe a short visit to the parent club for short term IR backup.
  7. Amen there. Is there a Ken Griffey third somewhere? I remember both his daddy and then son playing. LOL
  8. PA was tight when he came to pitchers, he chased Mussina out of town, by not paying market value. Just because PAG spent money, did he spent it wisely.
  9. agree to disagree Im not ready to paint the sons, with the same brush that Peter is painted with. You will never get an argument from me about how bad PAG is. You also should see the differences in this team, with the sons being in charge. Im glad you think the world of Theo. Im not that impressed, but again, thats just my own opinion. I want an owner, that is zealous with their love of the game, the team, the franchise and the team history. You will not get that with Theo. I want an owner that is going to sit in the owner's suite and attend the games.
  10. Here is a crucial key to remember here. Replacement sake for ownership, does not mean you get somebody better. What is Epstein's track record as owner? I would have concerns that somebody once a GM, would be a micro manager over a job that he used to do.
  11. If he was a constitutionalist, they don't even drive, they travel the roads lol.
  12. and Theo is the man to do the job?
  13. I didnt have an issue at the time, and I still do not have an issue. However, some posters never liked the trade and they still have to jab away at it. I would make the trade again, with a second thought.
  14. Knowledge + Power + Money = Total Absolute Corruption
  15. Miller to the Orioles was not a desperate trade, it kept him out of Detroit and was a legit arm in a solid pen that made he pen even better.
  16. Its called speculation and it happens all the time. I have a cousin who makes a seriously highly profitable living at it and spends a large amount of time on the Golf Course conducting his deals. There are times owners have not considered selling, until somebody likes him, knocks on their door, and says, I have a group that wants to buy your business, and the price is XXXXX. Sleep on it, and get back to me. When you wave 7 figures or more, it can motivate people into selling.
  17. I agree, just being my typical sarcastic self.
  18. My bad, thanks. Not know details of PA's will, we can only guess, in theory, he could give the boys the team, and the rest of the assets to the wife. I think some posters keep forgetting PA has a whole law firm of lawyers and there are legal ways to avoid taxes. Living trusts, etc. Of course, maybe a team cant be placed into a trust.
  19. Pitchers have been way overpaid for a few years now, just look at the FAs that have come through this team.
  20. Did Rip remarry? I think he has more money before his divorce than after.
