O's have made final offer to vlad

[Hank Scorpio]

I think it's pretty obvious that he really doesn't want to play here. If he did, he would be signed by this point. Simple as that.

I honestly think Vlad views playing for the Orioles as an absolute last resort.

I hope he says that in his press conference. That'd be gold.

LOL:D

He had better run...............fast:mad:

In all seriousness, if Vlad does end up signing here for around 4-5 MM after this long holdout, it's going to be at least a little awkward for a bit.

[RVAbird]

Yeah, for about 2 minutes. Everyone will be happy and Vlad will say the right things about how he's happy to be here.

Hah, yeah. I'm sure.

I agree with you. I can't believe anybody wants Vlad here more than I do. However, I just don't see the big deal about this. Negotiations drag all the time. I just hope it works out in the end and he signs here. Once they are Orioles I want them to give their blood sweat and tears for the organization. Until they are Orioles I understand it is business.

Vlad won't be an Oriole so we can stop with all the talk, he's not coming here. It's time to throw in the towel, it's over.

What do you mean by this?

Enough. Please stop posting this over and over in every thread. We get it.

I won't stop until you guys start to grasp reality, when he doesn't sign here I'll say my "I told you so" and move on.

I bet you won't get that opportunity.

Where is this hostile attitude coming from, exactly? Why are you so worked up?

Uh, Paul is one of the mods, so you best do what he asks.

Judging by the quality of your posts on this site, I have a feeling that you will not be able to say I told you so very often.

I think its 60-40 that Vlad comes here at this point.

I think he's trying to do a reverse jinx. That said, it does get a little tiring after awhile.
