Penn can't get his head on straight. Little things are always seeming to get in his way.

Side by side comparison, who has better overall raw ability...Liz or Penn? Who has the higher ceiling?

IMO Liz has better raw ability, Penn has a greater chance to hit his ceiling. I really think Penn could start to help in the MLB this year. Start him in Norfolk but bring him up when a pitcher gets hurt. He is effectively the 6th starter.

I like Liz better.

But, I don't have a crystal ball.

That is why it is so IMPORTANT to pick a clear direction: either rebuild or contend.

You can't do both.

Because you never know which prospects will make it and which ones won't- we shouldn't be trying to guess.

Instead we should be stockpiling as many as possible to increase our chances of developing good players. Let the law of averages work in our favor.

You can buy and sell.

You never answered...If DCab and Reimold get you Bay, do you make the trade?

Bay is a fine player. And so is D.Marte.

Although I am a tad concerned about how bad Bay's season was last year. It was a big drop off in OPS and in BB's. He is also a late bloomer and is only 2 years from FA.

If I was a contending team I would be all over both of them.

I just want to see the Orioles go in a clear rebuilding mode. Trading away Reimold and others to acquire these guys makes no sense for this team at this time.

Why Reimold? Isn't he one of our top prospects?

Oh yeah? Name all of them. Now.

Yankees....Abreu, Damon, Matsui, and Melky

Boston....Manny, Coco/Ellsbury, Drew

Toranto....Rios/Wells/Lind/Johnson

Clevelend....Seizmore/Gutierezz/Michaels

Detriot...Thames/Granderson/Ordonez/Maybin

Twins....Have a need

WhiteSOx....Dye/Fields/Owens

Angels...Vlad/Anderson/Rivera/Matthews Jr

Seattle...Jones/Ichro/Ibanez

Oakland...Could see them in on Bay....Buck/Kotsay/Swisher

National League is hard to tell who is an actually contender or not. I would guess the Braves, Phillies, and San Diego could be in on him

Every one of those teams could use Bay.

Every one of those teams has at least 1 OF (some have 2) that are not secure.

Every contender you listed is probably looking to upgrade an OF spot (or DH).

Damon and Melky could be dealt...Abreu moved to first or DH.
Boston....Manny, Coco/Ellsbury, Drew
They are set unless they decide to trade Manny.
Toranto....Rios/Wells/Lind/Johnson
Bay is better than Lind/Johnson.
Clevelend....Seizmore/Gutierezz/Michaels
Michaels? Are you serious? Bay could really help out Cleveland.
Detriot...Thames/Granderson/Ordonez/Maybin
Thames played DH and first a lot last year.
WhiteSOx....Dye/Fields/Owens
Fields is a third baseman.
Seattle...Jones/Ichro/Ibanez
Ibanez may move to first.
