Presser thread

[section18]

is there anyone on the current roster you consider an untouchable in a trade? Have you been told by anyone that any player is an untouchable?

[Dipper9]

You would prefer another target, a military target? Then name the system! I grow tired of asking this so it will be the last time: *Where* is the rebel base?

[Hank Scorpio]

Do you smell that?

[Jagwar]

Is it safe?

[Fan4Life]

Are you a Ravens fan?

[El Gordo]

How important do you feel an expanded presence in the international FA market is to the teams improvement? Would you be interested in a player like Cespedes?

[Aglets]

How much have you learned about the Orioles system in the past 4 or 5 days since you've been targeted for this GM position?

[speckle69]

What will your responsibilities be since it seems that final decisions will be out of your hands? Will you be comfortable enough in your new position where, even though you may work your butt off with several teams to make a great deal(deals) to improve the team, only to find out it would be voided because Pete or Buck didn't want that player(players) dealt? In other words, how do you feel about being a puppet?

[NCRaven]

What are your plans for filling vacant front office positions in scouting and player development? Have you considered internal candidates or are you primarily looking at people form outside the organization? When can we expect that?

Will you be holding organizational meetings to prepare for the GM meetings? If so, when and who will participate?

Do you believe this team can win soon? If so, will the Orioles be interested in high cost international options like Darvish or Cespedes for 2012? Free agents like Fielder or Buehrle?

If not, are you willing to trade away the few valuable veterans remaining on the roster (ie. Markakis, Jones, Hardy, Reynolds, Guthrie) to bring in high ceiling young talent?

[24fps]

I'd ask the same question I would have asked AM under the circumstances. "On what basis is your year-end bonus calculated"?

[Oriology]

Is it safe?

Is it secret?

[scottbbfm]

Tell me three things that have happened in MLB in the last 10 years.

[mcneck]

What are you NOT allowed to do?

Anyone have a link so we can watch or listen live?
