I want to know who won the wiffleball game:)

[JTrea81]

Duquette seems like a guy you'd want to have a beer with...

He's got lot of history in the game and interaction with former Orioles players and management

[The Rick]

International Scouting will build you a championship team.

Also loves OBP.

I am glad he went out all out with the notepad:) Geesh! Not the best public speaker, but that doesn't mean much. AM was a great public speaker and clipped coupons to sign free agents.

I want to hear questions from the press.

[Orioles4Life21]

I like him. Obviously we need to see what he does, but right now he seems like a good baseball guy.

[Remember The Alomar]

Not the greatest public speaker, but his message is sound. Really emphasized OBP and player development. Seems amiable.

[nevadaO]

"Player development fundamentals..."

[canonfaz]

Not the greatest speaker, but I love what he is saying.

[Coker]

I like that Britt asks real questions.

[Rene88]

Ha ha..Jen Royale asked about Growing the arms and buying the bats:) Love it!

He is stressing international scouting and signings (VERY good sign). He said you use your minor league system to get better pieces if need be.

The important thing is to sign a number of good pitchers and have a "functional" minor league system. Ha ha-nice.

[The Rick]

Seems brilliant in his plan.

Q. "Do you agree with buy the arms, grow the bats"

A. "It doesn't matter how we get the arms and bats, we just need them and it all starts with drafting and development"

Paraphrasing.

[Remember The Alomar]

This is going to be a strange off season. I have zero idea what's going to happen.

[MikeAD]

Interesting tie.

Should have gone orange sweater vest.

Very true.

Edit: Talking about budget now. "Have to work harder, and have to work smarter. Have to do a better job in scouting, and a better job in player development" "The team with the best farm system, has the best team year-in-and year out."
