Heyman: O's could sign Crisp soon (Update: Crisp signs with A's)

[Roll Tide]

This is really missing the point of the thread.

No really ...i get the point ...as I've said I'd be happy with Angle until Cepedes is ready .... If it meant getting 2 of the Braves top pitching prospects.

This thread is proof that baseball diehards struggle through the winter

Crisp's Twitter picture is of him in an O's uniform as a child...

So, to the legends of being "Spotted at Ruth's Chris" and "Sitting in a Skybox at a Ravens Game," we can now add "The Twitter Pic Wearing a Little League O's Uniform." Quick, someone research the names of the teams Fielder played for as a kid.

Crisp makes more sense than Angle.

The thread is long because of the implications of maybe dealing Jones, not because we might sign Crisp.

Coco Crisp is signing with Oakland, for a $6m salary in 2012, a $7m salary in '13, a club option of $7.5m for '14, with a $1 m. buyout.

wow 2 years and a club option at 13 mil seems kind of high.

[JTrea81]

Time to lock this one down...

According to Olney the club option is for $7.5 mil. I think the "13" you read is the year, as in 2013.

EDIT: Or I maybe I misunderstood the way your sentence is worded?

I wonder if Mr. Crisp wasn't having a little fun with his Twitter account. Either way, I'm happy we didn't commit that kind of money to Coco, though he should be worth his salary.

No wonder we did not get him. That is insane.

[Birds of B'more]

At least for a team in the O's situation it is....and frankly it seems insane for the A's as well.

I am suddenly thrilled with Jai Miller.

Yeah should have said 2 years and a club option, 13 mil seems kinda high for his services.

That is what you can keep saying as other teams sign legitimate major league players and we sign post prospect minor leaguers.
