Didn't know this...Can't sign him then. Good point WC.

The Sun article said the O's would be top 3 if they were interested and that the Phillies couldn't sign him until after something like May. Isn't that the case when a player isn't offered arbitration? Wouldn't he not cost a draft pick anymore??

He couldnt be offered arbitration because he was released. So there would be no draft pick compensation.

Don't the Phils have a young 2b that's blocked by Utley that we could trade Mora for? Talking about killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

I would be great but its like McPhail said - we want good players we'll figure out where they are going to play later. If he's that good they will find him a position to play.

Actually, this is wrong.

He was "released" by the Phillies. Because he doesnt have service time to become a free agent, he gets released when his contract ran up so he could be a FA.

Because he was released, no compensation is needed.

Crazysilver, you know this stuff really well. But do you have link on that one? I'd love to read it.

I understand that he does not have the service time, but where does it say that a FA without 6 years of service time does not require compensation?

      Mayo coming back from injury could have his debut in Baltimore delayed.

      Wasn't a huge fan of his swing for that last out today but coming in to pinch hit with 2 outs isn't easy.

      Interpreting Malike's comment that way is theoretically possible, but I didn't take it that way--didn't feel that shade was being thrown on me at all. But thanks for the concern.

      People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor.

      Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.

      Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.
