I've got a source that links me with Alessandra Ambrosio.

Thanks for the link, Conway12.

Don't believe a word of it, but I appreciate it anyway.

Yeah, neither do I. I could probably pull Morosi/Heyman/Rosenthal articles from the past 5 years linking the Orioles to the top free agent. For that matter, you could probably find articles for at least 10 teams being linked to the top free agent each year.

I don't even take note that the Orioles are being mentioned at all, its all irrelevant nonsense until the someone actually signs somebody.

I could see us being in on Cody Ross, but I think Hamilton is a bit of a pipe-dream.

I actually think this all sounds perfectly credible - especially the part about the bidding going well over the Orioles' budget. Unfortunately. I'm a big Hamilton fan - but not at 7 years and $175M.

Morosi didn't get the memo.

Ross is looking for 3/25. I suppose he might technically be worth that, but I'm just not crazy about him. Who knows, maybe the market for Hamilton will be stagnant and we just go ahead and take a risk.

I don't like Ross at all. Another #6 hitter. I'd rather have McLouth. Now Hamilton is a different story. I would love to get him on a 5 year deal, especially if he doesn't get bid up.

You know you love Oriole Park Josh.. You can hit 60 HRs! You and Chris Davis.. haha

I love twitter..just saying. Get news so fast..love it.

Ross is a 32-year-old left fielder with a 107 OPS+, worth 3 rWAR over the last three years. Looking to be paid for 5 wins over his age 32-34 seasons. I'd rather have Nate McLouth. And Nolan Reimold. Who will be paid maybe 1/3rd of that, and who won't be locked in for multiple years.

I hope your right because I'd much rather have Hamilton at 5/$125 than Ross at 3/$25.

Yeah, I'd rather go with Mclouth as well. Hamilton at 5/100 would work though.

No thanks on Ross. His production is nothing special...and a lifetime .326 OBP isn't an "improvement" to a McLouth/Reimold platoon.

Hamilton would be interesting...but no more than 4 years...and I would prefer 3.
