Adam LaRoche

Depends on who they have at second.

True. An aging Roberts will give up range, but is still plenty sure-handed. Average rating is my guess. But then again, relying on any aspect of Roberts' game is probably a fool's errand...

He hasn't been average since 2007.

I'm guessing it's Casilla for a plurality of starts. BRob, Flaherty and others will also get their chance on what's sure to be a merry go round at 2B.

Seems unlikely since they made a big deal about Davis being the 1B next year.

[DrinkinWithFermi]

I sure hope not. Waste of a draft pick.

[Br10n]

I would be very surprised if Davis is playing first base on OD. I can't believe they trust his D.

[Malike]

Don't trust her! She's like the 4th best source when it comes to the media people!

She has 17,841 followers. Ask Birdland if that enough for her to be legit. I honestly don't know how many followers you need to be considered legit.

They use different balls in the AL

I guess they do and the pitchers are slow

pitch.

[Say O!]

I am hoping that LaRoche resigns with WAS, Napoli finalizes his deal with BOS, and TEX agrees to terms with Swisher.

Then, Morse and Morales will be available in trade without many (any?) teams as dance partners. Better leverage for O's to potentially snake one of the two for a reliever.

I really don't like the idea of giving up a draft pick for a guy who is only here for 3 years, at ages 33-35.

This.

To me it is kind of a hard question. I don't like Davis because

of his defense and Adam may cost too much and a loss

of a draft pick. Oh well I guess I will trust DD to do the right

thing for the O's.

SMH, Yeah let's not trade a pick for someone that can come in and help right away.

I wouldn't let a draft pick stand in the way of being a playoff contender in two of the next three years, and I'd rather give up the draft pick than Tillman. As for the money... increasing the size of the fan base would recoup most of it, if not all. Seeing OPACY attendance hit 2.75 million would be a joy, because it would mean the O's are playing relevant baseball.
