If Pearce was outrighted, that means he already cleared waivers. He can elect free agency, but he would forfeit his contract with the Orioles that he agreed to to avoid arbitration.

It would appear a move is imminent if they are clearing space.

That is why the O's agreed to a 700k contract. So he would accept the outrighting. They did the same thing with Eveland last year.

This could just be a coincidence, and there may have been nothing to it to begin with, but a guy I know was at Rocco's in Little Italy for lunch yesterday, and he said that Peter Angelos, Buck Showalter, and somebody who looked like a player were at the next table. He had no idea who the player might have been, though. For all I know, it might have been Mike Bordick.

I love stuff like this. I know there is nothing to see here folks, but it adds a bit of intrigue into the offseason.

C'mon, you got to give us more detail than that. No info on hair or skin color? Was he average, skinny, or short and chubby (Swisher)? Did he look native american (lohse)?

Gotta be for our boy big Joe Saunders!! Welcome back Joe!

Hopefully he took a home town discount.

It could be anyone at this point... Twins have had interest with Saunders so I would not say anything about a discount.

We also have been linked to Lohse and Procello and IMO are better options then Saunders

Lohse costs a pick. Porcello costs players. Saunders costs money, and nothing else. Plus, he's a local guy that grew up an O's fan.

Saunders, please.

If he looked like a baseball player, I say Lindstrom. I havent seen him in town yet this holiday season and I usually do. I have been waiting too, because I am interested to see who he has been talking to. I should know this weekend if he is home for Christmas.

Saunders is getting close (my guess).

I really hope not - The last this that this team needs to invest in is a mediocre SP. I know he did well for us down the strtech but I doubt he can put that typr of performance together an entire season. We have enough options for the rotation

It would have been Brady I would think. It is a monthly event.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.

      emmett16 is right. Uppercut swings produce a lot of groundouts because the bat is not on the same plane as the ball for very long. The best swing stays on the same plane as the ball for a longer time. This will produce contact that creates backspin on the ball which makes it carry. That Ted Williams book is one of the best hitting books ever written.
