This could be a big week for the O's acquisitions

[Orange_Crush]

It's Friday...and nothings happened. Oh well arleast theres other things going on to keep busy. No new shiny toys this XMAS! Same as usual.

[Brendan25]

Britton, Matusz, and arrietta? Neither belong in the minors IMO.

All 3 do to start the year. In my opinion.

I agree...well thats if they are sold on Matusz trying to be a starter again, he was decent in the bullpen and if they left him there it wouldn't be the worst thing.

I would leave Matuz in the pen, but what did Britton or Arrieta do to deserve to be in the starting rotation at this point? What I wouldn't do if I were the O's is spend a ton on the pen. I would let these arms sort everything out in ST, but I would target a quality LF/1B type that had a high OBP history and try to bring a guy like Saunders back.

Still waiting for that big week.

Still waiting for that big week.

So am I.

LaRoche has great patiences and looks like he could wait out the Nats for quite a while.

Saunders may have been pushed in the next group of pitchers to be sign at lower prices instead of being in the Liriano/Blanton group. That may take a while to sort out.

My hopefulness for immediate action has been foiled for the moment.

I reallhy don't care when the moves happen, so long as the moves are good.

"Good morning, Pooh Bear," said Eeyore gloomily. "If it is a good morning. Which I doubt,"

"That Accounts for a Good Deal," said Eeyore gloomily. "It Explains Everything. No Wonder."

"You must have left it somewhere," said Winnie the Pooh.

"Somebody must have taken it," said Eeyore. "How Like Them," he added, after a long silence.

Yes, but, uh, well, um...., I saw weams' avatar and forgot what I was going to say. Nevermind.

I am with you on that. I am quite sure DD is not finished making some deals. IMO

This. Don't mean to take shots at a lot of posters here (but I am anyways...) but people need to relax. Patience. It IS still 2012, if only for hours now.

[OsHon]

The longer it takes the better it is for the Orioles. Must be patient

They did nothing, thats why I think they will be in the minors. In that starting rotation.
