HHP: Reporting from Fanfest

Who's doing the projecting?

Me (and I guess others like Weams said). It's really just a matter of having the time on your hands to go through all the details.

Weams has it in this article on the front page.

I told Dan (and the crowd) that you did the calculation. He gave no indication that it was inacurate.

Frobby: maybe I misunderstood. But I don't think so. I understood his response to be that he could spend 100 million.

I wouldn't read too much into a non response.

Dan Duquette just told me that he had been allocated resources beyond 100 million dollars if needed.

I suspected that this was the case. Otherwise, why would we have talked to Swisher or discussed trades for Upton and Dickey? The money is there if DD sees something he wants to spend it on.

McLouth on getting carried around by Chris Davis: if you look closely, one of his hands is grabbing my butt.

Angel: Do we really want to be discussing this?

McLouth: Yeah, I guess that's for a different forum.

On the foul call on the near homer in Game 5 of the playoffs: "I've watched it a lot and, unfortunately, I think they got it right.....but I still count it in my mind!

Well if it'd true we are at 91 M after arb, then the 7.5 M we would have payed Reynolds is what we would have to spend.

Not necessarily. He said "beyond $100 million." If we had traded for Upton or signed Swisher, and signed Saunders, it would be around $110 million. Saunders will probably cost $7 or 8 million, and that would put us just shy of $100 million. Butler or Willingham would've probably done the same.

This is great stuff, BTW, guys. Your reporting for us losers stuck at home is much appreciated.

[weams]

To clarify. Dan never gave an actual number. I gave the number and he did not wave me off. He did state that he had all the resources that he needed to make this team competetive in the AL East.

Matt Wieters said his first meeting with Earl went like this. "You are getting better, your bat speed is coming around."

[Frobby]

Woman starts a question for JJ: "My boss is a big Boston fan..."

JJ interrupts: "Quit your job!"

[Frobby]

Woman asks Jones if he is going up to Boston tonight and tomorrow for the Ravens game. "I'm going tomorrow, not tonight. I can't be around New England fans that long!"

[Roll Tide]

Dan Duquette just told me that he had been allocated resources beyond 100 million dollars if needed.

Sorry but I don't believe it. He basically cut Reynolds and didn't come up with a replacement. And he wants us to believe the team is better itch his scrap heap additions.

So why nothing but dumpster diving. I'm not fooled!
