Garza just got scratched from tonights game

[Rene88]

I agree that he can help RZNJ, but that is a wildcard. I really thing we need a proven reliever, not question marks. We need a setup guy to replace Strop if Hunter continues to disappoint.

I think Gausman is the only internal option that could possibly fill the need. However, why risk it? A reliever won't be that costly and hopefully is a piece that could help us next year as well.

Barely dodged that bullet. Thought for sure this was going down Fri night and we'd have to face him Sat or Sun. Now the Skanks get to face him

The Cubs ought to thank the Orioles for convincing Texas that they needed Garza.

[slakattack]

If they got Ortiz. It should be a pretty nice haul for just a rental. Not a top of a rotation guy. A nice pitcher.

I gotta ask...what happened to your babe of the day avatars?

Nolan Ryan was just talking on BSPN Dallas radio and unless he is lying it has not happened yet. Yet, various sources say its done. I would go with Nolan's comments.

[Ripken]

Yeah, Tex is likely in panic mode after that three game whooping.

Chicago will have a great 'potential' lineup. Curious how it will turn out...

So, what players in the O's organization are comparable to the players supposedly going to the Cubs?

Olt = ?

Grimm = Arrieta

Edwards = Rodriguez

Does that seem about right? I don't think we have anyone that compares to Olt.

Killed by Google Adsense it sounds like.

So what would be a comparable offer from us. Do we have anything or enough to have come close to this deal? I don't think Schoop and E Rod compare to Olt and Edwards.

That is not a good comparison at all.

Winning streak with this one.

Schoop has a higher upside than Olt, IMO. Rodriquez and Edwards are similar.

Not even close. Mine were pretty clean . And I did not post on that thread.

The scouting report said Grimm had the potential to be a mid-rotation starter. Hasn't that been what Arrieta's potential has been for all these years. Grimm is 24 and Arrieta is 26.
