"We are not the New York Yankees. We are not New York..." (Winter Meetings Thread)

[weams]

When Peter said this the other day, I really passed it by as a throw away line.

In reflection, I do feel a much stronger move to the reload not rebuild model.

On the Eve of the Winter Meetings, Who do you expect Dan to trade.

Not a poll, but what prospects, and 25 man rosters do you expect to be moved in trades this week?

It's easy to sit here and proclaim "no one is worth that kind of money," but the owners are the billionaires and they're swimming in profits. Would you rather them pocket the money or put it back in the on-field product? Think about it. They have the money. It's either going to be the owner's dough or the players.

Patton or Matusz to be traded seems pretty likely. If the Orioles sign another reliever, I would not be shocked to see Hunter get dealt. As far as prospects go, I will be surprised to see anyone from the top 10 dealt. Fringe guys like Belfiore and Chris Jones. A Bridwell or Davies could get dealt and maybe someone as high as Mike Wright. As far as blockbusters, I don't see it. I think Hardy, Wieters, and Davis will all be Orioles headed into ST.

What could Hunter bring back?

All the big name catchers are gone. Is there anyone who needs one?

I would like to see Wieters moved, but like RZNJ said, I don't see a contending team desperate for a catcher. He's not going to go to a non-contender.

Do we match up with Seattle in any way? It looks like they are all in and perhaps ready to do something (else) stupid.

[Tx Oriole]

No one desperate for one that I can see.

The O's will be desperate for one if the trade Matt. As for the Winter Meetings I

really see any big time moves. IMO

I hope for that.
