Orioles/ Mets talking Ike Davis

[weams]

I like this idea a lot. I wonder if they are even considering him.

Doesn't Hammel want 4/40?

He did, I think his price has probably come down a bit by now. He certainly won't take 1/5 unless he is still looking for work when spring training starts.

Burnett

Chen

Tillman

Arroyo

Norris

Make Miguel Gonzalez a closer. He has the mentality to be a closer.

Hahahaha. You kill me. Funny man. I am sure we both want 4/40m unless you are holding out for more.

Not a bad idea if the O's didn't need him to start.

No way would I put Bud "Lefties kill me" Norris in the rotation over Gonzalez.

Since its unlikely the Orioles sign one of Burnett/Arroyo, much less both I doubt that's something we need to worry about. The first four spots will include both Gonzalez and Norris.

That does seem likely at this point. I'd still like to hold out some hope for Burnett.

It is kinda funny. Trading for Davis (a low cost DH option) for pitching (i.e Brttion) does open up issues with the SP. So they are interrelated. I'm not sure about Brian Roberts though.

Seems to be another smoke but no fire rumor. It's been the motto of the winter.

Another deal I am happy was not made.

He is barely impressive when healthy.

I thought I posted in the wrong thread and then off we went; Tony S got it straightened out though.
