If the Dodgers really want Arroyo, that's where he'll wind up. They seem to have an unlimited amount of money.

The Dodgers' current rotation:

1. Kershaw

2. Greinke

3. Ryu

4. Haren

5. Beckett

If Arroyo does sign with LA, it will be under the assumption of starting in the bullpen and hoping for a spot to open up in the rotation. If he wants a place where a rotation spot is guaranteed, he'll sign in Baltimore.

Hmm. Beckett and Haren. Yeah.

Beckett would have to win the spot in a competition with Billingsley, but according to Rosenthal and Morosi, the Dodgers are interested in signing either Tanaka or Arroyo for their rotation.

I wonder if the Dodger would throw some cash into the mix on a Billingsley deal? He's not expected to pitch until sometime into the summer coming off of TJ surgery and is owed $12M in 2014 with a $15M 2015 option ($3 M buyout). Probably not something the O's would be interested in but just thinking out loud.

Agree with this. You know you are going to have injuries or tired arms during a season. I still think we need TWO starters.

Yes, yes and YES! Been saying that all offseason. In fact, I would be fine with no closer as long as we address the starting pitching head on. A #1 (yeah right) or #2/high 3 AND a back end guy that forces Norris/MGon to perform. MGon does much better in a 6-man rotation anyways.

      Orioles acquire Ryan O’Hearn

      Fantastic pickup by Elias and big kudos to O’Hearn for taking advantage of the resources to improve. He’s a great story.

      John Means 2024

      By Ohfan67 · Posted

      Given his injury history and what’s happening right now, Means may make more money as an Oriole next year than as a free agent. He may have to settle for league minimum as a FA but would do better than that in arbitration. Heck, unless he’s effective at least a little this year then the orioles might release him after the season to avoid paying more than league minimum. I hope Means recovers, very much so, but this scenario is possible imo.    ps. I guess I ignored the part where you said if Means thinks he is healthy.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.

      Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.

      He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.
