Seeing why the Dodgers would want to have rotation depth in Arroyo is easy...

Seeing why Arroyo would CHOOSE to sign with them knowing he wouldn't be guaranteed a spot is more puzzling.

I agree... which is why I think Le- BronSon is coming to us to go forth with Buck and his fellow nuggets to do battle with the dark forces of the AL East.

I can't see spending 3/36m on Arroyo. Not even 2/24m. I have a problem with the second year at that rate.

I like Burnett or Maholm on a one year contract better.

The O's have Markakis, Jones and Davis over 10M in 2014. They seem willing to add a starter over 10M. Thats four players over 10m.

However in 2015 they will probably have Jones, Davis, Hardy and Wieters over 10M. I don't know that they will support an old pitcher at over 10m in 2015 or 2016.

I have not given up on the O's signing Davis and Wieters long term. Not yet anyway.

Bronson Arroyo - S - Reds

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that Bronson Arroyo's representatives talked about their client with the Dodgers after they lost out on the Masahiro Tanaka bidding.

However, Heyman adds that it's "uncertain" how interested the Dodgers are. The market was at a standstill while everyone waited for Tanaka to make a decision, but now that that's over with some of the other pitcher dominoes should fall. Arroyo has drawn interest from the Angels, Orioles and Twins.

I guess we can kiss him goodbye if the Dodgers want him.

I think that it's a big "if." Don't they have enough decent 5th-starter candidates?

      Kyle Stowers 2024

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      You've never really been a Stowers guy and have always put a huge emphasis on K-BB ratio. While I agree that K-BB ratio can be important, I believe you had misgivings with Mountcastle as he moved up the chain for the same reason. Stowers is always going to have a lot of miss, but he's not getting much regular playing time and pinch-hitting against relievers is not normally a time to work pitchers so I'm not surprised he's been more aggressive. I still think if Stowers was given 500 PAs he's going to hit 25-30 bombs and put up an OPS north of .780. And I think he's improved his defense enough that I would feel ok with him in LF in Camden Yards.

      I'm talking about the tone.  It's like they are gleeful that Cease is going through a rough patch.

      Kyle Stowers 2024

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Mullins is a guy that has very little chance of getting an extension or a large contract from anyone. He makes sense as a 4th outfielder type on a team with a right-handed hitting CF, something the Orioles won't have unless Jud Fabian just completely turns it on.  I have to imagine this will be Mullins last year with the Orioles, which should move Cowser into center opening up left field for Stowers next year.

      Interesting Article About Scott Boras and Orioles

      By interloper · Posted

      Boras says a lot of nothing. He always praises the organizations and says his players like it there because why wouldn't he? He's the type of guy where you can't read into anything he says because it's all BS. He's a politician.

      Coby Mayo 2024

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      It's a great question. I really don't think Stowers was as slow as his first spring speeds. He never seemed that slow in the minors so I was surprised by his original times. Now maybe he did do some speed training to help him improve, but I also think he may not have been 100% when he came up the first time.  But since this is Mayo's thread, I'd be very surprised if he's not activated today back to the Norfolk roster.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Verlander was a once in baseball history type of move. He was an August waiver trade. He had actually cleared waivers. Meaning not even one team just put in a general claim to just take on the rest of his deal. Not even an AL rival put in a claim just to block it ala the Padres with Randy Myers back in the day.
