Rosenthal: Nats Interested in Balfour

Hmm... sounds like Drew Storen could be a trade candidate out of there. I think he'd be a great addition to the Orioles' pen, but I don't have a good idea of what he would cost in a trade.

Right now? He would cost 70 million anyear in MASNCASHMONEY

Sure, though I never really had a problem with the physical examination part of it versus those efforts by some condemning the professionals willing to speak on Balfour's behalf. Though so far the team has rebounded poorly from the Balfour fiasco though there is time remaining to make a nice move or two.

I don't care how Balfour turns out, whether the O's docs were right or wrong. Those two docs should NOT be shooting off their mouths in public. Just really unprofessional imo.

Weird. Posted that in O's Talk and read it in MLB.

Hardballtalk thinks Balfour will be slotted into the 7th inning. I don't think the Nats are paying 2/15 for that.

Then again they are still reporting it was a knee/wrist issue.

I am one of the extreme condemners. I think it was inappropriate for any physicians to speak on this. Unless they were just posting on a message board. Then I would welcome the discourse.
