It's time to shut up, reporters. I don't want to hear about "interest" anymore. Report something when the Orioles actually acquire a player or else find out what's up with JJ Hardy's favorite flavor of ice cream or something.

Orioles are "Always" interested. Talk is cheap. They need more action at this point.

My guess - if the O's sign Morales it will be a one-year deal at a low price and include a provision that we not make him a QO at the end of the season.

[Three Run Homer]

I don't care how cheap the price is, it can't be a good idea to give up a draft pick to sign a player for a one-year contract, unless that player is Barry Bonds in his prime.

No team is gonna give up a pick for 1 year of the player.

In all likelihood, the O's are only circling Morales for the same reason they circled Burnett - they're under the impression that they might be able to get him on the cheap, since so many other organizations have moved on from him.

Like Burnett, another team will almost certainly swoop in and steal him away shortly.

I would hope not. I think the offseason is beginning to get to me.

I couldn't agree more.

They'd be insane to give up a pick for a one year deal.

They'd be insane to give up a pick for a one year deal.

If I was one player away from a solid WS team, then you pull the trigger, otherwise, keep the pick in the pocket.

[El Gordo]

Whoever signs him will get him cheap unless they wait until June.

Are we? Which team did you have in mind?

[Redskins Rick]

Are we? Which team did you have in mind?

No, you know this team isn't.

What team is, I have no clue, hard enough to keep up with one team, much less 29 others.

I wouldn't deal a CP as a GM, unless I was that sure, that was my missing link to a solid WS team.

At this point, the O's should sign Yoon and carry their extra money into the season. Sign one of Santana, Jimenez, Morales, or Cruz in June if they haven't signed yet.
