Unless your name is Britton.

Britton will have a job come the end of spring, it just might not be in the mid-atlantic region.

I can follow folks on Twitter too! Am I an insider?

Of course you are. You, El, Mikey, and Jen.

I have serious concerns about his stuff playing in MLB, let alone the AL East. I feel like big league hitters will lay off his breaking stuff and hammer his middling fastball. Then again, Chen somehow gets it done with basically 1 pitch, so who knows.

Who he was in 2011 will play in MLB.

Who he was in 2013 won't.

Who he was in 2012 might.

There is enough smoke around Burnett and Arroyo that I would be surprised if we don't end up with one or the other. I know- go ahead and LOL at me.

Not LOL'ing you, noodle. Just commiserating!

[mdbdotcom]

thank you. In other words, Red Lobster Rickli says source, as if it's his, when someone beat him to it on twitter.

Rickli's Believe It or Not.

Not.

The info is fine but GSI is the #source.

Of course they are. No one call him with Korean info. Come on.

[RVAbird]

Say what you want, already the most interesting thread in about 4 days around here.

GSI, a sports consulting firm that works with foreign born players, tweeted that information at 10:29 AM. Camden Depot retweed the info shortly after that. Rickli repackaged it claiming it came from a "source" 15 minutes later. This is why people say Rickli has no credibility. It's his M.O.

Who at GSI is the source?

Ha, he didn't even get it from GSI?

For the record Dan re-tweeted the GSI tweet which is how it ended up in my timeline.

As I just said as you were posting it, I got it from Dan.

[TonySoprano]

I'm aware of what people say and why. And I agree here that he is not the source. It's still fine for people to post his tweets, though. I wouldn't see a tweet by GSI, but I would from Rickli. At least he's pulling info from somewhere and not just making things up blindly.

The issue is he didn't give credit for pulling it from somewhere.

The issue is he didn't give credit for pulling it from somewhere.

Unless of course he has a different source.

:rofl:

This ain't so bad, especially considering our excellent defense and very good offense:

Rotation:

1. Burnett or Arroyo

2. Tillman

3. Chen

4. Gonzalez

5. Norris or Yoon

Pen:

1. Webb (my pick for closer due to his splits)

2. Hunter

3. O'Day

4. Matusz

5. Yoon or Norris

6. Britton/Patton

7. Cage Match Between: Brach/Stinson/Johnson/De La Cruz/Escalona/McFarland/Etc.

[LookitsPuck]

It'd be a fine signing if we already had Burnett or Arroyo. But if Duquette is planning on penciling him into the rotation without signing any other starters? I'd say that is a big mistake.

[Orioles0615]

Hurray Wada II, can we sign a real pitcher please? This better not be the "starter" DD wanted.
