Nice. I'm good with it. Gutsy to go 4 years but there's definitely upside.

Get him in camp and let's get down to business.

I think the O's payroll is around $83-85 million right now. So, anywhere from $5 to $7 million over.

Now add Morales and give up the #2 pick and we have a real contendah. Even Duquette acknowledged it's "easier" to give up the #2 pick for someone like Morales once you are willing to give up the number 1
