Rosenthal says deal done Jimenez (4/$50M - Official)

[baltfan]

I worry that he will struggle against patient teams like Boston and NY..

I had a good time reading this thread. Reading it proves you cannot please everyone all of the time. I love this move. It gives the O's a solid #2 behind Tillman.

[Hank Scorpio]

Seems like the dollars are right. I preferred him to Santana.

I worry that he will be the 2012 version, who would have struggled in the International league.

This is great for Bal-timore morale. And how do you spell morale? Add an "s". I wouldn't normally respond with such drivel but I have consumed an entire bottle of Chianti. I may open another.

Nothing goes better with liver and fava beans.

[BohKnowsBmore]

I can. I think we could see a pen look like this:

Hunter

O'Day

Webb

Matusz

Aceves

Britton

Johnson/Stinson/etc.

He may have Patton's suspension to prove he belongs.

Forgot about Yoon. He could take the long spot. Also, this assumes no injuries on the staff. If Britton pitches well, he'll have a spot.

We've got 4/5 righties for SP. I think Britton can definitely be a lefty in the bullpen and make the occasional spot start against a lefty-heavy lineup. Side-note, his splits aren't very dramatic, but still noticeable.

So many people afraid of their own shadow. What is there to be afraid of? I can assure you I will rest easier with Jimenez at the #2 slot over Britton in the #5 slot.

Could happen, of course, but his 2013 was pretty solid overall. I will take the 2013 version, please. Maybe the second half of 2013 version for both halves of 2014, please.

Salude, or whatever that word is. A great night for O's baseball in many ways.

Duquette signing Ubaldo $48 mill. Angelos reaction upon returning from the White House. Priceless.

[OsLuvrInKy]

With the number of pitchers this gives us, I would have to say Dan should have him some trade bait.

Salute in Italian. Cheers to you.

Yep, great move on many levels.
