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

[weams]

Your twitter-fu is something to behold. I've apparently been too spendy with rep the past 24 hrs but this makes my day if true. I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a burger today.

It's the thing I like best about him.

[spneca]

This deal scares the bejesus out of me.

This. He was terrible in Cleveland until the second half of last year (where he was phenomenal). I don't feel good about this. Giving up a draft pick for him plus four years seems like a bad idea to me.

[skanar]

Same price as Garza + the pick.

I doubt this will work out well. It could, because Jimenez has real upside, but I doubt this will work out well.

Mlb mentioned the Indians getting the 17 pick and relinquishing a sandwhich pick. Does that pick come to us?

No. We get no pick. And The Indians do not get 17. They get a sandwich. 17 disappears.

This deal scares the bejesus out of me.

I am going out on the limb and say if this true this deal will work out better than the Brian Roberts extension.

[pdiddy]

Well, fine. I think I'm finally in the camp that is so depressed with our decision-making track record that I'll take any kind of change at this point.

If you keep low standards you're rarely disappointed! I'm on board...I'm ready to love this team again and start kicking some ass.

Jimenez and Morales would certainly turn this offseason around. Though for some reason I still think they end up with Nelson Cruz. Id rather have Morales if its like a 3/30 deal. Morales hitting behind Davis would be very nice.

If they sign Jimenez to this deal, that puts us at what, 90 - 95ish M probably (depening on the distribution of the money per season). Does that leave room for Morales?

[hendu]

I remember the Rockshow trading him because he became a head case over the Tulo deal. He was a top 5-10 pitcher before going to Cleveland. Hopefully it was just him taking a year and a half to finally get over not getting paid in Colorado.

Personally, I like it.

[LayzieDES]

It's the thing I like best about him.

Must spread rep...

[atomic]

Ha! I would rather have Santana but can't believe it, so why not? I'll shut a gold brick if he signs.

Exactly.

Go all in and sign morales too.

He would tear Camden yards up.

[Dark Helmet]

Most would deem that a successful offseason as well. That would be a pretty powerful lineup. But that would also put the O's at about $107 million.

Well, if they give Jimenez a 4 year dea that will put the myth the O's won't go over 3 years on a SP. Maybe the 100m cap is just a myth as well? And I think 107m for this team is very reasonable and very do-able. And imo would and could still leave them room at the trade deadpine to take on another 3-6m.

Now that is interesting. Hopefully repair some of the damage Balfour did.
