I'd target Westburg first. He should be more amendable and affordable and might serve as a sign to his teammates that the O's are serious about keeping a core together for an extended run. -

Bradish is an excellent #2 with injury questions. Grayson has to show that he can be counted on to be a #1 or #2 over the course of a season and into the playoffs. Kremer is a solid #5 starter. Means has not been able to start and finish a season healthy. I would probably prefer a pitcher with a more reliable/available track record. Cheap shouldn’t even enter into the equation with a payroll this low and a team with this kind of potential/talent/aspirations. We will most likely need 2 starters in the rotation next year (if we do not resign Burnes who is a bonafide #1 IMO). I don’t think that we are going to “cheap” out way to a World Series. The competition is too good/talented AND historically speaking teams with low payrolls haven’t won a title all that often. In the last 20 years, HOU was lowest (their first WS title) with a payroll ranked 18. We have some work to do just to get that payroll output. -

Reading through a fairly entertaining thread, with a number of cool lists and strategies, I think for me, there is only one answer. Build it around Gunnar. We sure could get a boatload of bodies back in a trade, we could certainly keep working on developing more talent along the way — but as an ancient baseball fan — he sure is fun to watch. If I’m David Rubenstein (and I’m definitely not, I think the man has lost more money under his couch cushions than I have in the bank), I let Elias know the budget can be adjusted to keep the kid around. -

Saves are about the stupidest thing to base reliever pay on. Ok you probably won't have your worst reliever pitching the 9th, but pitching the 9th w/ a 3 run lead is probably one of the easiest reliever jobs. -

I'm wondering if Gunnar would be interested in a 8 year/$250 mill extension. He would still hit free agency at 30. Also he could have the option of taking player option for 5 years/$200 mill if he had top 5 MVP finish in year 5-8 (is this kind of opion even legal by MLB rules?)
