Last-minute attempt by O's to sign ace holding up trade

[OsLuvrInKy]

Say what you want, this is way better than watching TV.

I so agree with this statement. When observing the dealings of the Orioles front office we come across decissions and directions that a sitcom writer could not dream up

What health issue?

Apparently after agreeing in principle to the deal, the Orioles heard something about Jones having a potential health problem -- a degenerative hip (osteoarthritis) similar to the ailment that ended Albert Belle's career in 2000, just two years into the five-year, $65 million contract he signed with the Orioles.

The medical report on Jones was unsubstantiated and Mariners trainer Rick Griffin told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer on Tuesday that he couldn't talk about the situation because of Hippa regulations. General manager Bill Bavasi said: "All I can tell you is that we brought Adam Jones home from Venezuela. Beyond that, we're not saying anything." From the MLB.com article.

For those of you who haven't checked out the other thread, Belkast is saying this is a bunch of bologna.

Can't anybody here resist the urge to jump to conclusions after every single new tiny bit of speculation is published? Or does this website double as a bi-polar hangout?

Seriously?

How does this REMOTELY help us in negotiations?

Seriously.

Go back and read some of the public coments made by Bavasi. He is on the hot seat to produce THIS year. Or he just may not be here next year. He has publicly stated that they need a front of the rotation pitcher to accomplish this. Where else is he going to fine that RARE ANIMAL at now other than Erik.

Now that being said we are having a very hard time driving up the offer to whatever Andy thinks is reasonable. No other bidders. Well thanks to Andy's thinking we have competition. Enter stage left none other than PGA himself. Now Bavasi is bidding against PGA to save his job.

All of you out there who have posted you would not want to play poker or chess with Andy, you are sooooooooooooooooooooooooo RIGHT!!

You all have been saying roller coaster. People from what I have been observing, the roller coaster is just getting warmed up.

I thought Angelos would never give a pitcher $10 million dollars a year.

[BaltimoreTerp]

Told you SG..... Wonder if this is what the text I received ment?????

When did you tell us you received a text?

[BaltimoreTerp]

I thought Angelos would never give a pitch $10 million dollars a year.

1. The QUOTE was that we wouldn't give a pitcher $15 million a year. Big difference.

2. Since this isn't going to result in anything other then a trade, it doesn't matter.

Could be...Could also be why Roch is saying nothing is imminent to his knowledge.
