Fine by me, rather spend our resources elsewhere.

I agree.

Breaking News: Orioles pick up Luke Scott off of trash heap

[video=youtube;AzURH-yOtKs]

[weams]

I believe he can improve.

I really think that there is something here.

[weams]

I am not interested in an enigma. I am married, I have enough enigmas in my life. If you acquire Cosart who will you remove from the rotation? What does it take to get him? EdRod + what?

I think that he works great for our future. Stuff is stuff. He could be useful.

MLBTR says Orioles not interested in Suzuki.

I'd been fine with going after him in the right deal had they not already gotten Hundley. But, unless they don't think Joseph will hold up over two months, there's absolutely no need for Suzuki, so I'm cool with it.

[TheDirtyBird]

Deliberately false info or calling former players trash will exclude a poster from this afternoon's festivities.

My mistake, unfamiliar with that rule.

[EagleOriole]

It's why I hate 2 month rentals.. if you don't win it all right now (highly unlikely for any team) you have yourself in a huge hole.

The Sam Fuld trade makes such little sense. They have a guy named Shane Peterson in AAA likely to give them a similar if not better result:

SAC PCL .318 108 434 77 138 31 3 8 72 199 50 111 11 2 .389 .459 .847

He does win the World Series and it was worth it - but these deals will be remembered for a long time if they don't at least play in the World Series.

[Rene88]

What would you give up for Price and Zobrist right now?

That be a filthy package.

[weams]

Plus, he has a spitball.

[MurphDogg]

That be a filthy package.

I'm not sure how the Rays would be able to justify it to their fan.

[EagleOriole]

I think that he works great for our future. Stuff is stuff. He could be useful.

So you are suggesting we trade for him and put him in AAA? We better be moving some arms in the off-season. Norris and MGon are going to be traded I would think.

Yeah, I'm baffled with that trade.

Np. That's why I just mentioned it. Thanks.

I agree.

only reason to be interested in Suzuki, was if Hundley was shipped out as part of a package.

Yeah. I like Cosart. I am not playing GM here. I just like the arm. Have for many years.
