Im hearing the reason that there is a hold up is Angelos. My source didnt say what he is doing, but its because Angelos is in the middle of things. Plus Jones is back in Phoenix. I guess he is waiting for a phone call. An Bedard has yet to take his physical. We thought he would over the weekend, but some reason he is still in Canada. Ill have more soon.

Take it with a grain of salt.

Yes, taken with a grain of salt. Thanks for the update.

Exactly... But I wouldn't hold my breath on having him and Sherrill fly back here again just for a press conference...

Now on the other hand, I could definately see Bedard having a press conference in Seattle... Just because it is such a high profile acquisition for them...

Just my opinion.

Exactly...which is probably why we had Jones come to Baltimore for his physical on Monday, but Bedard was still in Canada as of this morning....save his physical for last so he can go to Seattle (hopefully he did that today), take the physical (this evening or tomorrow mornign), get the results, and have a press conference. The Mariners are getting the superstar, they will defintiely have a press conference.

Honestly, if you really look at it closely, there is a logical explanation for everything EXCEPT the delay from last Sunday until last Friday or Saturday...it's like things went on hold then. AJ's 1/29 physical cancelled. Nothing happened all last week. Maybe it was Angelos. Maybe it was MacPhail. Maybe it was Seattle. Who knows. But since then it seems to be falling into place for a late Wed /early Thu announcement.

Sunday 1/27 -- we have the leak

SOMETHING makes everything grind to a halt until Friday or Saturday

Saturday 2/2 -- rumors start heating up again but with it being Super Bowl weekend nothing will happen until Monday

Monday 2/4 -- all reports are that Jones and Sherrill had their physicals

Tuesday 2/5 -- newspapers in Baltimore and Seattle report that EB is "on his way" to Seattle for his physical

Wednesday 2/6 -- hopefully Bedard has and passes his physical

late Wednesday or early Thursday -- announcement

There is nothing going on now to drag things out...this is all routine. The 5 day gap last week where nothing happened is why this trade took so long. I wonder if we'll ever find out the "inside story".

      Basallo for Miller y/n?

      I think we can get that help and win a world series without trading Basallo for it. Just because we don't consider it a problem now in May, doesn't mean it won't be.

      Yeah, I'd put Hays' shot of throwing him out from that distance at about 80%+. He was completely dead to rights on a decent throw, it's a shame he chucked it 100 feet away. Hopefully, it's something he can get better at. His throws to third seem okay, but his throws to home are pretty brutal.

      No doubt Westburg! It looks to me that Mayo’s place on this team next season will be in RF/DH.

      Defense is important to me. I remember the excruciating development of Mountcastle, where some people insisted his defense was fine, even though he looked awful everywhere but first, and that’s where he ended up. I don’t want the same thing with Mayo or anyone else, for that matter, so sure, I’d trade Mayo(btw, Would you rather have Mayo or Westburg at 3B?) The main point is that Miller is wasted on the As and they aren’t being responsible owners unless they turn him into as much Future Asset as possible. Most of the teams that Can trade for him don’t need him.

      Next year’s problems/dilemmas will come when they arrive. And we can address those things when the appropriate time comes. This season we are playing for a World Series and only have one weak spot on the team… high leverage, weapon at the back of the pen (closer).

      Exactly, the issue is not arm strength it's accuracy which was discussed in another thread-it's a problem.  I think Cowser has looked much better in the field this year and could be the long term answer in LF, he's so fluid for his size, I think the routes will improve but the arm.....When he is struggling at the plate it seems to affects his confidence/defense.  He's also struggling to advance runners.

      Oh okay, you mentioned back-to-back World Series. I think we could add other pitchers not named Miller that could help, and it wouldn't have to include Basallo. Burnes will more than likely not be returning. Means? Wells and Irvin? This isn't what we need right now? okay, so next year? Again, I feel using those type of players in a trade would be better using it for a starter.
