Trade Ubaldo please

Jimenez + Matusz + B prospect for a big bat?

If you take back a guy with 10 million owed, it is right in line.

Which means if you catch a team with deep pockets and a need a deal could be made.

Big Bat? Adam Dunn? Paul Konerko?

NO ONE is going to trade for Matusz. He is an obvious non-tender candidate. Why would a team be so high on him that they would trade for him then go to arbitration with him instead of just waiting for him to be a free agent?

Ubaldo is not that bad. The rest of our guys were just that good. It

s the AL guys.

I think it is human nature to first look to trade away players you don't want on the team in the first place.

You just have to ask yourself, why would another team want him?

A man can hope. NP.

I'm not happy trading Norris or Miggy. What if Ubaldo comes out looking like the first of last year. Luckily we had a sixth starter named Kevin Gausman What if there is another injury?

I think we couldn't use a 6 man rotation all year long. It's more important an extra bullpen arm on the 25. Do you demote Gausman? He has to start!

There will be injuries, there might be a suspension. All six won't be starting all year.

Would be interesting to go with a six man staff with one of the starters available to pitch an inning or two out of the bullpen.

This is a key point Weams. People demonize Ubaldo, but he would have been one of our better pitchers a few years ago. Just everyone else pitched so well that it makes Ubaldo look worse than he was.

Wright and Wilson are next on the depth chart. The team has also said they want to bring in a veteran on a minor league deal.

This 6 person rotation needs to be cleared up sooner than later.

The only way for a trade to even be a possibility is for him to have a monster year for the Orioles in 2015.

I'm pretty sure they could find a taker if they kicked in $30M and only asked for a PTBNL in return.

Oh he was bad, and he would never have been one of any halfway decent team's better pitchers. Once you adjust for the league run context he pitched almost exactly as well as 2007 Daniel Cabrera, the year he went 9-18 with a 5.55. I have some hope he'll improve, maybe by a lot, but he was bad last year.
