Dan was just named the Sporting News GM of the Year. Congratulations Dan! You have done a hell of a job as the GM of the Orioles. I am glad you hangout guys were wrong about him.

Sporting News announces Mike Scioscia manager of the year over Buck Showalter

"What?!? Idiots"

"Don't worry it's not the real one"

"No need to get worked up, Buck will still win the real award"

"I didn't even know Sporting News still existed, who cares?"

Sums up this entire forum for me (especially during the offseason). Excellent post.

Well deserved. Dan had a brilliant year.

Yes indeed. Cruz, Miller, De Aza, Pearce, Brach, Young, others I'm probably forgetting. He brings in studs for next to nothing. Ubaldo was about the only bust, and he still has potential to turn it around somewhat.

I am a Ubaldo fan.

Brilliant. Yes.

Dan is a really good GM. He did, however, dodge a couple bullets with Balfour and Bronson Arroyo. Also, the interest in Axford last year was downright scary.

I am a Ubaldo fan.

Me too. He has crazy movement on all his pitches, and he had flashes of brilliance this year. It's just that he obviously set a career high in BB/9, so we just need him to cut back on the walks. If he does, he will be pretty darn good. Lots of K's and GB's when he's on.

I can be. If he'll let me.

I think he will have a better 2015 than Jake Arrieta.

That would be a good accomplishment. It's really looking like Jake's the real deal in Chicago.

I believe Jake can be fickle.
