Donaldson Trade (O's Related)

Agreed completely. Nobody wants to be patient though. The sky is falling allows some to get through the winter.

But we keep losing the off season and they win it year after year. It is frustrating

They also get a lot of pleasure out of declaring the game over every time we fall behind.

It's better to look good in the off season than to win in the on season?

They don't always wait that long.

He only negs Frobby

Can we come back and neg the AA backers after the Blue Jays choke away another season?

Im not backing the Blue Jays. I think aquiring Donaldson was a solid move that upgrades 3B for them tremendously. And Mannys knees worry me. I'm not sure how that equals being a Blue Jays backer. I can't stand them and I didn't like Donaldson the person when he was an A's.

I know all of this.

True, many seem to have a hard time realizing that this is no longer the 1998-2011 O's. Buck is not DT, and DD is not AM,/Duq/Flan,/Beattie/Trift.

Do you think there is a single GM in baseball that would trade Manny for Donaldson?

Yeah I do actually.

Well it's good thing they don't work for the Orioles. I'd take Manny over Donaldson anytime.

Healthy I would too.

Healthy I would too.

I think anyone would take the pre-arbitration, cheaper alternative of two relatively similar players

Do you dis-like Donaldson because Machado made an idiot of himself when Donaldson out-played him - and because Donaldson is so far the better player?

No I dislike him because he acts like an obnoxious jackass. He's like Swisher.

Manny was in the wrong but Donaldson's comments didn't do him any favors.

And I've already said I think Donaldson is a better player right now. So that has nothing to do with it.
