O's have tendered contracts to all eligible

Choo should be platooned, like Orsulak was.

Bautista and Encarnation both hit .250 off Brian.

Who needs Andrew Miller when you have Brian Matusz.

Ike Davis hits ZERO. And he just got close to 4 million!

Wieters did not get low enough.

And stuff like this is why some folks question your credentials as an Oriole fan.

In case you were wondering why.

Right, so at the end of the season we had traded a guy who couldn't get anyone out anymore and got a guy who appeared in the playoffs for us.

He played because we had nobody else...cmon man:)

I love DD and all but rendering JJ was a misstep. My gut is Mutusz is too albeit a much less expensive one.

I'm not liking how B squad of our pen next year is going to cost 10 million. Webb. Hunter. Matusz. We need some of that resource allocation.

JJ was dealt just before the deadline. He wasn't tendered until there was a deal in place.

How was it a misstep? Weeks made the league minimum. Anyone else that was on the roster would have cost at least that much.

How exactly were the O's hurt by tendering Johnson last season?

I have no desire to have Matusz on the team at the salary he will receive through the arbitration process.

I would not have tendered him unless I had a trade in the works.

Thanks for clarifying. I thought he was tendered first. Thank you kindly.

See below.

Agreed. Makes zero sense to keep Matusz.

Also, IIRC, there were rumors at the time that the O's and Dodgers had been discussing a deal involving Johnson and one of their outfielders, which fell apart when they couldn't agree on the money. That made it seem likely that the trade for Weeks was a fallback DD had to use.

That's it, I might have to join BL. The only thing that I asked was for Matusz to not wear Orange and Black ever again. Heck, I don't even want him pitching for the Giants. There is no way to quantify how much I do not care for his inability to pitch.

I remember that he had to scramble to get Weeks.

I love DD but some people blindly trust him too much. Too far extremes IMO. Matusz costs too much $ and there is no way you are going to get anything of value in a trade for a guy that can only face select lefties and is prone to breakdowns.

I realize that he may be traded, but let's not kid ourselves into thinking that he'll bring anything of value.
