The Orioles are showing strong interest in free-agent OFer Michael Morse (Signs w/Marlins)

[weams]

One dimensional guy with shaky injury history. Another red flag - 2 home runs in his last 39 games last year. Gotta wonder about his health.

He had an oblique strain. Like Pearce, and Davis.

I guess my question would be this. If the O's had a problem with Nick's physical and we know the history between the O's and Morse's agent regarding Balfour, it would take an overpay or a complete lack of interest elsewhere for Morse's agent to want to even entertain going down this road IMO.

I would be surprised if Morse ended up here even though I really like the idea and think he would be a decent fit.

Morse's agent serves Morse, not the other way around.

Will this motivate DD to offer Delmon a second year?

Let's hope not.

At this point, every starting option will likely be gone by Christmas.

That's only if you believe there aren't already starting options on the roster. I don't think Duquette agrees, and I don't either.

I am very interested to see what Mike Morse signed for with the Marlins. Not because i wanted him for the Orioles, I did not. But I want to see how close the experts were at 2 yrs/22 million. I bet he got at least that much.

I am too. If that is what Morse got I don't think the O's will be signing any of/DH free agents. They will either make a trade or stand pat. Just a guess.

Well I guess you will have to play with your trains......

So many. I repeat so many additions are made after January that contribute to a teams upcoming success. Have patience.

Sad. I wanted Morse. Who is replacing the Cruz power? Scary.

Davis. Machado. Schoop. Hardy. We hit more home runs the year before we had Cruz. By the all star break 50% of these deals are going to look bad.

Wow!!! Two years 8 million seems right around Duquette's margin. This is a bit of a head scratcher.

Shocked he signed for so cheap. That's not a bad contract at all.
