Official Winter Meetings Thread

[Fla_O'sfan]

The stuff the Orioles get done at the winter meetings can be done from the warehouse. Why bkther wasting money to send guys there. Especially as strapped for cash as they seem to be.

I wouldn't worry about the trip. They got a good deal on Hotwire and stayed at the Motel 8.

Dan sitting on your hands not gonna fill holes buddy. You got lucky last year with Cruz. No Cruz this year.

So there was plenty of evidence showing he is working on deals but you are still spewing your normal BS. Do you blatantly ignore stuff that doesn't work for your agenda?

This has endorsement deal written all over it. I'm picturing Dan Duquette lounging in a plush Hyatt suite when it hits him. He turns toward the camera, smacks himself in the forehead and says, "Doh, I shoulda stayed at a Motel 8!"

Salaries for the Orioles went up 30 million because of arbitration?

That's what happens when you offer Hunter a deal at 4.4m Matusz 2.7m .

Keep winning, Dan & Buck.

Guys..... a lot of this stuff is inconsequential. You all just want a headline. Relax yourselves and enjoy the holidays

Doubtful. Unless a trade is made with someone picking 1 or 2

So $2M in increases is magically a big number?
