He said, just before checking into the Cito Gaston Suite of the San Diego Marriott.

"You know the good thing is that baseball is always interesting, if you do a good job there are always opportunities."

" I don't know much about the opportunity in Toronto. When the Boston club was being sold the position was something that I had interest in."

"Baseball America award is a [complete organization] award. We have a stocked minor league system."

I thought he was going to Pats-Chargers game? Guess he will get there by halftime.

Duquette:

"I do have a contract, and I have always honored my contract."

"Glad to hear" the Angelos quotes.

Yeah, baby !!!

I hope that he means it.

[T. Legend]

Boom. Suck it Jays.

Boom. That isn't true. From past negotations - where there's smoke, there's fire.

You should all be happy - it's not like the Jays have made the smartest moves recently.

I'm reading too much subtext into all these quotes. Doesn't sound too sincere. The "opportunities" thing certainly makes it sound like he wants a promotion somewhere.

What's to prevent the O's from offering him this position? Let Duquette do the GM thing during the meetings. Then promote him and let him find the GM he wants for the team after the winter meetings. Sounds like a plan to me!

Who doesn't?

Maybe some of the DD bashers in this thread can start the apologies.

It's over 3 hours until the game. I think he's got time to go to the minibar in his hotel room and have a shot of Canadian Whiskey first.

Well, yeah. I mean he expects a promotion and/or isn't happy that the success/awards hasn't led to something within the O's org. Maybe he's been vocal to PA about it in the past.

He is talking long and in depth about different Orioles moves for this week and for this off season.

Dan "The outfielders on the market (trade targets) are too pricey both in prospects needed and salary owed. I can see paying the money, It doesn't make sense to spend the money and give up the prospects this time of year."

"I'm not in a position to talk about medical issues with our players or former players. I cant speculate on what would have caused a decision for another organization." regarding Nick's neck.

"Melky Cabrera is a little younger than some of those other guys."

"It's a possibility to trade a pitcher and then acquire another pitcher or promote from within. Eddie Gamboa is my darkhorse. Phil Niekro says you don't mature as a knuckleballer until you are in your thirties."

[TouchemAll]

Yeah, baby !!!

I hope that he means it.

You and me both but DD denied nothing.
