One less possible landing place for your boy, Colby.

No surprise the Orioles didn't trade for him. Still convinced we have our team already.

In other news, I like what Seattle is building up there

Mariners really going for the whole thing this year.

Don't know Maurer. What's our equivalent?

Mike Wright.

For Brandon Maurer straight up? wow

[scOtt]

Mike Wright.

Pauses....... I'd have done that. Grudgingly.

Seattle is building for a championship run.

That's how you do it.

Sign a big name (R. Cano) - build around him.

Make a common sense signing (N. Cruz) for additional protection and power.

Make sure you retain your ace pitcher (which we still don't have).

Make good trades for solid players (something that hasn't happened - ironically - since MacPhail).

2015 is going to be an ass-whoopin' for our boys. The Orioles are going to be outclassed, hard.

We won the division by 12 games. We don't need mega big moves, just tweaks.

Seth Smith is a difference maker. You can't spell his name without MVP.

But it doesn't count unless you spend a lot of money and get on Sportscenter in the winter.

Signing a 35 year old player coming of his career year for 4 years/$50 million is a common sense signing? WOW. Just wow. That a trade for a 32 year old platoon guy coming off his career year by far who is owed $13 million over the next two years would inspire this post is incredible. Suffice it to say, you are welcome to your opinion. Just as you were last season.

Bummer. Seth would have been a good fit for what we need.

Still not worried though, since Seth Smith was a good fit for what we need
