That is a real good offer if Am doesn't take that it is time for Hendry to move on.Thats 3 of the Cubs top 10 prospects.Roberts comments to me sound like he wants this deal done as quick as possible he doesn't want to wait to the last 3 days and meet his knew team and get accumated with them.

Obviously he has to be getting anxious for an answer one way or the other. I don't care how many million dollars he makes, it can't be comfortable playing for a team that acts like you're no longer a part of it but won't move forward with trading you, especially after all he's done for this team and this city off the field.

In my opinion the 4th player is Patterson he would be blocked here with the Cubs.

IMO - If patterson is the 4th player ther is no way we could turn that deal down! It would fill alot of hole on our team with player that have an upside (i.e. not L. Hernandez)

Yeah Im sure he wants it to be over one way or another so he can focus on getting ready for the season. No player would want to start with a new team just a few weeks before the season starts so the sooner the better.

But in no way have the Orioles acted like he is no longer a part of the team and its slow becasue Roberts is "Mr Oriole" trading him is hard. Its not that they aren't moving forward, as Ive said all off season if we trade him it needs to be for the perfect package (more so that just equal value) becasue the average fan is going to need to see something to not be PISSED.

It sounds like the Cubs FO is getting a little more serious with its offers if Veal is in and there may be a fourth player.

It would be nice to get Colvin or Ceda, but we've been led to believe that's unrealistic by most Cubs fans here. Of course, those same fans were screaming at us to stop hallucinating about a four for one .... We'll see.

    • Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.
    • He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.
    • Think Heston will be the next call up. Mayo’s K/BB ratio is poor and I think they’ll want to see that even out. Stowers and Norby have seen their numbers slip a bit.  It will likely take an injury to an outfielder or first baseman, but I think we see HK next. 
    • I have to laugh at some of my pre-draft thoughts as well as others. I will say on behalf of myself and some others is that what we did not understand then was what the Orioles brain trust knew to be their model, and what they best developed. What traits they were looking for is an important thing to know, in hindsight anyway. And really, the Jackson Holliday leap in development was not something most of us heard anything about until about a month before the draft. I saw him the previous summer and I cannot say he was all that impressive, but it was only one look. His physicality took a big jump after that.  I will also add that we’re never going to know what would have happened if they drafted Austin Martin, Jones, Lawler, Lacy, etc. Their development could well have been different as O’s. The funny part of this board, in general, is the absolute certainty some have in their opinions and how eager they are to trash Elias and staff. There is plenty of humility to go around, now that things have played out. It’s fun to finally have a truly great front office and ownership group, and a stacked stable of horses. 
    • How did the moustache work for Austin Hays?
    • Thanks for the kind words @HbgOsFan and thanks especially for reading them.
