It's just another Angelos story to add to the list," one baseball executive said. "He affects everything they do. They may never overcome him. Why would they want a first baseman when they can overpay for middle relievers and have four DHs?"

"It's another Angelos story to add to the list, says a GM. He effects everything they do. They may never overcome him. Why would they want a first basemen when they can overpay for middle relievers and have 4 DH's?"

Most GM's and Boswell agree with me. You trade a good 2b for a 40 HR first baseman who's only 27 and can protect Tejada for years.

Edit:damn Fansince! You beat me to it!

It's hard to argue with Boswell, but he's just so annoying.

We get it, slappy, but guess what? You've got your own jacked up franchise to b*tch about down there, so shhhhhhhhhhhhh...

He won't be *****ing about them for long. With Kasten running it and a new stadium on the way. They will leave us in the dust.

Apparently Boswell has his own.

And to answer the question posed in the second thread on this, he doesn't write for the Sun because they want to keep their readership.

We've got the head start.

Plus we own the network, that helps.

What's their maximum entitlement?

Your kidding right? Boswell is always a great read.

...if he is talking about anything OTHER then the Orioles.

Yeeeeeeah no. That's inferiority complex. The Nats have one of the worst farm systems. They have an awful team. They only have one (injury prone) starter and a bunch of Trachsel-level scrubs fighting for four spots. The only sign of future talent comes in Ryan Zimmerman. They have ONE prospect on BA's top 100, and he's at 95.

It'll be years before they compete. Well, maybe not before they compete, but before they're a decent team that is worthy of competing.

Ovie have you ever had anything good to say about the O's? Why are you a fan? :-P

Thats a pretty silly statement. He's an excellent writer no matter what the subject. Maybe he doesnt know everything about the Orioles but i think he has a good understanding about IDIOT owners - PollinSnyderAngelos.

How is it silly?

It's like some people on here: they make some good points, but when it is wrapped in a veil of, "ANGELOSSUXANGELOSSUXANGELOSSUXANGELOSSUX!!!11," anything worth reading is lost.

[utvolzac]

I don't read the Sun and i don't know who the author of this article is. But everything in it looks pretty accurate to me.

[Rockbird]

Boswell is right. This is exactly the same stuff we've always heard, always feared and always complained about. Angelos openly admits to vetoing moves his GMs thought would "improve the team". Until he's gone we won't be in the position to compete again. Don't ignore the message just because you don't like the messenger.
