Connolly rates Chen returning to the Orioles at 1 out of 10

[DrungoHazewood]

Ah, BR must round that up?

As they should.

I can see someone going 5-years for him, but doubt he gets six. I'd be shocked, actually. Yes, everyone needs pitching, but this winter, there's a ton of it on the market. I find it hard to believe anyone second or third tier pitcher gets more than 4-5 years.

Is there anyone worthy of being an Oriole?

I like Jordan Zimmermann but others won't want to give up the pick.

A lot of people like the idea of Scott Kazmir; he has experience in the AL East too.

The thread title should be renamed "Yankees to sign Chen"

Players who aren't represented by Scott Boras and targets of the team with limitless resources? That seems like a match made in Scrooge McDuck's vault.

That will be hard to watch along with Davis hitting the cr-ap out of us. It never get's

better, to late to pull the trigger.

Matt Harvey, Manny, Adam Jones, Jay Bruce, Mike Leake, J.A. Happ, Pedro Alvarez.

Greg Maddux. They brought him to New York, wined him and dined him. Sent he and his wife to a Broadway show. And he signed with the Braves. Steinbrenner was livid.

That was one reason why they gave Mussina the ultimatum to take the deal today or it's off the table.

Carlos Beltran in the 2004-2005 offseason, too.

And depends on whether you count Robinson Cano or not.

If you think that's hard to watch, wait until you see Machado in pin stripes!

With Harper, Arietta, and Jose Fernandez, they will be unstoppable.

When's Stanton's opt out?

When's Stanton's opt out?

They say his hand has not healed. He has nerve pain still. Weak wrist syndrom.

As a fan I wish him a full recovery. As someone that really dislikes his employer it would please me greatly to see him saddled with that contract if Stanton can not perform at a high level.

I'm mostly cool with the Yankees burning a pick on our QO'd player that we were never going to re-sign anyway.
