Rumor: Orioles to Sign Jarrod Saltalamacchia (Wieters not to return?)

If he's been QO'D you'd assume that squashes this rumor.

As multiple people have stated in this thread, there is no reason to think one has anything to do with the other. If in the extraordinarily unlikely event Wieters accepts the QO, THEN the rumor would be squashed.

Correct. There has been absolutely no rumor squashage by offering the QO to Wieters.

I think 6/20 was when the DBacks picked him up, after he was dropped by Miami. It's not just some arbitrary date (though still a small sample size).

I thought I looked up his splits between teams and that wasn't it. He only played a handful of games for Miami.

He signed with Arizona May 7th, joined the big club on May 29th and had a .154/.244/.282 line over his first 45 plate appearances before the June 20th turnaround.

It's an industry term.

Exactly. Those numbers don't count, nor does his Miami .069 average because, uhh... well... you want to make him look better?

The utes of America might have trouble saying squashage 3 times real fast.

Rotoworld mentions us as a fit as well. If he hits like hit did the last 150 Abs he'd be a compliment that could be rotated between Catcher and DH.

In other words, if we selectively take the part of the year where he played poorly and ignore that he's primed for an expanded role.

We did that with Ubaldo, why not anyone else?

Ubaldo was good other times. And the totality of his work is 2013 was spectacular. It was just that he was the best pitcher in baseball from August on and single-handedly pitched the Indians into the playoffs. that year. But other years he was beauteous as well.

Yeah, I know. My last post was mostly sarcasm even though there is truth in it.

Not that this method has ever been used to defend Orioles.

Oh, gross. Tissue?

If your bringing him in your hoping for the best. I feel much better that he finished strong rather than was a dog the last 150 ABs like Parra. You hope that whatever the reason that he struggled early had been corrected and he doesn't repeat.

Look I want Heyward and the best 15M per year starter I can get surrounded by cheap guys at the other vacant slots over a bunch of pricey mid level guys. I think your better off ...so I don't love the idea of Salty.
