Heyward

The bat alone is worth 159M.

I've become sold on Heyward (not bc of fangraphs), but it really doesn't matter from the O's perspective. No chance we even pick up the phone.

Yep, and Marco Estrada did receive a QO and was not on that list. The total is 20.

Yup, I saw the number was the same and didn't check by line. Tsk.Tsk.Tsk.

No QOs

Cespedes, Cueto, Leake, Zobrist, Kazmir

Traded in-season... can't give them QOs.

Couldn't give Cespedes one anyway. Was written into his contract.

The shocker so far is Houston giving one to Rasmus.

That really didn't surprise me too much. I thought it was a good move to dare Rasmus to accept. They should have the payroll to absorb it.

I think if he does take it, they will trade him.

They have a lot of players going to arb this year that will cost a lot of money.

Yes. Simply indicating which top FAs I would consider. Price too.

They do. The list also includes Carter whom they could trade or not offer arb.

You can't trade a QO'd player until after the draft, I believe.

Also I don't think there would be much of a market to give up prospects for the right to pay him 15.8.

I have never heard this assertion. Any source?
