Top 50 MLB FA Predictions (MLB Trade Rumors)

[scOtt]

It's kind of sad to see Tim Lincecum as no more than an afterthought on the list of free agents. He's currently rehabbing an injury, and the Giants want him back... on a minor league contract. He's still just a 31 year old lefty. Considering we don't really have a 5th starter, I'd be inclined to give him a major league contract with plenty of incentives. If Kazmir was able to make a successful comeback, why can't Lincecum?

Are you cool?

Like how?

A few things:

The Orioles have a lot of work to do if that's their FA haul. Two guys with concussion pasts and no addressing the CO?

I thought Pearce would be in the mix, but if he scores $14M guaranteed, God bless him.

I know this was a collaborative effort, but I just don't see Nationals paying Parra 27M to be a 4th OFer. He'd actually be 5th behind Harper, Werth, Upton, and Taylor.

Under this CBA the earliest pick ever surrendered to sign a free agent is the 13th. The Orioles own the 15th.

That Morneau deal could be Cruz part II or it could be 8 mil dumped in a hole; a reasonable gamble.

Overall I suspect DD will go for a semi-rebuild while hoping his yearly depth binge comes out more like 2014 than 2015.

Your idea of reasonable is very different from mine. I'm not wasting 7 million on a player who may not be available to play. The Orioles are notorious for a tough physical process.

[ArtVanDelay]

Your idea of reasonable is very different from mine. He's played on 30 games in 2 of the last 3 years.

I would love to have Lincecum but the reality is he is not a lefty and it's probably wise for him to not go through with the O's physical process if there are any lingering concerns.

Obviously I meant he bats left.

I guess that's a reference to his hair - or both of us being dazed and confused.

Lincecum looks like Mitch.

Actually, Lincecum is a righty. Maybe he could become one of the Orioles' reclamation projects.

Anyone care to take a stab at who Mark Teixeira lite is? He's a rather inexpensive free agent this year.

Napoli?

[25 Nuggets]

Napoli?

Napoli's outproduced Tex the past five years, actually. Not a bad rebound target at all, but a righty, and entering age 34.

A 1.5 win-ish player over 5 seasons should be a relatively inexpensive free agent. And the answer is Matthew Joyce. I think the Orioles should definitely look at him; depends on his health. 2015 was way below his standards.

Well they're both pitchers too.
