"You know we are gonna participate in the Rule 5 Draft."(OF Rickard from Tampa)

[weams]

You just named three guys the O's are counting on. How much flexibility to carry a pitcher that basically has done zero in the majors. Choosing a rule V guy that most likely has done zero in the majors. If we have the flexibility to carry that come ST, it was a bad winter and there will be some angry fans.

Some people think Hardy is a liability even if moderately healthy. Many folks disparage Tillman's value.

But they take a 40 man roster spot!

Whatever. I tried to carry a conversation without being a smartass. You win.

Forgive me. I just don't hate selecting someone if we do.

Well, since Bundy won't be taking up a spot on the roster next year, I mean, why the heck not?

Because when it is all said and done most years you spend all that energy and you end up with a Flaherty, a McFarland or an Almanzar.

That is a story that has yet to be written.

That DeShields kid seems decent.

'Twas sarcasm. I would much prefer Bundy to be healthy and to hold down that roster spot all year.

That seems somewhat unlikely at this point though.

He was before us.

He was before us.

We'll be closer to the front of the line this year.

We traded up. Just not to first.

or Garcia. I think it improves the team...they have drafted well.
