Offseason Rumors and Deals Around MLB

You like McKinney?

You ain't cool unless you like McKinney. That's how we sort out those stat line scouting posers!

Britton has three years control. He is a rock star in the closer market if made available.

I know you believe that.

Well, I'd say he projects better than what he's produced. You disagree? My sarcasm meter is on the fritz.

The lists I looked at like McKinney.

I don't know near enough to dispute their opinion.

Considering my lack of any scouting ability, or an opportunity to actually see the players in question regularly, I don't think my opinion about a minor league player means anything.

I do think that 6+ years of a pretty decent CO is more valuable to the O's then 3 years of an expensive closer.

He was making a joke.

I'm not sure at whose expense it was.

I know you believe that.

Sometime what I believe and what is factual coincide.

[weams]

Two places for Giles and Britton. Lots of places for Papelbon and Storen.

[Stotle]

Sometime what I believe and what is factual coincide.

Lots of times. I'm just not sold Britton and Chapman are valued the same by the market.

I like him. I think he can play.

Probably not. But three years of a super guy is worth a ton. And wont come cheap. And does not need to be traded now. Time. Is on my side.

Britton's value is going to sharply decline, though, as his control years shorten and his price tag jumps, no?

You always say that you want to be free.

Not this year. His value might even rise with a few more saves. Or another AL East title.

[Can_of_corn]

His value isn't going to go up.

Not unless the O's convince him to sign a multi-year deal under his projected arbitration awards.
