Duquette wants a starting pitcher. He's described it as a No. 1, 2 or 3, which tells me no reclamation projects.

I'd expect Duquette and the rest of the contingent to reach out to Pedro Alvarez, who was non-tendered by the Pirates. He could fit as the primary designated hitter.

Keep any eye on outfielder Will Venable, a left-handed hitter who also interested the Orioles last winter. The Padres held onto him until consummating a trade with the Rangers in August.

Venable owns a career .317 on-base percentage, which doesn't really solve a need for the Orioles, but they still like him.

Weams.....you are a lucky guy.

Interested in Alvarez if they are not doing it right instead of Davis. This means the cost would have to be in line with that.

No interest in Venable!

Ok ... Do you interest in Alvarez is contingent on Davis?

I would think unrelated. Davis would play right field until Trumbo leaves.

I would think unrelated. Davis would play right field until Trumbo leaves.

We would be stacked offensively with Jones, Machado, Trumbo, and Alvarez in the middle of the lineup

Wow, I had no idea. I'll have to check that out.

By the way, the Sunday of last year's winter meetings was the day the Duquette to Toronto craziness started. Glad that's behind us.

So lessee... O'Day back, want a #2/3 SP, looking at Alvarez and Venable... all this points to Davis signing elsewhere in my book. The team is investing in several areas instead of one.

Somebody please tell me they're looking at Denard Span or someone with OBP skills.
