Just add any LH OF or 1B to the orioles list.....Just my opinion but I think the Upton deal could get done quick

[El Gordo]

He a straight free agent?

I don't think he's gay, not that it matters.

I just hope we don't overpay to get something done fast. Not opposed to Upton or Davis. We still have quite a few holes to fill, but I'm liking how active we've been.

Yeah, Venable's name keeps coming up, and that bothers me. Of the names being thrown around, he excites me the least.

[El Gordo]

Yeah Kim 5 million Alverez 7 million and Kazmir or Leake at 12 million would be the trifecta.

Doubt Kazmir and Leake get that little. A lot of teams left to bid on them.

Hits well outside of PETCO. He'd be a great platoon in RF with Reimold/Hoes, with Upton in LF.

I wouldn't hate Venable on a 1 year deal.

Anyone has to be better than what we got from Snider.

We disagree. I think he is about done. Bad for the last 2 years. Terrible for Texas 2nd half of last year. If he ever does have to face a LHP, he is an automatic out. I really hope we don't sign him.

I'd rather see the O's go after Hyeon-soo Kim instead of Venable. I think Venable is a fine platoon option, but would like the potential upside to Kim (albeit he's more of a risk).

All the other corner outfielders this year were worse, believe it or not.

Get Upton done today. Like someone said earlier, Boras and Davis are doing us a huge favor. Venable would be a good fit. Always good to buy low on guys.

This Kim stuff is just funny. I know Kang had success. But any league where former O's Yamaico Navarro and Eric Thames hit 47 and 48 HR's can't be taken seriously. Literally every American that played in that league had a OPS north of .850. I would bet good money that a 40 year old Fernando Lunar could go over there and put up big numbers.

It'll be Venable.

[Number5]

It'll be Venable.

If so, I will root for him and hope that I was wrong. I'd rather sign Kim, though.

So it is looking more and more likely that this turned out to be an unproven chunky OF from Korea and a pitcher that won 4 games last season?
