Don't know about you...but I want Cespedes

[MDtransplant757]

No. Eric Brynes and Ron Darling selected him for the Orioles. Amsinger agreed. All three in agreement. They picked the Orioles as the landings spot. Because of the money that Davis had said no to.

I'd still want Gordon, but Cespedes would kill it up here.

They said we were all in or that we should be all in? Huge difference.

It was their prediction. Have no idea what they based it on. But it was unanimous. It was a show. Obviously not hard hitting reportage.

In other words, they were making a prediction based on what they presumed would be the most logical landing spot for Cespedes. And, by invoking logic, they removed the discussion from the realm of baseball.

I think the Mets are firmly out of the Cespedes sweepstakes.

I've heard DET, SF, CHW, as speculated landing spots for Cespedes.

Trade him and then resign him. That's genius. The White Sox won't pay up, San Fransisco is pretty much done with their moves too. He wouldn't really do well in that park because of how massive it is.

Shame. The Wilpons truly did get robbed by Madoff.

I like the fact that there is no pick attached to him.

Beyond that, it would depend on the numbers involved.

I still think priority #1 has to be pitching but whatever......

Same. But do you pay over inflated prices for pitching or trade. That's the question of this offseason for the O's

See I do not see the pitching prices as inflated. This is the cost of good pitching 2015. There is plenty of money floating around baseball that much is clear. It's just logical the money the players get, goes up with it. Actually its how things are supposed to work.

No, this is not how it goes, you don't reward mediocre and mid-level guys, that kind of money, that's crazy.

I think they were part of the group that profiteered. And that is why they had to sell off part of their deal to pay the claw-back.
