Mark Buehrle?? Why Not? (Bought an RV and no longer throws. Turned down 15 million.)

Take a chance on a 1 year deal at 20 Mil. Let him do what he has done in the past and give the youngsters more time in the ML. Am I crazy or is this an idea that could have some merit?

You are crazy. That's way too much money

I would consider 1 year 10 million, though I much prefer Kazmir.

One year at $20M is insanity.

It is little pointless to discuss, since he has basically made it known he wants to play for the Cardinals or retire.

His stance has softened since he made that statement.

20 million for Buehrle? Are we serious here?

Would you rather have Fister, Lato or Burhrle for 1/12?

[TheWall]

Hilarious dollar amount, but I would be interested at $12 million. I have interest in Latos and Fister as well.

Probably rank Latos / Burhle / Fister. Latos could be worth a qualifying offer if he rebounds strong, but Burhrle has been a durable contributor in the AL East the past few years.

I would take MB.

Not a bad idea to overpay for one year, maybe 1/15 gets it done. The O's have no choice but to try something like this. GM's get paid to read the market and predict trends just like a CEO of a company. Dan, apparently did not realize that arms would be so pricey when he decided to trade away so many the last few years. Now we must pay for that or sit back and accept third or fourth place.

Latos. And it's not close.

[crowmst3k!]

I would be VERY pleased if the O's got MB at a 1/12-15 deal.

It solidifies the rotation with a workhorse, groundball machine (and a lefty). It gives the O's another season to search for a longer-term solution to the probable loss of Chen.

I don't see the O's going 1/15. They need some money to pay Davis or Alvarez. Davis contract can be backloaded. Alvarez could also if it is on a three year deal.

That is the problem with a one year deal. The O's can defer some money but can't backload any.

If he decides not to retire I imagine his services will be highly sought. I doubt 1/12 gets it done.

Only if his knee is ok but yes, Latos. Then Buehrle, then Fister.
