Wow, 9.15M + Clevenger

and we could have had Carter who has almost identical stats for 3M straight up

even DD's little deals are bad

We also picked up Riefenhauser who could be a useful lefty out of the pen in the future. And, the front office showed they can multi-task for those who think they're just sitting around fretting over when Chris Davis signs and doing nothing else.

Cmon weams, really? Thats fantasy baseball...would you rather have Trumbo at 9.1 million or Carter at 3 million? Thats the real question...of course in fantasy where salaries arent a factor you are taking Trumbo.

I'd rather have Trumbo at $9 mil than Davis at $22 mil or Carter at $3 mil.

      Mookie Betts has gotten more than 2/3 good years on his extension. Look at what Boston has been (and will most probably continue to be) since they traded him. Same for Bryce Harper with Philly (despite his injuries). I agree that for almost all longer term contracts, you will get diminishing returns toward the back end. But that’s the cost of doing business in modern day MLB. If Elias and Sig are as good at drafting and developing as they appear to be, by the time Gunnar and Adley begin to age/deteriorate, we should already have other players to help buffer them.  I just don’t think that it is in any way realistic to think that you can continue to replace “special” talent. Nor do I think that it is helpful for any orgs relationship with their fanbase to continue to operate on the cheap. It’s not like the fans will be given a discount if the org spends less money. The fans don’t benefit from an owner not spending, it’s the owners profit margin solely that benefits in that scenario.

      I’d be happier if we were actually having rain.

      Per usual......You can discount the words of perhaps the greatest Oriole of all time just to make internet drama.   I sir, will not.

      Maybe Brown can do a reprise this year for all his "fans" on the Hangout.

      Baseball relies so much on mental and technical abilities that it makes it hard to judge against the other big 4 sports of football, Bball, and hockey.  Which are much more reliant on pure size or physical athletic ability. I think of baseball very similar to the way I think about golf.  Both involve hitting a very small ball with oddly shaped clubs.  It is not so much about pure athletic ability as it is repetition and mental strength.   Of course in the end the best athletes in baseball do well, but how many great golfers are there at age 20, 21, 22, or even 23?  Not many.   It really requires mental toughness as much as anything and as a 20 year old that can be hard to come by without experience.

      Insufferable. The feigning of indignation that Ben McDonald couldn’t know who Blink-182 was stupid.
