Latos to White Sox

[Crazysilver03]

And Fister, but don't criticize DD, he is all knowing and powerful.

He would rather trade away from a baron system and give away first round draft picks.

Frustrating.

What is that that you normally tell me about not making posts such that it is "us vs them." No one says that so stop spewing lies.

3 million - 1 year

Good bargain imo

Are there any incentives?

Before things get out of hand on any side taking, please. No personal attacks against any posters. We'll moderate.

Are there any incentives?

None from what I read.

Good bargain, imo.

Only 3 million? Must be hurt still.

It just seems the FO wasn't in on him. Wonder why?

He may or may not be hurt.

But my feeling/reaction about this is that it's kind of like reading a big story a newspaper, but it doesn't make sense ...... something seems to be missing (about the story.)

Really solid deal for CHW. Would have been good for O's to been in on that kind of deal. Not even that much money to eat if you need to release him.

You can critique him all you want. I don't care if you do.

Did he want to pitch in Camden Yards for 3 million for a one year make good?

There's the supposed character issues that I guess are worth throwing out there. Maybe Buck wasn't down?

Me personally, I just think the O's had their own plan and guys like Latos and Fister never really factored in too much.

At this point, unless it is a Milb deal, there are 40 man roster issues to discuss at length. And you can't DL anyone yet.

[Finisher]

He's hurt and I ddn't really want him but at 1/3 .. that's something you have to do.

Lots of things he has done the last few years that I can critique. In retrospect.

Who do you release? Also, who knows if the Orioles were at 1/5. They may well have been. The Nationals lost seven guys while being high bidder.

[El Gordo]

Both Fister and Latos had health issues. They may not have been interested in taking an O's Physical and failing.

[weams]

Good point. You have to be willing to give up a healthy player who you know for a potentially unhealthy one who you do not know. Unless you're very sure of the player you're getting, that's a tough call to make.

After camp opens you can put Bundy on a 60 day DL if you want. Probably Harvey too. Maybe even Hardy. But you can't yet.

Here is something we can be sure of: some pitcher who was signed very cheaply will have a very good year, and there will be posters criticizing our front office for not signing that pitcher. Maybe it will be Latos, maybe Fister, maybe some other guy.

All I can say about Latos is that there must be some very serious question marks about his health. You don't get marked down to $3 mm because people don't like your clubhouse demeanor. Nor do you get marked down that far because you present some moderate medical risk, like Fister. This is what you pay for a guy who has less than a 50% chance of being healthy this season.
