Ok great! Pending physical. Whoa, he signed? Ok!

So Fowler is costing the #14 pick now? Would Gallardo cost the #28 pick? Does that make a different deal more palatable? And how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?

For about 35 million.

Bargainish

Sweet. Pending physical, though.

Same two players, same two picks.

How could it possibly make a difference.

At the end of the day Dan will have forfeited three first round picks.

He signed though.... did Gallardo actually sign?

[25 Nuggets]

I really really hope that doesn't become a running theme.

Oh that's good.

You best get in front of it with some sweet Dexter's lab photoshops.

Tongue very squarely in cheek CoC.

Tongue very squarely in cheek CoC.

I know, I just wanted to remind everyone, once again, about the loss of the draft picks.

Of course with the 27th best farm system around and a GM that likes trading for marginal mid-season upgrades I'm sure they don't need them.

Yabba dabba doo!

If we are counting the picks (3) and the players that will need to be removed from the Forty (3) it may be an expensive off-season in more ways then just green backs.

Yes, but you have to admit that Parra deal gave you a good feeling when first announced, no?

[BMann]

O's certainly have a grownup budget this year. Who would have thought?

Dan and company seem to have learned their lesson from last year's disastrous offseason. No one can say they haven't at least tried to improve the team since last fall.
