there is something on the internet from Peter Gammons suggesting that the damage to the shoulder is serious.

Plus Roch's quote about "this could take the rest of the week". The O's have the results and doctors have looked at them. What additional tests can be done? I have to think that the additional time will be used on a restructure if the deal goes through at all.

if the deal is less than 3 years it not worth giving up the pick imo

Just my opinion, but the longer this goes the better chance they work something out. The one nice thing about this is that we actually have history to reference as to how this could play out.

Looking back at Grant Balfour:

12/17/13- agrees to terms w/Orioles

12/18/13- physical begins in Baltimore

12/19/13- Roch reports issue with the physical, immediately says the deal is in "serious jeopardy"

12/20/13- Duquette is on a conference call saying that unfortunately a deal is not going to happen, and Balfour and his agent are all over the radio circuit proclaiming his full health

It all came together (and fell apart) in a rush with Balfour. I think it was pretty clear from the jump that his agent and he had no interest in trying to rework a deal. So the longer this extends here, I think the more likely it is that they hash out something that works for both sides.

My proposal:

2/22 with a 3rd year vesting option and a 4th year team option. Details:

Year 1 and 2 are identical to original deal: $9MM followed by $11MM.

Year 3 automatically vests at $13MM if Gallardo hits 180 innings in 2017 or a combined 360 between 2016-17. If he misses both marks, it converts to a team option with a $2MM buyout.

Year 4 is a $13MM straight team option, identical to the one in the original deal with a $2MM buyout.

Deal then is 2/22 with the chance to become 3/35 or 4/46 just like the original deal.

To me it all depends on what other offers Gallardo has on the table. If no other team is willing to give him 3 years at similar money and surrender a draft pick, the O's may still be his best option. Until we hear a quote in the media from Bobby Witt saying he's furious with the O's about the situation, I'm inclined to believe they will try and work out a compromise that satisfies both parties. Otherwise, Gallardo may have to wait until after 6/15 when the loss of a draft pick will no longer be a deterrent for teams.

Perhaps the tests are done, but other doctors are now being consulted in the interest of prudence/fairness.

Yeah...I hope this gets resolved quickly. The longer this drags out, the worse it is for both parties.

I really feel like if it's not going to happen, it falls apart fairly quickly. The longer it goes, it likely means they are both working towards finding a solution that both sides are still comfortable with.

      Os vs KC in WC round

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We played all our Saturday games at home at 4pm. That should help us.  I don’t know if that was the full reason we made the switch this year, but it had to factor in. We didn’t do so well in the day games last year in the playoffs.  Also, don’t be surprised to see McCann get a big hit in game 1 and possibly just start this entire series versus the speedster Royals.  Let’s go. We owe these “guys” big time paybacks even if it’s 10 years later.

      They also smacked him around for 7 ER on 9 H in 1.2 innings. He can be beaten, though he certainly had a great September.

      Looks like the Detroit Tigers (Update: O's play KC in 1st round of playoffs)

      I understand why posters would want to avoid Skubal in a game 1, but the Royals starters are not going to be a cakewalk. Probably a deeper starting staff with Ragans, Lugo and Wacha.

      2024 Week 4: Ravens vs Bills on SNF

      The same thing was happening was MacDonald was the DC and when Wink was the DC, that makes me put most of the blame on Harbaugh

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By Hallas · Posted

      dWAR is just the run value for defense added with the defensive adjustment.  Corner OF spots have a -7.5 run adjustment, while CF has a +2.5 adjustment over 150 games.    Since Cowser played both CF and the corners they pro-rate his time at each to calculate his defensive adjustment.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By e16bball · Posted

      Just to be clear, though, fWAR also includes a substantial adjustment for position, including a negative one for Cowser.  For a clearer example on that front, as the chart posted higher on this page indicates, Carlos Santana had a +14 OAA — which is the source data that fWAR’s defensive component is based on. That 14 outs above average equates to 11-12 (they use different values on this for some reason) runs better than the average 1B.  So does Santana have a 12.0 defensive value, per fWAR? He does not. That’s because they adjust his defensive value downward to reflect that he’s playing a less difficult/valuable position. In this case, that adjustment comes out to -11.0 runs, as you can see here:   So despite apparently having a bona fide Gold Glove season, Santana’s Fielding Runs value (FanGraphs’ equivalent to dWAR) is barely above average, at 1.1 runs.    Any good WAR calculation is going to adjust for position. Being a good 1B just isn’t worth as much as being an average SS or catcher. Just as being a good LF isn’t worth as much as being an average CF. Every outfielder can play LF — only the best outfielders can play CF.  Where the nuance/context shows up here is with Cowser’s unique situation. Playing LF in OPACY, with all that ground to cover, is not the same as playing LF at Fenway or Yankee Stadium. Treating Cowser’s “position” as equivalent to Tyler O’Neill’s, for example, is not fair. The degree of difficulty is much, much higher at OPACY’s LF, and so the adjustment seems out of whack for him. That’s the one place where I’d say the bWAR value is “unfair” to Cowser.
