Would you trade for Andrew Miller again

I don't think we have anybody old and expensive enough that the Yankees would want. The closest we have is Hardy but he's only 33 and only makes 12m. The Yankees wouldn't be interested in anyone that inexperienced and cheap. If we could swing a 3 way deal with the Angels to get Pujols - then flip Pujols to the Yankees for Miller - that might get it done.

I'd also like to take a second during this post to reiterate my position that Brian Cashman is the worst GM in baseball and we should thank our lucky stars each and every day for the early part of his career that allowed him to stay GM for life for the Yankees apparently. If they had someone good there our lives would be infinitely more difficult.

I like our pen, if O'Day returns healthy, and no reason why he wont.

Bundy & TJ in Long relief

Givens and Brach to bridge the gap to O'Day and Britton.

You have Vanimal in the rotation?

You have to admit a lock down lefty that isn't tied down by the save rule would be nice to have.

I basically agree with you about the Cubs, but to say its not even remotely close is hyperbole. The Cubs dont even have the best record in the game. Currently the Rangers and Giants are better, and Id probably have to rate the Giants overall starting pitching, Madbum, Cueto, Zamardzija, and Peavey as slightly better than the Cubs.And by the way, Id be thrilled to death to face the Cubs in the World Series. That would mean WE won the A.L.. I still dont see THAT happening,but I can dream.

If the Orioles played the Cubs seven games right now, I bet it would be interesting.

I'd have to agree.

Also.

While I'd love to see Miller back in orange/black, I've gotta think that if DD wanted him at $9 mil/year he would've made him that offer two years ago. To do so now, and have to give up a prized farmhand, would be admitting a mistake, and paying dearly for it.

IMO, I think DD knew he had some decisions to make and having to blow up the budget, and I suspect he made a decent offer to Miller, but Miller also wanted a longer deal, 3 years vs 2 years, and wanted to be closer.

If he kept Miller, then maybe O'Day wouldn't be here now?

From what I understand, the Oriole never offered on Miller after they asked what he was after.

This. Yes.
