Orioles scouts will be watching Rich Hill today

[Can_of_corn]

Nolan Ryan (the anti-Rich Hill) had recurrent blisters and apparently soaked his fingers in pickle brine between every start to toughen and prevent recurrence. Strange but true.

Can't forget about Kerry Wood.

Question: would Oakland even offer Hill a QO? That's a lot of money for a guy 36 with part of a good year.

No, not Oakland.

I would not be shaking hands with Moises or Kerry back in the day.

Lol. Actually, this is not as true as once thought.

Apparently, Tampa has almost no interest in trading within the division. Boston was told "No Thanks" when they asked Tampa about pitching. I dont know what kind of package besides Bundy would get Tampa to look at Baltimore as a trade partner.

I was gonna say, I read that somewhere a week or two ago too. Not within the division.

And I like the taste!

My first choice is Mancini and Sisco for Odorizzi or Moore. I'd like a LHP bit I think I'd prefer Odorizzi.

I doubt those two guys get you close to getting Ordozzi or Moore.

Rumor has it Boston asked about the price on Hill and Beane wanted Espinoza back.

Lol. But a poster suggested Macini would get it done? That's why I am lost.

I don't trust DD on these trades. Praying we sit on our hands or get some long bullpen guy and hope to convert.

He can ask for whatever he wants. Won't mean he will get it. Hence why Espinoza is a Padre now. The A's really aren't in the driver's seat with Hill. They aren't going to QO him. They'll take what they can get or keep him and get nothing. I personally don't want Hill.

At this point, I think Ervin Santana would be the best option for the Orioles. Santana's a solid league average pitcher who's been a consistent innings eater throughout his career plus the Twins asking price wouldn't be exorbitant because of his contact. The only question is would the Orioles be willing to pay Santana $28 million for the next two years?

I disagree. There's about 10 teams who need a pitcher and a handful or less of quality ones available.

Sounds like Beane overplayed his hand. Now Hill's is bleeding. Could set up for us to swoop in and get him.
