Update: O's sign Trumbo to 3yr/$37 mil deal

[birdcrazy]

If they can trade him it's great. If the O's tank in a year or two, and he is still hitting bombs he will bring back more than the pick was worth.

I am not sure if it is DD or Angelos, but anymore the O's seem like the toughest negotiators out there. DD being stone cold a week ago about how he likes getting the draft pick. That said, Ubaldo was a mistake, and Davis was an overpay.

When was 30 and had a 1/9,150,000 contract he was worth a backup catcher.

I'd rather have Sedlock than a backup catcher.

Is it possible Chris Davis can agree to play right field and Trey Mancini and Trumbo can alternate first base and DH?

I like this idea

If he was willing to do it why didn't they do it last year?

Whatever.  You're going to wear out Castillo playing him 162 games.

There is always Flaherty.  He's got the glove and everything.

Is Alvarez still on our radar screen??

Yea, lets make sure Trumbo starts 100 games in the outfield.

You would not think so.

What's the better deal from the team's perspective?  Bautista or Trumbo?

Trumbo is not injured and old.

He also has a much lower ceiling and required a 3 year deal instead of 1.

The lost draft pick is lower with Trumbo.
