It's not like the offer is going down. 

I think you are right Weams. So doesn't that force us to move on? What do you think?

They going to Davis-up the contract so it looks bigger?

No Idea. I figure 4/ 52 to 56 in cash and the 8 million pick value adding about 2 per year to the value in the Front Office mind. It's not like they don't make FAs pay for assigned pick

Question for the pro-Rasmus folks.  Why exactly would we want him?  He's a low AVG and low OBP guy who strikes out a ton with a little bit of pop in his bat.  We have that in spades.  Genuinely curious....

Good defense and previously good bat. Type of goodness like what the Oriole have. I assume Seth Smith just took his role on the Orioles.

They are looking at WAR and his defense is better than the rest.

It's not my money. I like good hitters. So sure.

Thanks, weams.  I do like his bat (power wise) and his D, just concerned over the .206 AVG, .286 OBP and .641 OPS from last year.

He was injured in some very weird ways last year and was not permitted to get healthy. He had several surgeries.

LOL-that's awesome. I like that answer.

I like the pick, could care less about the $$$.

Turn the pick into money as I did and it is more palatable. It's not like he would be sacrificing a finished product or anything.

I find it less palatable.

I was brought up to not overpay.

I just want a good OF to put out there with Jones. I'd prefer two, but that's clearly not happening.
