(Pick 71 was over 900K)

So maybe it is all about the money. Probably more complex.

Not saying it is.  Just sharing a thought that I had. 

Not about being cheap, about maximizing the amount spent on the big league team.

I'd have to agree with that theory.

Bit less tinfoil from that angle eh?

Is there any timeline on Santander? Is he throwing yet?

He's getting shut down for 6 weeks, PRP injection.  I see a 60 day move coming up soon. Can get Yac up that way.

Also might "save" Pena from DFA'ed territory.

Shut down for 6 to 8 weeks means September probably., If not Tommy John surgery.

Don't get why we are all in for a guy with big health issues

I would have kept Tavarez, who could have easily filled the Gentry/Kim spot on the roster

Interesting that you didn't mention it when the O's let Tavarez go.

Santander has started throwing.  He was out with a shoulder injury.  If we're anywhere near a playoff push we'll probably time it just right so that he comes back September 1st.  However, if we go in the tank you could see us start everything a little early to exhaust his Rule 5 status this year and not push some of it till next.
