Cashner: $10 million

Hammel: 2 years/$16 million

Nova: 3 years/$24 million

Volquez: 2 years/$22 million

None of those deals are cheap, and the O's budget is probably maxed out, or very close to it, right now.

Lewis does remain a FA. Fister got an incentive-laden deal from the Angels, no guarantees. Just looking to rebuild his value, and the AL East is a bad place to do that.

I don't see the Orioles matching any of those deals, especially with Ubaldo/Gallardo/Miley having mixed results or just being straight out bad.

1.5 years of Britton vs 5.5 years of Joe Ross, first of all.

A young, controllable starting pitcher who I happen to think is pretty good.

But I certainly wouldn't mind asking for more.   :D

We can't undersell Britton, so long as he comes back healthy. I'm serious when I say you start with Victor Robles +. If the Nats won't come to the table, you dangle him to the other NL contenders and let them stew on that for a bit.

I hope you are right and he brings a lot of value.

My starting point was MDTransplant saying a "retool" instead of a rebuild, and Ross is someone who could literally improve the team this year as well as be around for 5 more.

That inning had everything. A solo homer. A great AB by Joseph, followed by incompetence by Rickard, Buck not PH'ing and Jones swinging at a breaking ball low and outside in the dirt.

Adam being Adam.

    • 1:2 is good.  Elite is a player like Arraez who is 1+:1.

    • Was reading Wiggins write up on ESPN. He appears to be more of a home run threat than Koolaid. He had a pick 6 each of the last 2 years.  
    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
