Beckham does not get on base well. He'll fit right in.

His glove matters to me.

The good news is we don't have any good minor league pitchers so can't loose any.

It appears DD did nothing of significance which means he and or the ownership think they are contenders. I can understand not selling low on Britton (I don't know what they were being offered), but not moving Brach, Smith, Castillo or O'day (if he could) is inexcusable.

Do you know what the offers were? Do you know whether Duquette went to Angelos with a deal or five deals or ten deals and got shot down on all of them (or got them approved, but too late because the opportunity was gone)?

I have no idea, but you seem to know that Duquette had some attractive opportunities but turned them down. How do you know that?

I really like the Beckham deal if it is just Myers. Kind of a rich man's Ryan Flaherty for three arbitration years.

Beckham is a smart pickup but I have to think the Rays will take a choice morsel off of what is left the the farm's pitching carcass.

I was intrigued by Tobias Myers but this seems like a steal for us.

Hmmm, surprising if that's all we gave up.

How attractive does the offer have to be for someone like Smith?

Pulse, check.

Pay Smith's salary, check.

Deal.

I'm just kidding. I like Beckham. I'm a little disappointed that we didn't do anything else, but the Beckham move looks good on paper.

Has good K/BB ratio.

Perhaps there's hope a Britton deal got through

Well Dan did make a big deal about emphasizing OBP.  Makes comments like that fair game.
