And all Atlanta got back was the #22 prospect in the Twins organization.

So anyone who thinks we'll get much of anything for Tillman is probably draming.

That's not what it's about. Anything is better than nothing. He is a FREE AGENT after this season. A low middling, single or double A kid who has a 1000 to 1 shot of making it is better than NOTHING!

I was accused of being a bully a couple days ago.

Heaven forbid that poster ever had to deal with Sportsguy.  He's harangue, he'd berate, he'd skirt every rule the board had.  I'm a daisy in the field in comparison.

You're not even that bad. Is Rene88 still here? That guy was ok sometimes, but he was unbearable.

Jaime Garcia does finally go to Minnesota.   Deal almost happened last week but a medical issue held it up.

Jaime Garcia is a good pickup for Minnesota. Would like him this offseason to bolster the rotation. Him, Alex cobb and Lance Lynn seem like good pickups

Somewhere in the forest, Grant Balfour's shoulder screams.

Duke. 

Adam Jones with Coach K and the Cameron crazies.

Duke

I am very surprised that Dan didn't trade for Cahill.  That would have been a very typical Dan acquisition. Maybe Dan has come to his senses and realize that the Orioles cannot contend.

I realize that.  But you read that threads you see people who actually seem to think Tillman will bring something of value.

Its all relative.  I would take a top 18-22 prospect.  From a good organization that might be a top 15 prospect for the Orioles.

I do remember Sports Guy and Sapper. 

Ah good times. As much as I am down on this team it is more fun then the days of posting Mark Reynolds picture in random places

The Astros #22 is Riley Ferrell a RP prospect with a Fastball that is considered plus plus (65).  The Dodgers #22 is Dustin May that has good stuff and a 3.7 era in A ball with a 1.1 WHIP.

 

however I still think the Orioles will resign Tillman.

Buy, Buy, Buy!!!

What rental starter can Alex Wells get us?

They just might.

Cripes.  One good week and now the org will be set back another few years.  Sell, Dan.  Sell!
