Sell Tillman

[Bahama O's Fan]

With injuries to starting pitchers coming up, what can we get for Tillman for a rental? We could always try to resign him in the offseason.

But then he won't be an Oriole for life.

With Kershaw and Strasburg not finishing their starts today, the market could be better to sell now.

I proposed this two weeks ago and people on here laughed. He might have some value.

Two weeks ago he didn't look to have any value whatsoever.  He's pitched better since.

Tillman may get you a signed Bridwell jersey, if you pick up the remainder of his contract and add Britton.

Ha..ha..where's he headed?

Value is back up! Robles, Soto, Seager and ? 

Needs to be a 3 team deal, no one team can afford him with the slider in full effect.

If Kershaw or Strasburg is out for any amount of time, how much would you give up for Tillman if you were their GM?

Maybe it could.

Darvish may end up in LA.

He's got one more start before deadline. Let's hope he throws 6 shutout innings and we get swamped with offers.

That'd be nice.

If Gray is off the market, I might be able to create a feeding frenzy by Monday. I think this bears watching.

Plus given his status, we don't need a massive haul in return.  We are the Walmart of deadline starting pitching help.

I think you have to be a 'player', work the field, and see who you can fleece at deadline. Like I said earlier, you create a frenzy.

Tillman has had 2 bad season since 2012, and this is one of them ...... so I don't believe that the Orioles would get much at all for him right now.

 

He will be hitting free agency at season's end, so the only good thing about his bad 2017 season is that it won't cost a lot for the Orioles to retain him in 2018, and perhaps he will bounce back as he did in 2016.

But isn't getting "not much at all" better than not getting anything?  I'll take a lottery ticket or two for him.

Let's see what his next start looks like. I never underestimate the stupidity of GMs at deadline.

If I need a #5 I'd give up not a lot for him if he continues to pitch fairly well.
