Dan wants to reload, not rebuild

Sure, and the O's will likely be a laughingstock for years to come.

Hey remember when the O's let a 26 year old future hall of famer walk for a draft pick?  Haha!  Remember when they didn't want to sell low on Britton?  Haha!

I hope their demise is halted with succession of Angelos' progeny.

Would make no sense for Duquette to say we're going to rebuild going into his final contract year. If there is going to be a rebuild, someone else should engineer it. 

You are correct, sir.

What does the owner think? 

If he wanted a rebuild we could have one. 

[Il BuonO]

I love how the Orioles waited until the last game to set their season high in strike outs.

[Il BuonO]

That was awesome

I don't get the anger towards Dan. I mean I am suppose to believe the most powerful members of the organization -the owner and Buck- want a sell off but let's slam Dan. 

This is an organizational decision, not a DD one.

No anger. He has done a solid job of competing every year. But the team should rebuild and get return on Manny. If Manny is not re-signed, Duquette needs to be extended or bought out so we can let the rebuild happen.

"you don't rebuild in the AL East" Has DD seen what the Yankees and Red Sox did?

So a lame duck GM sets organizational direction?  I don't give a damn who the GM is, they are going for it. 

This decision lies with people above Dan in the hierarchy of the organization.

That's not exactly hard to do when you have an endless wallet to ease the growing pains for a fanbase. Neither of those teams completely tanked to rebuild. You don't need a firesale of Houston's proportions to remain competitive. This organization is not nearly in that kind of shape.

Pretty disgusting for the fans that paid money to see them in Tampa. Team quit as much as the Tigers.They at least we're losing their manager.Manny and Schoop and the boys didn't give two licks.Mancini tried and a few of the rookies.Hays front side leaks on off speed stuff.He needs to work in that or he will have difficulty in the majors

They did finish awful, it also will have zero impact on 2018.
