Dang and I really thought they had a shot at him.

I guess it's time for plan B, Darvish and Arrieta.

You had better switch to plan C. Darvish and Arrieta won't becoming to Baltimore either.

There is no way we are in on any significant pitcher at this cost. It won't be much longer and we will have to give Tillman 10 mil just to fill out the rotation as a last resort.

This team has to get better at developing it's own starting pitching immediately, the cos of FA pitchers is through the roof.

Tillman is not my idea of pitching improvement. If it costs 10 million to sign him. Then the cost is getting out of hand.

Rather than waste money on some mediocre or washed up pitcher maybe it's time to promote a couple AAA arms from our team.

We’ve seen them.

5 years ago we signed Jiminez to a 12 million a year contract.  A guy no other team wanted.  Now we don't want to pay a guy who could be productive 20 million a year?  

We would rather over pay for a guy who will be terrible than to pay a little more for a guy who could be good.  Only in Angelos' mind is this logical.

I doubt Angelos picked Ubaldo Jimenez.

Some of those names are out of options.

Good.

Apologies if it has already been said, I did not read the whole thread. But would it not take a $20 million a year offer to be what it takes for the Orioles, specifically the Orioles, to sign him anyway?  Even if that wasn't his market...  

This offseason sucks.

Alex Cobb is asking for a contract starting at 20 million a year.  Never mind the years. Roch says "No way."

The Orioles were never in!

[Camden_yardbird]

Said it from the beginning.  People were wondering if we could get him on a $60 contract...yeah right.he will not get what he is asking for but he will be over $90 million.

I'd still be surprised if he gets $20M/year. It's possible, but I wouldn't go there. I would've loved Cobb in this rotation. I think he would have been a perfect fit, but...alas. Does Lynn's market get this high, too?

In the end, I expect a Jason Vargas and Chris Tillman. (Wouldn't be surprised by an Andrew Cashner. His smoke and mirrors act with a good ERA screams Gallardo).
