Man are they going after Bowden for not getting the draft pick compensation right. 

They should. It's basically the crux of his argument and calls into question the legitimacy of his claim. I can buy they're all waiting for them to accept 3-year deals, but it makes it a moot point for them to be waiting for them to accept deals under $50M.

Remember most teams are scrapping for decent starts from #5. Not a given ours are much worse (tho they were last year). 

(It’s worth pointing out that the manner in which that report frames draft compensation is inaccurate; the draft/international penalty for signing any of Arrieta, Cobb or Lynn is not tied to that $50MM figure, but a deal of $50MM or more would improve the compensation for the teams losing those players.)

He is an awful human. A criminal. Why folks listen to him is beyond me. 

Come on Weams, tell us how you really feel!  :D   I did some quick googling....didn't realize all that about him.

His lack of prison time for what he did always bothers me, It's why you still have stuff like the Boston and Braves things going on.

Taking advantage of the young and impressionable is pretty awful.

Lol, I saw that.  He' isn't the sharpest tool in the shed sometimes, but I don't doubt that he has legitimate sources.

So it’s looking like the competition is between these teams,

Phillies

Brewers

Cardinals

Nationals

Angels

Mariners

Opening Day is 3-4 weeks away. I guess they are waiting for an injury to make a team desperate. We’re competing against a bunch of NL teams and teams in the AL that play a lot in big ballparks.

If we got one of Cobb or Lynn (Arietta isn’t happening) I would have a completely different feeling about our offseason. Go get em Dan.

I got a better chance of winning the lottery every day for ten years than P.A. or D.D. signing anyone of the 3.

No, of course not. Jake is not going to willingly come here and face the constant interview questions about the time when he sucked as baseball. He'll have to both revisit a bad time of his career and somehow tip toe around blaming the Orioles, who are quite obviously to blame.

I would think Roch et al. would "play ball" and not ask those questions if Arrieta asked that they refrain from doing so. But that is not to imply that I think he would sign with the team.

I agree. No chance Roch asks the hard questions. He's a good guy, bu he he's a Peter Angelos shill.

Bold statement.   I think its about 40/60 that we sign Lynn or Cobb.  Prices are dropping, Orioles have obvious rotation holes.  Kinda getting into DD's wheelhouse.  But still, lower than 50/50 because Orioles.

Thanks for posting. Just my 2 cents, but I think the Nats are out. I'm sure that means they'll sign one today since I said that, but my opinion is that we can scratch them off the list.

  Really I am tired of waiting for these guys to sign.  

Maybe in the next collective bargaining agreement they should have some free agent deadline where you can't sign free agents between March 1st and May 1st.

      i still like that winning your division matters, at least a little bit.  So I think there's a happy medium between how unbalanced it was, and what you are suggesting.  13 games vs each division team feels right to me, but there are going to be years where that skews the WC thing a bit, because there's always one really bad team, it seems, somewhere (not always as bad as the ChiSox, of course).  I'm not sure how else to further balance it.  Maybe cut back on the NL stuff a bit and play more games against your non-divisional conference rivals so at least there's more head to head to base the WC on.

      Apparently this post of mine from one year ago killed this thread, as it was the last before today's bump.  In re-reading that, I am reminded (by a past version of myself, LOL) of why I love this sport.  It was actually a bit invigorating reading that back to myself.  LETS GO BIRDS!

      I've found the older I get, the less interest I have in watching my teams lose. It's a waste of time so I find something else to do. Watching my team lose is not enjoyable so I'd rather do something I'd enjoy. It's not like I'm that old either, just 47. I get a lot more enjoyment out of watching good games with other teams, to be honest. Watching the Bills in the first half last night was fun. The Redskins/Bengals game was fun to watch. Man City and Arsenal on Sunday was great. The Chiefs/Falcons game was a good game. There were a few decent college football games this last weekend as well. I'll watch the game to start tonight and if the O's are down 3-0 after the 1st inning, I'll find something else to do, probably watch some of the other MLB games that have playoff implications.

      It will be interesting to see if there is any carry over from the HBP's culminating in Heston's beaning.  Hate to say it but that's around when the .500 play started, now much worse.  I did like the way HK stared down Holmes after being hit-I think this series will mean a little more to him.

      It’s O’s and Yanks. Good guys versus bad guys. Baby Birds up against the Evil Empire — and another trip to the post-season is in the cards. I’ve been cheering for the O’s and very specifically against the Yanks going on six decades, and I’m getting good at it. So, yeah. I’m fired up. Now ask me about hopes and dreams. I don’t think this Orioles team is going to make a run to WS this year.  They have scuffled, they have failed — but I’m reminded, even in the platinum age of data — baseball is still a game of failure.  And man, runners in scoring position over the last week, I’m not sure I want to know that number. They’re still my guys. As long as they’re in it, so am I.
