I like the $50M number better over 4 years than 3.

I like the fact that Cobb will be here to give the Orioles at least 4 legitimate starting pitchers way more than the number of years OR the amount of money.

 

If it's 3 years for $42 Million, fine. 

If it's 4 years for $52 Million, fine. 

If it's 4 years for $59 Million, fine. 

 

The fact that Cobb will be on the team this year (plus several more years) completely blows away any feelings that I have in regard to the details of the contract.

Is there still money in the budget for Greg Holland? 

That'd be dope!

It can't possibly turn out worse than the Ubaldo deal. Man, I don't think going for it is the right strategy long term, but if they are going to go for it, you couldn't ask for a better off season than Cobb and Cashner.

Castro's back in the bullpen now, I think the O's are unless you can get Holland on the cheap.  

I don’t think we need Holland. Plus, where would our 3 Rule 5’s fit?:)

Pretty much.  And I think Colby Rasmus and Danny Valencia are sneaky good signings too.

Ubaldo was erratic his whole career. Cobb isn’t exactly an innings eater so...both attributes will probably not change.

Oh yeah forgot about those guys, need to stash them in long relief.  Lord know they'll be needed with Tillman in the mix.

Does Castro have options?

I’m going to leave the twitter posting to you guys. Last trade deadline I was duped by the fake ken rosenthal and was banned for a week. Haha

I don’t know which is more sad?

Agreed with this 100% 

Just need a bounce back from Davis/Trumbo and we're in business.

Mind blown.

My guess it is for 4 years, somewhere between $48 Million and $52 Million.

I feel inclined to blow my mind, get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun .........

Update: According to an industry source, the deal with Cobb would cover four years, a surprise given their stance at the Winter Meetings.
