It's a moot point. Tillman won't be pitching in the Os minors. 

Agreed. Weams: do you think there is a realistic chance to get Dickey? Huge fan, I’d buy a jersey! It is so much fun watching a knuckleballer, I love it!

Let's take a page out of the Rays notebook and let the 5th starter be a bullpen matchup...except we go with a three headed beast. 3 innings of Dickey, 3 innings of Scott, 3 innings of Cortes. That'd mess with some timing.

Does anyone here think Dickey can't do better than a minor league deal with the Orioles?

He had a 100 ERA+ and was worth 2 wins last year.

He was a league average pitcher.

He made 7.5 million.

If you were a league average pitcher would sign a minor league deal with the O's?

"Where the ball hit him, I’m guessing that Sale will just have a bruise. But the way his knee twisted is something that needs to taken seriously. After Sale got up, he did grab his knee which indicates it could have a problem."

I think he is retired. Wouldn't you be at age 44?

I would be with 57M in career earnings.

You like Ubaldo but have had it with Tillman? Interesting.

I would not get rid of Tillman at this point, no. I think he has earned more patience than Ubaldo. I personally like Tilly and I am pulling for him.

We'll find out whether or not he is when that's been confirmed by him or his agent. I agree it's likely he WILL retire.

I’d argue the point with you, but I don’t feel like dwelling on the negative scenario.    The O’s gave Tillman a major league deal because they think he’s capable of being a major league pitcher this year.  I want Tillman to prove them right and make all the naysayers here shut the hell up.

Oh, I can certainly come up with an injury scenario that might prove you. But yeah.

Wow, passionate for you. I didn’t peg you for such a Tillman supporter.
