More of these moves will be coming. I’ll try and get a full list of FA’s.

Wonder if they bring back Ripken again like they did last year at this time?

Ofelky is one of a very few Dominican guys who have come through our system.

I'm sure Peralta must be protected in the Rule 5 Draft.  He signed in 2013 and he's at least 25.

Might be a bidding war.

I doubt we protect him and I doubt he gets taken.

Any scenario which has them spending money is a good thing, right?

I've never been in favor of bad spending just to spend.

Five bucks spent on Ryan Ripken is five bucks they can't spend on a coach.

“You sign him.” “No, YOU sign him!”

The Nationals and the Orioles have both signed him, it's only fair someone else take a turn.

Reportedly throws mid 90's as a starter and wasn't bad in AAA as a starter.  That's an arm I think another team at least takes a look at as a bullpen piece.   I don't understand how Cespedes and Vespi need to be resigned.  Do they both qualify as 6-year minor league Free agents?

And we were worried about them being cheap this offseason!

He had a bad season at 1B by all standards, but if he moved to SS or 3B perhaps that would help cover up some deficiencies in his approach at the plate. I do think he should start next year in Bowie to regain his footing a bit..

I thought maybe you were joking and then I thought "maybe he's serious"?  Say it ain't so!

It’s all in the name.
