you're probably right... unless he absolutely destroys spring training pitching (and even maybe if he does) he should probably spend at least the first 2 months at AAA.

It really doesn't matter what he does in spring training (good or bad). There is no logical reason for Weiters to be here until after the full season service time deadline.

3 weeks in April 2008 are utterly worthless compared to the entire 2015 season.

Anyone else see a potential red flag here?

Yeah, he said if "it" makes sense to us. What did he mean by "it?" And, he said came "back" to us. Shouldn't it have meant "forward" to us or "toward" us? Or, maybe we don't really need to be trying to figure out what the meaning of "is" is every time Andy opens his mouth. :rolleyes:

I don't think Boston would know we get last crack. I think he would go to Boston and ask "what is your best FINAL offer", and then relay that to Baltimore to beat it if they want to.

If I'm Boston, I'd make that number ridiculously high and then if Baltimore doesn't match, withdraw the offer.

I wish they would put the full court press on, take Boras and Mark out and roll the "Orange Carpet" out. Yesterday Roberts said that he hadn't made a call but he'd love for Tex to sign. You know what, make the call then, baseball players are in a fraternity, so show him that you care and want him to play for the O's Roberts.

I know we don't know everything that is going on behind the scenes but I sure wish the players would get involved in the courting process.

There is some sort of tampering rule in there somewhere. The Yankees are going through it right now concerning a phone call that Damon made to Burnett...

Btw...Where do you suppose Boras is?

I really appreciate when you post here, the problem is I can't tell when you're giving info and when you're asking a legitimate question.:D

Also, just want your opinion: How high do you think we should go for Tex? Not asking what you think we might do, just your opinion.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
