Pushing hard for Baldelli (but were unsuccessful)

[eastonguy]

Haha at this post in the commens on mlbtr:

Boston does like their funny named fourth outfielders though.

First Coco, now Rocco?

What's next? Crocco?

LOL

At least this one was fast and didn't take 10 or 12 different threads.

It was a mercy spurning... :laughlol:

[statman]

Considering Rocco's a native New Englander, it sounds like we'll be booing his red-socked behind unless he decides to go "Tex" on his homies.

Haha I like how "pulling a Tex" has found a way into Baltimore vernacular.

Baldelli is good, but I don't think he's a long term solution. I don't like his "illness" history either.

Baldelli would have been a nice surprise get but he's been talking with the Red Sox for awhile. I think he could have converted to the right handed first basemen pretty easily.

Man, this news opened and closed before I even saw it. I am not sure if I am happy or sad...:scratchchinhmm:

[Big Mac]

Baldelli would have been nice, but we don't need him.

Reimold LF

Scott DH

Huff 1B

The fact that the FO seems to think Huff can't handle 1B and that they seem to not even acknowledge the existence of Nolan Reimold are troubling to me.

Just saw on ESPN that Baldelli and the Sux will finalize deal tomorrow....according to Peter "Boston" Gammons. Sorry no link yet.

Ooops...missed it on page 4, my bad

The Comcast Center is one of the toughest places to play in the NCAA. And Maryland has some of the best fans, which makes it hard to win there.

They also haven't played anyone there this year.

I wonder how much the deal for Baldelli will come to. As a fourth OF, he's perfect, but I don't want that sort of production out of any corner spot. Defense would have been nice. Would rather see Reimold get a chance.

There you go.

[JTrea81]

Since this has turned into "Terp Talk" and Baldelli is signing with the Sux. Might as well lock this thread...

Richie Sexon come on down

[millartime15]

Next should be getting another pitcher or a 1B.

Please no, I can not believe AM is even considering a Hinske or Sexson.

Is he serious?

I mean come on, we have capable players in Reimold, Montanez, and Salazar.

The O's must have NO faith in Reimold what so ever. Why are they wasting their time. If they don't want him, trade him.

[Big Mac]

Richie Sexon come on down

Is this some kind of sick joke?

Signing Richie Sexson would be stupid and serve no short-term or long-term purpose.

Some things about this team just amaze me sometimes.
