Huh? Not sure where you are getting that. I've never been against adding to the payroll.

Oh I know that, wasn't suggesting you are.  The poster you were quoting is very much against adding any payroll, even a little, and even when it makes sense.  You and I are typically on the samge page.

Ohh gotcha. Sorry, totally misread that!

I think Elias is chasing Gilbert, Bryce Miller and or Mitch Keller.

It seems more likely we wind up with one of Matz or Flaherty. I'd feel better about Lorenzen plus Alex Lange. 

Bryce Miller for Westburg.

We will wind up with Lorenzen and a reliever.   No guess on the reliever.   Lorenzen comes at the cost of prspect(s) in the 10-20 range.   Either one close to 10 or two closer to 20.

I haven't seen anybody else point it out but he's about 10 innings from his career high.  I'm not sure he solves what they're looking for.

He replaces Wells.  I’m not concerned with previous high innings like a guy is going to suddenly fall apart, unlike Wells who has a history of breaking down.

I'd have the same concerns with this guy as I do with Wells.

Once they get up into unchartered territory, I don't expect their arms to fall off, but I do worry about effectiveness.

I don’t.  As I said, Wells has a history.  You are going to have to worry about Bradish, Kremer, and GRod too.

What were you referring to?  Your post seemed to be responding to Greg's thread in general, not a specific post saying the Orioles should spend a lot of money. 

I was referring very specifically to this post here:

    • Mayo coming back from injury could have his debut in Baltimore delayed. 
    • Wasn't a huge fan of his swing for that last out today but coming in to pinch hit with 2 outs isn't easy.
    • Interpreting Malike's comment that way is theoretically possible, but I didn't take it that way--didn't feel that shade was being thrown on me at all. But thanks for the concern.
    • People are being a bit ridiculous with the holier than thou takes criticizing a little humor. I am not saying what happened couldn’t cause a significant concussion, but it would be a bit of a fluke if it did. Mullins barely hit him with the bat and he had a helmet on. The fact that it was in the back of the head did make him more vulnerable, but this wasn’t the type of thing you see and think he was lucky to be alive.  Guys have probably hit their heads harder on the top of the dugout or on the fence making catches.  And note this comes from someone whose son has suffered severe concussions and who is well aware of the dangers associated with them. In short, people need to lighten up a bit on guys like Roy.  It was a little gallows humor. 
    • Yeah, you read that wrong. LA2 is one of my favorite posters here and he knows it. No harm, no foul. If you aren't familiar with the game threads, it doesn't matter what the team is doing, people complain about it and people did make that same joke in the game thread long before Roy said it here. Game thread in summary - when the O's are not doing well, it's insufferable, when they are doing well, it's mildly less insufferable. There, that wasn't hard. I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume I'm throwing shade at people. I'll leave that up to you to do, you're really good at it.
    • Comp a. Like Gunnar, and beavers…
    • Wasn't Westburg a 2nd round draft pick?  It's a little early to judge last year's draft.
