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!

LOL.  Making a trade for a starting pitcher from a ton of depth of position player prospects is spending like drunken sailors?

No It is not.

Nor is it what I was referring to.

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 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.

[Three Run Homer]

We'll end up with Flaherty and Gallegos and we'll like it!

I'm a big fan of Westburg but I'd do that without hesitation.

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.

[Emory Eagle]

I say we end up with ERod bc he will be cheaper given his option (which is only downside risk for the acquiring team).

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.
