I'm pretty sure this is SOP for most teams. You make it sound like most deals are done with a phone call in a day. This isn't how it works. They have teams of people involved and get input from everyone, it's not a one man show for the O's and probably 99% of the other teams.

I think you're correct. I watched a roundtable discussion a couple of years ago of about 6 active GM's and they all talked about the constant texts exploring deals. I think it's SOP in today's market.

Makes me want to look into hacking, lol. It's a joke.

Nice. I actually think Grayson could be a dark horse candidate. Any of our top 3 could win it honestly. 

Of course, there will be stiff competition with Cole and all those Mariner studs. Can't wait for the season to start, it's going to be a long spring.

First time I've gone through one of Lance B.'s videos.    I liked the editing showing 2 each of the various pitches to LH/RH bats.

 

Thanks. That is excellent video. Had to add that guy to my subscribed list.

Apologies if this has been posted already.

Ortiz has only played 1 game and gotten 2 AB.  Hall has not pitched yet.  Interesting to follow these two and Hernaiz.

Thanks for this. I was actually thinking earlier while browsing the message board that I wanted to follow Hall and was thinking about looking up his stat page.

I am using the player follow feature on the At Bat app to follow Hall and Ortiz. I like the trade but I also liked both of those players and am sorry to see them go.
