ground outs Baez? is that the best you can do?

[LAOSfan]

I like Flat Breezy as much as anybody, but Baez will be the closer by June.

A friend of mine just texted me that if he keeps this up, the O's should make him the closer.

Danys "Mow em Down" Baez

[isestrex]

Um... Baez for closer anyone?

[mrbig1]

That is a statement that would force you to abandon all credibility forever a few days ago. But he does look solid so far.

Your friend is a smart dude.

[RShack]

How long will Baez have to do well before the Baez-haters change their minds?

Frobby had to remind me that Baez did very, very well when we first got him, before he was hurt. I had forgotten that, I thought he was hurt-and-lousy the whole time.

[El Gordo]

I thought Baez had no business being on the team? Weren't we supposed to release him? :laughlol:

For trade bait purposes, this makes sense, and I've advocated for just that in the past.

Also Baez does have a clause in his contract that gives him more money if he wins the Rolaids award...

[RShack]

I thought Baez had no business being on the team? Weren't we supposed to release him? :laughlol:

Only a couple Make-believe GM's thought so... the Real GM didn't...

[Tank]

Lol just because he might hypothetically become the closer at some point during the season doesn't mean hes going to win the Rolaids award.

[Skeletor]

We're 2-1 and looking good to go 3-1. The last thing I want to think about right now is trading someone who's performing.

[Scrat1]

Scott looks a little bit uncomfortable at the plate right now.

[The Rick]

So I just got back in the country yesterday and missed quite a bit--is Guthrie going for us tomorrow? Or do none of us really know?
