Here is a recent post from the Baltimore Sun

http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/blog/2010/12/os_in_serious_talks_with_twins.html

This sounds like a great deal as long as the two prospects are AA or below. I am not a fan of giving up AAA and Major League talent for a one-year rental. Hardy would be a nice fit in Baltimore and if he can stay healthy, this could be a very good trade. Get this deal don Andy!

Uh yeah, sorry.

Don't be sorry, it was a hilarious typo. If you were Jewish, would you have offended yourself with that typo? Ba-ba-bing:wedge:

I pray that this deal gets done. I could live with Luke at 1B, Pie/Reimold in left, Hardy at SS, and Reynolds at 3B as a complete off-season if they re-sign Uehara and bring in one more reliever. They could bring up AAA guys for relief if they really need it.

Ha, true point. Yeah I really hope it gets done too. Wouldn't mind that really if Luke looks like he can play 1B. I think this could be a fun 2011 season really.

Sounds like a butterfly stitch over a 3 foot gash to me. Guys, is this all we can expect this offseason are players that were never wanted from their former team? We have not made one sign yet. Please quit stroking MacPhail's ego, or we'll never sign anyone. The front office had to fill holes with someone that has played in the majors, and that is all they have done. This guy's best year came from a team in the National League. Added with the strikeout king we've already added, I don't see anything that resembles an improvement yet. Lee, Laroche, Vlad , Thome , or bust. You can't build a team with smoke an mirrors.

Who do you want playing SS this year for the O's?

How many more wins do you think the Orioles would get with LaRoche and Scott at first and DH vs Scott and Reimold at 1st and DH?

To steal a line from Harbaugh, if you don't think Reynolds and Hardy are an improvement over Bell and Izzy, then you don't know baseball and you should go root for another team!

I assume you agree we need an upgrade at SS...Who do you expect AM to get?

If he lands Hardy, we just obtained the best SS option left on the market this year.

But apparently one can post and expect to be taken seriously with them.

So we shouldn't try to improve at SS? You're happy with Izturis?

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By milbest77 · Posted

      I have to think something is going on behind the scenes. They look like they have just quit. Hyperbole, I know, but I wonder if there is anxiety over new ownership wanting their own people in the FO? Before you all tear me apart, IT’S JUST AN OBSERVATION!

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Some don’t like this quote from Hyde but this kind of goes back to what the hitting coaches are saying. The coaches (if we are to believe them) are preparing these guys but once they get in the box, things are changing. This is all mental with these guys. It is time for them to relax and start having fun again. They need a players only team meeting and get themselves loosened up.

      I doubt it is normal, though I’m sure that well more than half the pitchers who pitch for any particular team were not drafted by that team.   Teams use so many pitchers these days, and there are so many pitchers who cycle around the league off the waiver wire.

      Couple of things about what Mike said: 1).   Grayson will not start during the regular season.    Time has run out to build him up.   That means Burnes, Eflin. Suarez, Kremer and Povich the rest of the way if they can stay healthy.   Maybe Grayson as an opener or a reliever in the playoffs. Coulombe  as early as Friday.  I am guess either Smith or Kimbrel go. Westy and  Urias  on rehab  in the next few days.   Getting these guys back could be a  big mental boost for the team.  What level of performance they will be able to produce coming off a layoff is another things.      I would think Mayo and Holliday are optioned. Mountcastle is swinging but his wrist is still sore.   Where that goes in anyones guess.   If he comes back Jimenez will not be needed. 2).  When Mike says this has been a winning team for that last two years and he believes they can get back to that,  to me he is not just talking about the team.     He is talking about himself.    This is the first time Mike has experienced things not going the way he planned to this degree.    Quite frankly his looks a little shell shocked.    The pitching having troubles with injuries is reality to him.  Pitchers get hurt.    But his offense going from 5 runs per game in the first half  to almost zero is shocking to him.   He did not see that coming.  Adley, and O'Hearn were supposed to step up when needed.   Instead they took a step back.  None of Holliday, Mayo, or Kjerstad being able to help in the 2nd half was not the way this was planned.    Here is hoping the Westy, Urias and Kjerstad can help real soon.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      This board is smart enough to realize that the grass isn't always greener. The only way I see Hyde on the hot seat is if we miss the playoffs completely, which still feels very unlikely. Even then, I doubt he'd be fired during the offseason, but maybe. But then what? I don't think you give Buck Britton a shot at this roster. He's doing his thing and doing it well at AAA helping to develop guys. Could bring back Buck Showalter or Joe Girrardi, those sound like fun names. Or better yet, I bet everyone here with a torch and a pitchfork has their own little crystal ball with a short list of candidates ready to catch lightning in a bottle.

      The 4-run deficit was surmountable if we had more than one player who can hit the damn ball.   Kimbrel giving up six runs in the 9th may turn out to be a blessing.
