If they go 5 million per for this guy, I'm going to scream. Brandon Webb just signed for 3 million. This would be a horrendous waste of money, IMO. Could be wrong. I've just seen us urinate away so much cash through the years on exactly this type of pitcher - a good but not great reliever. No thankee.

At least you know you'll get something out of Gregg. Webb was throwing in the low 80's last I heard, and he got 3M. Could be a complete waste.

Can someone please explain to me why all these posters are saying they'll judge how good the deal is once they see how much they paid him. Why in the world would that matter to any fan?? It's not like the O's are going to raise ticket prices drastically based on how lousy they have been for over a decade.

And two million either way is not going to change it that much. We did not just sign Beltre for $96 mil.

Money spend on Gregg is money that can't be spent somewhere else. Simple as that.

Either other teams only wanted to give him a 1 year deal at less money or the Orioles told him he could be their closer for 2011.

So, you're saying that he picked the team that offered him:

More money, or

More money over more years, or

a more significant role.

Gee, how did you figure that out with so few clues? :D

How do you figure?:confused:

"They" are saying maybe 2/10 or so for Gregg. That is probably a few million over market value. But we got a solid BP arm, and save a draft pick. And it will take a few years before we would know if that draft pick is potentially any good.

      USA Today Panel picks Orioles last in AL East

      As in, another instance and you'd want him gone? Elias and the FO are building a foundation that will enable them to be a team I haven't witnessed in my lifetime - a consistent competitive team. I have 100% confidence in the process of the FO. Will every decision pan out? Of course not. But has the FO helped the organization more than any other FO in my lifetime? Without a doubt. My much greater concern is that Elias, Sig, et al leave because another organization realizes how valuable they are.

      Opening Day Is a 3:05 gane start at Csmden Yards.They  are going to open the gates three hours before the game?  Have not heard this but you may be right. Fenway which usually does an 11/2 gate opening ,is doing a 2 hour gate opening for Opening Day.

      Don't see a final roster posted yet.  If so, I missed it.

      It’s mostly about the pitching (2023 version)

      On balance I think it's fair to expect the improved rotation and regressed bullpen will even out, so pitching overall for the team will remain about the same. Meanwhile the hitting should definitely improve!

      At 76.5 I'll take the over on the O's and pass on betting their place in the standings.  While I'm pretty upset with this past off season, I'm not quite ready to grab a pitchfork.  Given that Westburg and Cowser and several others could all be ready to contribute soon, Elias should have a fair amount of flexibility at the trade deadline.  Was that his strategy all along?  Beats the heck out of me, but if that's the case and we sit and watch another failure to launch (liftoff v2.0 anyone?) then most of the goodwill I have toward him evaporates overnight.  Bottom line?  The 2022 O's earned a bigger investment than they've received so far but it's not too late to fix it.

      Minor League CBA Now Signed

      By yark14 · Posted

      MLB and the newly-unionized minor leagues just struck a new CBA.  Doubles AAA salaries with even bigger raises for the lower minors.  Now minor leaguers *almost* make a liveable wage.

      I won't lie, I'm very concerned about not having Tate in the bullpen for a month or 2. Tate was our most reliable reliever. Hyde could always count on him to get the job done. I thought Givens could fill the gap, but now Givens is injured too. Someone is going to have to seriously step up for the bullpen. I'm also convinced that Tyler Wells has a limited number of innings he can be effective. We've seen what happened last year once he got beyond a certain threshold. (He got injured.) I think that after a couple months, we might see either Voth, Baumann, Hall, or Rodriguez take some starts in that rotation spot. Who it is, depends on how Rodriguez and Hall are doing in Norfolk. If one of them is dominating, that's who will get the call.
