The Orioles where looking to budget about 95 million to payroll to the correct people in 2009 and as well in 2010 but there was really no one worth grabbing...
I'll give the Rockies any five of the following five choices for Garrett Atkins: Rick Schu, Norm Charlton, Allen Wiggins, Travis Taylor, Bam Morris... ... om...
#23? I thought we were a midlevel team... and check out Scott's beloved Cubs at #4, ahead of the Red Sox! Who woulda thunk it? Houston ahead of the Dodgers?...
The thing I don't likr about uggla. His offensive numbers are so good because he is a 2b. Move him to 1b or 3b and he is kind of average. But who knows maybe a...

Ok, you have successfully chased me away from Uggla, especially if he is going to cost a lot. We cannot afford a poor defense. On the other hand, how about...
... The Marlins consistently and successfully go after top prospects. When they develop and approach big-money time, they trade them for more top prospects....
Yeah, I was going to ask about his defense, but that was before I heard about his limited 3B experience. I hadn't really thought about his 2B defense, which,...
He has played third in his career - approaching 1000 games at 2nd, 288? at 3rd. He kicked Hanley Ramirez's ass because Ramirez wasn't trying to win.... Going...
Most sluggers strike out a lot. It sort of comes with the territory. And a case can be made that at 29. he might be hitting his stride, despite last year....
Uggla's a 2nd baseman with below average defense, range and speed. It would be a gamble putting him at 3rd. He's kinda like a slow Luke Scott without a glove. ...
Uggla is 29. He strikes out a lot - but has a pretty decent OBP. Given the consistent ~30 HRs and 90RsBI o er 4 years despite BA, I'd take it. ... -- Noel...
First of all, ever notice that MacPhail is always "laying the groundwork?" Why can't he ever just make a deal and come home instead of torturing us Hot Stove...
It's a money deal, as both are underpaid. We have nobody of similar salary to offer them without tapping into the Kiddie Corps, which is out of the question....
Lol. Hey, you wanna rid the world of al Qaeda? Start signing a few of their kids as MLB prospects. You'll see how fast we steal their young when their...
Word is the Orioles at the GM meetings this week laid the ground work for a trade for Marlins IF Dan Uggla. Uggla who plays 2nd can play 3rd about as good as...
hy do the O's continue to scarpe the barrel for players and expect the overall team to get better. Admittingly the back up catcher doens't mean all that much...
Right and even the original author was posturing. I mean I think his main reason for it making sense was salary. On Nov 12, 2009 6:31 AM, "joes06"...

If Jackson is available fr the price of Sherril,we should be all over it with a better offer. Notsure what happened down te stretch with Jackson but he was...
How interesting it would be for the Dodgers to get Jackson considering they were the ones that drafted him in the first place! ... From: ignacy_2000...
Who's this Teizeira guy? Or is he being confused with Al Jazeera, the up and coming minor league 3bman? ... Unless it's Teizeira or Arod or someone else who...

True. The flip side of the catcher coin is that first basemen grow on trees, but there are maybe half a dozen really good catchers in the majors at any given...
You could be right although I still have a feeling he will be a more elite catcher than he would an above average first baseman. Also keep in mind that it was...
