We have had very little interest in Crawford. So if you guys have heard something about the Tigers getting him do share

According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, the Diamondbacks are "looking hard" at free agent first baseman Derrek Lee.

It seems like Baltimore is in a permanent identity crisis. Are they rebuilding or not?

People are arguing that the ks are fine because he's not hitting into double plays but at the same point if he k's with runners on and 2 outs it ends the inning anyway so it doesnt matter. About the only thing I like about him is that I think he had 80 walks last year which would have led the Os, he had the 5th highest pitch per PA in the majors... Also from what Ive read, he doesnt want to come to Baltimore which sounds like a recipe for disaster. The Orioles are just trying to field a team that won't be as embarassingly awful as they were the first half of last year. 3B was definitely a major hole after the Atkins and Josh Bell experiments bombed and they didnt have anyone else in the system, and the same goes for 1B, SS. They have a lot of good young pitchers but they are not all panning out so it would be nice to have a decent veteran SP too. |

Adrian Beltre is 31 and has 1,889 hits. Wow, didn't think he had that many.
If he plays 7 more years and averages around 160, he can make it to 3,000. If he plays longer than that his odds of reaching that get even better. 3,000 seems to be automatic induction. Hard to fathom that Adrian fucking Beltre actually has a realistic chance of getting in. |

Don't see why not. They have a beautiful ballpark, nice uniforms, a young team full of talent, and Buck Showalter as Manager. If you're looking for the right fit, and not necessarily a contending team, then I don't see why you wouldn't go to Baltimore.

Averaging 160 hits every year for 7-8 years (in your 30s) would be hard for a player who has only done it a few times in their career to begin with.
He's more in the 140-150 range at best, and I don't think things are uphill for Adrian Beltre. Last year wasn't really something that's going to happen consistently. It was a nice spike year for a likey-over the hill steroid era player. |

Better than him going to the Phillies at least. Halladay-Lee-Oswalt-Hamels. I could be the 5th starter and it'd still be the best rotation in baseball.

A team source said it isn't happening.
Looks like this might have been more typical Winter Meetings bullshit where rumors are reported as facts. |

Looks like the Mets are gonna sign Ronny Paulino to be their backup catcher. Fine by me, he had great numbers against lefties. Nice compliment to Thole.
The main focus should still be to get a starter. Unfortunately Alderson said the price is steep right now at 1 year, $5 million for Chris Young and Jeff Francis. $5 million steep for a NY team? Christ. I knew they weren't going to spend much this offseason, but goddamn. Madoff really must have fucked the Wilpons worse that they're willing to admit. |
