I can’t imagine him taking it, but it’s basically a steal if he’s all the way back or an albatross if he’s not. I think taking a chance on...
Much better that money goes into cranes pocket. Glad we got that settled.
Exactly. They are going to be good for a long time, as they should, just like the dodgers.
Yep. Position players that aren’t old typically are fine coming back from injury. He doesn’t have to be great in April, just September or October....
Exactly. It’s not a path every market or owner can take, but it’s absolutely the right path for the richest owner in the game in the biggest...
He’s worth 20B and he’s a fan boy. It’s a sustainable as he wants it to be. But he’s already said he’s committed to rebuild the minors and this is...
I’ve never said we should spend money for the hell of it. I’ve said we should spend money reasonably to improve the team. Would I offer him 4/80...
If there weren’t unknowns he’d be signed right now for 6/125 or something like that.
I’m sure you will find that sentiment if you went to, checks notes, a Baltimore oriole fan board.

Yep. And for another 20M this year, next year and 13M the year after we would be better than we were last year without any long term hindering of...
They don’t cost anything in resources and represent very real improvements from what we had. On 2 and 3 year “small” money deals.
Not even close. And the entire point of what my point was is that he is, like crane, taking over for an incompetently run organization. He’s had...
Yes gaping. We went 3/43 at the DH position last year and that was with 2 guys with a better track record than what we brought back. Our solution...
And listening to him he’s not going to touch his farm system to improve the big league club because he knows that’s his ticket to sustainability...
I’m not asking them to spend to spend. I’m asking them to spend to plug two gaping holes in a lineup that they are completely aware of, situations...
Another brilliant post. And my point when I said I’m merely holding crane to the standard he set for himself. And he was completely right in his...
