I don't expect anything Olympian anymore, but I wonder what kind of powerful bat out there, left-handed or otherwise, you guys feel the Orioles should pursue.

Do you think Ibanez is worth a look, atleast as maybe a DH? (Assuming the Orioles could lure him.) Or is he maybe a little long in the tooth? Part of me likes having a 'DH-by-committee' as it helps players rehabbing from injury still play in the game without the full rigor of playing in the field.

I think the big bats are already in place. The O's need some bullpen depth (if not a closer) and hitters who can get on base.

ALL. OF. THEM. :lol:

Seriously, it seems like management is looking for left-handed bat(s). I'm not sure if that's on par with acquiring a "big bat" per se, but if that's what Dan and Pete are apparently looking at, I'm just wondering who they're looking to pull in.

Baltimore Orioles executive VP Dan Duquette is dropping hints he will not be making a big splash at the winter meetings, at least regarding a pitcher.

Tell us something we didn't already know...

well lets see tilly , gonzo , chen , Norris that is 4 then as a 5th starter gausman , matusz , britton , tj , gamboa if he stays and I think he will get a shot spring training . we have added bp arms . Stinson or one of the listed above could move to longman plus bundy could be a bp arm close to the end of the season . unless it is colon no ty .
I do like maybe adding a rajah davis and raul Ibanez . a lot goes back to a healthy Nolan and the law of avg has to catch up with him sooner or later lmao :L

Well, Trumbo would have been very nice tucked in behind Davis.

^That's awesome. Had a feeling before the season started that Trumbo would have a positive effect on this team.

Score 1 for DD for getting one over on Mariner's GM DiPoto, who traded the guy twice. (Once as Seattle's GM and once before as the Angel's GM)
