Until Angelos inevitably low-balls him. You know it's coming.

Looks like ELIAS is the guy.

That is a homerun pick and exactly what Baltimore needs.

I am just waiting for them to screw it up somehow by something so small and petty in Angelos fashion.

The sons are forward thinking modern owners, but they still fear the old man will do something and ruin their work.

Same here. I hope that Peter actually leaves things well enough alone and lets the sons run the franchise. And if they do, here's hoping that they stay out of the way and let Elias do his thing. Now, we need a manager and I have no clue on where to start for that search.

Good pick there for the Orioles. I've always had a soft spot for them, hoping they turn it around.

eh. The Son's have started to take a more active role in the Organization. This also should end the Orioles outright ignoring the Latin American Market which has always handi-capped their farm potential.

We're going to be really horrible for at least 3-4 years. Hopefully we can have a few good drafts like the Astros did and become a good team again. Next up will be trying to find a manager. I'm hoping that it'll be someone that can help the young players grow since there won't be any expectations of winning for a while. Who that is, I have no clue.
Now if he can find a way to dump the albatross contract of Chris Davis, I'll officially consider him a miracle worker.

 

[tducey]

Yeah, that Davis deal was a bit much, guy had a great yr. or 2 but then he fell back. No offense but I doubt he would find a taker for that contract.

Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson believes Manny Machado is going to have to show some hustle if he wants to play for the New York Yankees.

The famous former Yankee offered his thoughts about comments made by Machado during the 2018 postseason when the free agent said he was "not the type of player that's going to be Johnny Hustle."

"I can't understand a player saying that. That ain't going to play here," Jackson said to Wallace Matthews of the New York Daily News. "I was a pretty good player and I ran hard every single at-bat. It takes talent to run fast, but it doesn't take talent to run hard. Effort is the least we can ask of ourselves."






When this guy is calling you a dog, you might have some problems.

By the way, Reg, you loafed it with the best of them.

Good deal for the Yankees. Traded for some overrated garbage.

He has yet to make 30 starts in the bigs, but hard to see a downside. The more I watched Sheffield, the more he looked like a future bullpen arm.

Now sign Corbin and call it a winter.
