The Rays bullpen is STACKED. Get 5 solid from your starter and then you've got Bell McGee Peralta Balfour. If this team can score enough runs look out this year.

Great for him! I know that the atmosphere for him won't be as electric as in Oakland when he takes the field, but in my view, he got screwed by the Orioles. Great to see him get a job.

o's are supposedly making progress on Rodney . they also say the o's are expected to make 1 more move before spring training . per roch update on his balfour article

The O's will look absolutely stupid with Balfour not only in the division but pitching well for a Rays team that should contend for the AL East title. Not that Baltimore has been a desired destination for FA over the years but you can count on no elite FA ever coming to Baltimore while Angelos owns the team. The Balfour debacle put his stamp on that and this is VERY unfortunate for O's fans.

Apparently they are pulling the same "problem with the physical" crap with Tyler Colvin that they did with Balfour.

I really hope that Balfour shuts the O's down EVERY SINGLE TIME he faces them this season. The team is obviously content with 4th or 5th, but this would just be like rubbing shit in the face of Angelos...which would put a smile on my face

Sadly, I don't think Angelos gives a shit one way or the other. But like yourself, I do hope Balfour eats them up every time he goes out.

At some point, fans have to say "enough is enough." Is it time to root for 0-162 (or at least bring anti-Angelos signs to home games) yet?

Well, I don't want 0-162. I've been a fan since I was a kid back in the '80s and like everyone else here, I want to see them succeed. But, I don't think we'll see anything positive until Angelos is gone. I'm all for those signs at home games though.

I think DH position and 5th starter are bigger holes for this team than the closer position.
$15 million/2yrs is a lot for someone who had inflated stats playing in Oakland's stadium.

There are still plenty of free agents the O's can lowball.
