That is a direct product of mlbs practice of giving all these guys guaranteed contracts. That is the only reason he is still on a major league team.
O’s fans have wanted him gone for a while but that albatross of a contract makes it extremely difficult to dump him.
with the "my careers been over for several years" production too.
They got burned twice on first basemen named Davis. Glenn was even worse because in addition to the money they paid him they gave up 3 guys who were or became really good major league players.
Angelos got suckered by Boras to sign that deal. Do t know why he bothered when nobody else was even bidding.
As long as it counts towards a year off his contract, I really don’t care. Just sucks that we can’t put Mancini there this year.
They would get more value for their dollar if they were paying me instead of him. I literally don’t impact the team, he brings negative value
Probably our worst trade, or one that I could think of at the moment.
curt schilling? wasnt he in that davis deal?
Yeah that is pretty bad. I knew he underperformed what they were paying him but I didn't remember they gave up all those guys that ended up having a lot of success.
Schilling, Harnisch, Steve Finley. Pretty good haul for the Astros
That would be the smart thing to do
Him, Steve Finley and Joe Orsulak I believe.
I was thinking it was Orsulak instead of Harnisch. I knew Orsulak had left around that time as well.
