They should bring back Tony Batista and his spread eagle stance.
By Grabthar's Hammerwhat a savings.

He's 36 and is demanding a pretty big contract coming off a down year where he was hurt. If I'm an O's fan, I don't want to be saddled with that, especially with Machado's arbitration years coming up and only 2 more years to FA.

should be a fun team to watch again.

I feel they've taken a step back, and expect them to be middle of the pack in the AL East. I hope I'm surprised, though.
That'll put
marzipan in your
pie plate,
bingo!

what's your take on the jays for the coming year?

any mark trumbo news?
I was really hoping the Jays would sign him a year ago, figured he was a low risk/high reward guy

agree about the pitching.
in addition to hammel, heard doug fister is a possibility too.

It's too hard to predict how well they will do, but I think they will be enjoyable to watch and follow. They never did address the pitching rotation and I'm not sure an answer is available at this point. I know Jason Hammel is still out there, but is there any other decent starters still on the market? I dunno.
The bats should be pretty active again!
Let's Go Orioles!!!

i'm ready, i like the o's chances in the al east this year. you?
i think the jays are doing down!

Ohhhhh!
That's too funny. I think both players and fans are anxious for the 2017 season.
Pitchers & catchers report soon.

yep, mancini looks like a prospect for sure.

Thanks for the link.
maybe it's a shift away from the purely homer based o?
Possibly, but have they replaced those runs with OBP yet? It's still early to tell, as Duquette likes those February deals. Losing Weiters, Trumbo AND Alvarez seems like too much. I guess it depends on Trey Mancini and Chris Davis.
There's still so many variables, it's hard to believe that pitchers and catchers report in a matter of weeks.

Not that I've heard. I'm surprised that he hasn't been grabbed by someone yet. The Gallardo trade has apparently freed up a bit more money to help him to return to the Birds, but I haven't heard of any progress.
I wouldn't mind seeing him back at the Yard.

any mark trumbo news?
Season's Greetings!

Feel free to overpay for him to act like a jerk in Chicago. As a O's fan, I'm delighted with their decision and subsequent statement - whether it's true or not.

I don't know that it's speculation, Dan Duquette actually said that was the reason they didn't sign him.

Speculation
Relax, all right? My old man is a TV repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it!
