yet another hopefully good move for the Cubs
just dont understand them stockpiling pitchers(recieved in trades)
in the last year..they have way too many. dont get it
hopefully will get us something good.

The Cubs need to stockpile pitchers.

The ones they usually think are going to be Roger Clemens-like studs turn out to be busts usually. Maybe they'll hit paydirt once every ten years.

eh, you shouldn't worry. the o's have been getting rid of good picthers like it's their job. i haven't heard anything about that prospect, but if history's any teacher, he'll be solid.

Who is going to pitch for them next year?? Again just like last year when they traded for sosa they are ignoring their big problem and getting people who are descent utility players but they need a pitching staff

outstanding question.

the only thing they've done as far as pitching is ditching ponson, right?

i swear, it drives me freaking crazy. i like mike flannigan. but goddamn. everybody's known for a LONG TIME that the o's need pitching.

I think you have something to work with with some of their young arms...

their isn't a GM in baseball that doesn't want Bedard...

eh...the young guys better be. the rotation sucked last year, and we've done nothing to improve it.

and why i don't blame tejada. (and i'm not just saying that to score some B-12...)

lmfao...

just goes to show you what players will do NOT to play for Angelos these days...

sad really...this team really was one of the diamonds in the 80's and early 90's...

dude, how about konerko?

no offense to VA-Beach, but konkero turned down $5 million EXTRA, to play for the PIRATES, instead of the O's.

yeah, angelos has one hell of a taint!

Wait...

Konerko turned down 5 million extra to the Pirates? The O's?

He didn't sign with either...

he signed with the Sox...

I'm not sure what you are trying to say there...

I think it's funny...that he turned down more money to play with the Orioles...to play with the Sox...

when...before last year...literally...the year before last year...I don't think there were many free agents that wanted to play in Chicago because of their penchant for giving up...

I'm not an O's fan, but it is sad to see what Angelos has done to one of the class organizations in MLB (at least they were throughout MOST of my lifetime). He must have mentored Dodgers' ownership.

lmfao...

you know...he hasn't always been an idiot...Angelos...

I seem to recall him being considered a halfway decent owner...

and about Corey Patterson...

is this really a big deal?

You know what? I think you're right about how he was once perceived. At least, initially...a guy with tons of cash and looking to make a splash. One of my best friends worked in the scouting department of the O's for years and he finally left for another organization...said things were a mess in Baltimore.

This thread was about Corey Patterson? Oh, yeah...I forgot. LOL

Corey Patterson is a waste...and people still try to make him a lead off hitter...and his on base % is barely fucking .300...

this is the 2006 version of fucking Jose Offerman...with less bat...
