    Money may not be 100% gone if he's willing to take a buyout. Even 75% of his original salary is substantial savings for the Os. So I'd play him for a few months, and maybe he ends up hating it so much he would approach Elias about retirement. Since we won't be winning many games anyway, its wouldn't really affect the Os to much to stick him at DH at least part time which is usually a vet anyway. Of course that cant go on line indefinitely. At a certain point, MLB might get involved (at least behind the scenes) if Davis continues to be terrible and the O's keep playing him. But it could be a matter of who's willing to blink first.

    Nuttyahoo strikes again

    One benefit of living here, when the O's come out to play the A's, I can get close to the dugout for like $25 🙂

    What about for the EU to consider an extension? I can't see a withdrawal of article 50 ever passing parliament, so I think its rapidly approaching a point of no return for a Hard Brexit.

    Chance Sicso is destroying ST through 16 ABs he's 438/609/1796 with 4 HRs.

    What's the cutoff date to avoid a no deal? I assume its sometime before Mar. 29th.

    I'd consider 21/22 to be grown man and thats what they'd be going up against in the NCAA. Some guys reach their peak early. In HS we had a guy who was 6'5 280 pounds as a sophomore. Another who was 6'7 250 Amobi Okoye had just turned 20 when he went into an NFL training camp. Since this is a spring league, most HS graduates are going to be closer to 19 than 18.

    Look at how many NCAA players get drafted in the NFL, and start their rookie year and even make the pro bowl. Yet a few months prior to this, those same players were in college and at least scrimmaging against those same 18 year olds. College football teams don't have JV teams like high school because they see no need to separate players. Amobi Okoye had just turned 20 when he entered an NFL training camp. And it being a spring league, the would be more likely closer to 19, unless they leave high school early. I agree it would be tough for a 18/19 year old to make a pro roster even for a second tier league, particularly for positions like line, but I wouldn't entirely rule it out.

    If I were the EU, I would just cut bait if they can't get a deal done by the end of March. This has been dragging on for 2.5 years now, and the EU has been wasting time negotiating with the UK, when they could have spent time doing other things. The EU is the one holding the cards. They're a much larger economic power. The UK is the one who wants a change the status quo. When the UK exits, the EU won't be the first ones to put up trade or movement barriers. They've bent over backwards for an exit deal, to the extent of giving in to issues they said they weren't going to give in to, which then got shot down by British parliament. They lose face in any future negotiations with other parties if they give in anymore, as well as weakening the union.

    If Harper can maintain production. Otherwise that contract could end up being an albatross in a few years.
  11. DCSaints_fan
    Because if he declines, then he would have left $160 million on the table.
  12. DCSaints_fan
    I'm reading a full no trade clause. Of course Harper could always waive it, but then again he might not.
  13. DCSaints_fan
    I suspect the EU is going to tell the UK to go pound sand. Unless there is a drastic measure like a second referendum.

    Wish I could find good picture of the Norway-Sweden customs check border. Keep in mind, Norway isn't in the EU, but is in the single market (but not in the customs union, which kind of doesn't make sense, but does, its a long story) But the UK doesn't want to be in the single market or customs union (but somehow they want "access" according to one UK MP ) And they think they're going to get around not having a "hard" border between ROI/NI

    True, but I don't think there's ever been an event quite like a hard Brexit. On the other hand, I could also see Parliament salvaging a deal at the last second, if Labor defects and the Tories split like they did before. It could be they're just playing chicken with the EU. I can't see the EU budging much though, because if they make an exception for the UK, you would start see other countries demanding the same special deal, and the EU would implode and it would revert back to a simple FTA.

    Almost tempted to bet against the Sterling. But probably not a good idea for a trading neophyte.

    Let's hope the Yanks get Bryce who proceeds to pull a Chris Davis

    Some team is going find use for him as a 4th OF/DH/pinch hitter/utility. He's going to be way more valuable to a team that wants to make the playoffs and needs help in OF than the Orioles. Right now considering his defense, he's barely above replacement level, and given his age and likelihood of declining he might garner 2/16m, though I think a 1 year deal more likely. Edit: 2/16, or anything 8/year is probably way too generous for Jones. That would be if he's a +1-2 WAR Considering he's replacement level (0-1 WAR), he'd be lucky to get 5-6m/year, more likely 3-4m/year
  19. DCSaints_fan
    Its pointless to bring Jones back. He'd just be eating salary and blocking prospects.

    Best case scenario for this season, is that any of Cobb, Cashner, or Bundy start pitching really well and we can deal them to a team with a need for starting pitching. Gyvens and O'Day also might be worth something coming out of the bullpen. I don't think we have any position players that would garner anything at the deadline.. Trumbo a remote possibility.

    The only mystery to me is how long Chris Davis will last. Does he get out of Spring Training?

    If you put sausage in seafood gumbo, its basically a wet jambalaya

    Its not that crazy when you think historically, there was a draft because the Army (and sometimes Marines) needed alot of bodies. And then you have lots of nations (including the US) that used mercenary groups. Volunteer non-citizens (properly screened) are going to beat involuntary citizens. Its sort of like the French Foreign Legion, except the US doesn't segregate its forces like that.

    I bet May convinces the EU to kick the can down the road for another year or so. Not thats going to solve anything

    Not sure if you're disagreeing, but look at the Republican candidates who won the nomination in every election cycle since forever. All older white men. I think Romney was the youngest at the time he ran. 40-ish year old governor? Yeah, no. Edit: Can't believe I forgot about GWB. Still he was 55 when he ran/assumed office. For some reason I thought Romney was younger.
