Might as well sign Ervin Santana, too.

i think that will happen if he drops his price

Even at his current price he is a steal. You lose like a 3rd round pick and get a good pitcher for 4/$50MM which considering what starters are going for is now quite a bargain.

Santana in Camden Yards > 45 HRs

i say if we cant get santana then definately get saunders for that 5th spot.better than norris.

I still would like to get Drew and put him at second base rather then signing Santana
Although, that notion is losing a lot of steam with me.
Plus, the fact the O’s haven’t even been remotely linked to him.
As for Santana, what is wrong with this guy? Why doesn’t he try to work out a deal with the Royals. The Royals need another starting pitcher, unless one of their kids (minors) is ready to rock n’ roll.
Saunders did an admirable job for us late in 2012. I just don’t see how he fits with us.
Plus, I would rather see Britton get the 5th spot. If the O’s trade him, it would be disappointing because I really think he is going to bloom and if he’s going to bloom, it should be with us!

Number of games Drew has played at 2B in his 8 year major league career: 0

I read they had a scout at the other Santana’s workout. If we sign Johan to a minor league deal I think that would be the best bet and cheapest. That way we can use the savings on a Hardy extension and it doesn’t force the O’s to have to get rid of Britton necessarily. I just dont see Pete being ok with a payroll of over 130mil which is what it would probably be if we sign Ervin and extend Hardy.

What do you all think would be a fair contract for Hardy at this point in his career? I’m thinking something in the neighborhood of 5 years $60 million.
We would then have him locked up till his age 36 season at $12 mil per…I’d like to see that contract finalized.

If he signed Saunders, wouldn’t he be basically getting another Bud Norris, whom they are now considering trading?
