Rosenthal’s Full Count Video: Orioles, Griffey, Braves

By Mike Axisa | April 24, 2010 at 5:46pm CDT

FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal has a new Full Count video up, so let's see what he has for us…

  • The Orioles will almost certainly be the first team to fire their manager this season, and both Bob Melvin and Bobby Valentine came up in past internal discussions. Bigger jobs are in store for Valentine, but Buck Showalter might also be a candidate. Rosenthal reminds us that the team doesn't have anyone in-house with prior big league managing experience. 
  • The Mariners expect Cliff Lee back on Friday and Erik Bedard back in four weeks, but the focus will remain on the offense and Ken Griffey Jr.'s .238/.289/.262 performance. Rosenthal says not to expect anything to happen with him anytime soon; Seattle has five Griffey-centric promotions scheduled for the first half.
  • The Braves are a logical landing spot for Adrian Gonzalez, but they're also very high on first base prospect Freddie Freeman. The last time they traded for a first baseman with a year-plus left on his contract, they basically rebuilt the Texas Rangers.
  • The Nationals made a run at Jermaine Dye and had more than one conversation with Gary Sheffield's agent, but GM Mike Rizzo said those talks were just to gauge interest. For now, they're happy with the a platoon of Willie Harris and Justin Maxwell because of their defensive abilities, and Rizzo says that will remain a point of emphasis as the team moves forward. 
  • Rosenthal expects the Nats to get better as the season progresses. They'll be adding Stephen Strasburg, Drew Storen, Chien-Ming Wang, Ross Detwiler, and Jordan Zimmermann to their pitching staff at various points this year.

    “The last time they traded for a first baseman with a year-plus left on his contract, they basically rebuilt the Texas Rangers”

    Priceless phrasing

    These stories about Adrian Gonzalez to the Braves better stop because I’m sick of hearing lousy no-meaning rumors about dumb trades or signings that always seem to involve the Braves. Why us? Why won’t another team be constantly talked about on this website? We had Peavy, we had Bay, we had Damon, and we now have Gonzalez. Enough is enough just freakin’ lay off and go bother some other team with useless hot stove talk.

      Maybe don’t go to a site called MLB Trade Rumors if you’re sick of trade rumors.

        I’m not sick of trade rumors. I’m sick of people even bothering to say things that don’t make any sense. Why would someone even guess that Adrian Gonzalez might end up on the Braves? It would be another deal just like Teixeiras and most likely wouldn’t work out because it would empty the farm system and there is no way we would be able to extend him. It would be a dumb move that wouldn’t help us in the least. With Damon, there was also no point because of the plethora of outfielders we already have in a log jam. And back with Peavy, that subject was interesting up until they asked for Tommy Hanson and then it just went down hill because the thought of giving up Hanson was ridiculous. Did I mind the AJ Burnett rumors? No. The Furcal rumors? Nope. The Griffey rumors? No way. I was excited about all of them. I don’t mind trade rumors as long as they make a little bit of sense.

      You’re really complaining that your favorite team is being discussed TOO much? I’ve got a solution for you: stop coming to this site and bit**ing about your team being talked about too much. If you don’t want to partake in the discussion then skip the link, it’s pretty simple.
