This makes the O’s the off season Champions. Now let the games begin!

Good job Cash.

Duchscherer is not old enough to pitch for the Yankees. He’s too many years away from an AARP card to qualify.
Seriously, Yankees don’t need another question mark to add to the rotation.

He doesn’t get his money unless he makes 30 starts. You know he’ll get hurt @ some point but when he is pitching, he is nasty. If he gave you 20-25 quality starts you’d be able to give the kids a chance. Now you have two Javier Vasquez’ getting lumped up every 4th and 5th game.
Wait until CC opts out, they are screwed.

As a Yankees fan, I’m not thrilled with the two signing of the old guys, but am not freaked out about it. My cable provider had games from the DR and I was able to see Colon pitch parts of two games and was not impressed. He didn’t look any trimmer than before and was pitching to AAA caliber players, but he does know how to pitch. From the small sample I don’t think he’ll make the team.Garcia is another story, he knows how to pitch and was decent with Chicago, so on a better team he could hold his own. Add Mitre and Nova and the Yankees have four bodies that are a safer bet to not break down than Duchscherer. They’re not the glamorous names we’re used to seeing in a Yankees rotation, but it’s most likely a temporary situation.
As for CC and his opting out. That most likely won’t happen. He made it clear on a few occasions that he likes it in NY, as well as the home in NJ and is looking around at the better high schools for his kids to attend. That may change, but for now one has to take him at his word.

What a pick up by the O’s. If this guy is healthy you get a top of the rotation guy and if not, you lose pocket change for Mr. Angelos. Now bump the offer for Vlad to 5.5 million with a chance to make 8 if he hits within 10% of career numbers.

Why bid against yourself?

What a great off season for the O’s. im so proud of them, i feel like they are starting to grow up right before my eyes. /wipetear.

This could be the steal of the off-season. Great upgrade from Millwood.
Panda_Claus
If he only wins 4 games they broke even on wins and would still be millions ahead in salary costs.

How do yo figure that ?
OrangeCards
Millwood’s contribution to the club last year is hardly accessed by his 4 wins.

O’s in 2nd place in the ALE, bank it.
Lunchbox45
Wanna bet?

I’ll have no shot of collecting a message board bet so we’ll just have to see what’s what in October.
Joshua
good pick up now time for vlad and maybe millwood for a try out in spring… cant hurt to have another veteran arm for the o’s to let young guys mature in AAA.

Except Duke isn’t getting 10 million guaranteed … Not a good comparison.

Really? they both were giving big amounts of money when they have had major surgery and then missed seasons.
