The Orioles have a -57 run differential this year which is the 2nd worst in the AL. I’d be really surprised to see this team finish above .500. I was hoping for that too. Now just gotta hope the Pirates do.

I think the Dodgers need a Chase Headly-type player (Headly might be dangerous with the Padres want of prospects); someone with a decent batting average and can fit in near the top of the order.

Orioles should stay the course in their rebuilding process. The have a very good core. If any of their young arms had panned out, they’d be in much better shape to go for it all this year.

Just wondering, why is Joe Buck your avatar if you hate him?

If you can see by the beard I think he’s attempting to ridicule Mr.Buck.

Ehh, ain’t that a microphone?

The Orioles are “going to try to do everything [possible] to get into the playoffs this year.” Well saying that is one thing, doing that is another.
Putting a pitcher like Ayala in the game when there’s bases loaded and nobody out is never a good idea! Not even a little bit. Signing Endy Chavez for the fourth spot in your outfield is not indicative to me of doing “everything”. I could drone on and on, but if you have a 4 to 1 lead against a bad team, with no viable bullpen and you lose that looks bad no matter how you slice it. Duquette has done nothing to indicate, he is making an all out approach to the playoffs. It has me really agrevated. The other thing is even if we trade and get more pieces, the Oriole overall play has been terrible as of late. So unless the O’s start playing better, I don’t see why Duquette wants to make all these big moves.

Not sure how I feel about going “all out”

A couple of points: 1) The Orioles have a better record than they should. I’m sorry but it’s true. As MB923 pointed out, they have the AL’s second worst run differential.
2) Would you really want them to go all out? Going all out means giving up the farm and the O’s still have some gems there.

It is nice to see my ChiSox finally dip into the Latin American player pool. 3 in one season makes me excited! We can finally get some “rank” on our farm system…plus our draft is looking pretty good this year!

“the Dodgers won’t pass up ways of improving their team this summer, even if it means boosting payroll” Really? Youk was available for a Fernando autograph and a B level prospect. I guess the Dodgers missed that.
