Maybe Sports Guy was Elias after all. It seems they really only wanted Ortiz to be the headliner lol.

and that kids is why Cease is still here and Baltimore doesn't have him.

Thank goodness that's over. Goodbye to the Baltimore fans.

It's actually pretty amusing to hear other fans talking about Getz wasting their GMs time. (Source: the salty Baltimore O's forum).

Ultimately MLB needs to fix this and soon. An offseason that had Ohtani in it should not be the most boring offseason even in the past 5 years. It's only getting worse.

I think it was Passan or Ken that had an article recently that it's the players that are holding alot of advancements in this area up. If it was up to the owners according to that article they would have free agency dates and a floor. Plus it was mentioned in the article that Scott Boras loves an offseason like this because his players get paid eventually. He doesn't give a s%*# if this sport gets overshadowed by the rest of the sports during the offseason.

So the O's guys are gone now right? it's been a good news day.

Lol definitely acting like a serious playoff team.

I would guess right before spring training. Alot of the guys we've been discussing for right field are still on the market.

and this was answered apparently with your fellow poster on the O's board. The timeline which has been harped on ad nauseum is the reason.

It should be. Make yourself useful around here. I'll ask again why did that need to be addressed? If you didn't simply forget your argument from how ever many pages ago. You thought that White Sox fans who just got out of a rebuild that had prospects fail needed to be told that younger players can fail. That really was your true intention of that post correct?

What am I reporting? How do you think we don't know this already? None of that needed to be addressed. You first start off in your previous post by saying you agree that we should be looking at younger prospects. Then a short time later you say that the problem is that we are looking at younger prospects and that they can potentially fail. Trades can fail. Thank you for stating the obvious if that was the true intention of your last post. Glad we got that all cleared up.

There it is. You said it was a problem that we were and that it can lead to failure. What was the point of that entire post on the last page then? You don't think all of us White Sox fans don't know this by now having a complete rebuild fail? Was that last post needed? It doesn't seem like it other than either 1) You hedging your arguments 2) Needlessly posting information that we already know to try and condescend to us once again.

So your talking out of both sides of your mouth basically.

Pretty much. First they were circular and then he was just arguing to argue. I'm guessing the insults about our reading comprehension are coming up next because that's the order of things.

So he would want high upside guys if he was us but it's problem that we do. Who wants to guess how he twists this to make it sound like that's not what he said?

Cool. Feel free to talk it amongst your buddies somewhere else.

There it is. Another why can't you read post.

Exactly. I just want us to sign an outfielder so we can shift to that discussion. I need my defensive stats discussion infusion before spring training starts.

I mean I don't mind if they have something new to add. I was actually just going to check and see if there was anything new I missed reporting wise. But I looked at the last few pages and I didn't. You can't have those prospects! What the hell are you thinking! Why can't you read! Why don't you know baseball! Yep.
