PrintQuestion of the Day: In yesterday's Bird Droppings, we realized that the Orioles have quite a bit of money coming off the books this winter with the expiring of a bunch of contracts, foolish and otherwise. Upon further research, after arbitration hearings, the Orioles should have about $23 million dollars to spend to reach 2010's Opening Day Payroll. The question is this: How much of that chunk of change do you want to spend on free agency? Pocket for later use? Stuff into international free agency? Or the draft? What do you think the Orioles should do with their cash surplus? -Andrew

Koji should get arb, millwood not so much. i don’t want that chance he would come back to pitch mentor suck.
I would hope that the Warehouse makes a hard charge at Crawford....
but I fully realize that the chances of him actually coming here are quite slim.
Of course some of the cash should be invested into the international scouting dept., as well as the draft. It is clear that the O’s have slacked on both of these fronts in the recent past.
However, what really intrigues me, would be the possibility of using some of the cash to trade for a bad contract. I don’t know precisely how it would work, but it seems the O’s could get a decent / good prospect if they were to trade for someone such as Oliver Perez (I’m not saying they should trade for Perez specifically. I just use him as an example.) He’s owed $12 mil for next season and the Mets are desperate to off load him. Put together a package to send to whatever team has a bad deal they want to unload and ask for one of their upper tier prospects (preferably infield) in addition. Thoughts?

that's something I've thought a lot about, too
but as much as a team might want to get rid of a bad contract, you have to wonder what kind of prospect is coming back to us. It’s not like we’d be getting Ollie Perez and Ike Davis for Brandon Waring, or Dom Brown and Raul Ibanez for Kam Mickolio…I just can’t see something like happening.
No offense, but....ENOUGH WITH THE FIELDER/GONZALEZ TRADE PROPOSALS.
Agreed
Its too creative and too risky for baseball GM’s

Spend on the draft and save for next year
Also, sign Matusz to a long term deal. I still dont want to sign any free agents. While Crawford is an upgrade, we’ve got ok cheap young players to try at LF and I want to save money for SS, 3B and 1B (and re-signing Wieters and possibly other young players)

Ehhh
sign a 23 year old pitcher to a long term contract when we have control over him until 2016 anyway? That seems pretty risky. Are we going to give him an 8 year contract? Or just buy out his arb years? I don’t see the point.

So I biked to work today
and somehow I forgot to put my jeans in my panniers. so I’m sitting here at work wearing a sweater and my stupid spandex shorts. My GF was kind enough to agree to bring my jeans, so she’ll be here shortly. Luckily my coworker usually doesn’t show up until around 10, and no one bothers me before then anyway.

I brought tennis shoes with me too because i have like a 20 minute walk from the train station to my office and non-broken in dress shoes would have really messed up my feet.

I hate heels
That may seem odd because I’m sensitive about my height deficiency, but they’re so uncomfortable. I don’t work yet but my mom wears comfortable shoes for the metro ride and then changes her shoes at work. That sounds reasonable to me.
Where are my shoelaces?
comfortable shoes are great
I just don’t get why they have to be big goofy tennis shoes.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
Yeah...my mom doesn't wear goofy tennis shoes
Merrells mostly. I hate those running shoes but I love my puma tennis shoes. I wear them all the time.
Where are my shoelaces?
Yea...but the people getting off at the same stop as me don't have a long walk
I probably have the longest walk out of all of them. Most of those folks ride go up an elevator and they are at work.

No.
It just doesn’t look good. And this is coming from somebody who would much rather wear tennis shoes than anything else.

I think it depends on the shoe
you definitely just cant throw on your running shoes and expect it to work
It's not about how it looks!
Look I can’t speak for guy’s shoes, but have you ever walked even a half mile in four inch heels? No? Ok then. What the fuck does it matter if someone wants to wear more comfortable shoes during the commute?
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
I haven't...
but it is interesting the way shoes work for women v. men. Why would anyone want to wear heels that tall? Not snarking – just trying to apply some kind of logic to it and I can’t.

Because society has put more pressure on women to look beautiful than men
And legs look better in heels?
Also because they’re cute.

but whenever I hear someone complain about their poor little tootsies and I see that they are wearing “cute” shoes that put their foot at some awful angle and bind their toes worse than a Chinese peasant, I generally roll my eyes.

And you don't have to wear anything that would make you uncomfortable
That’s cool. But the way I feel when I look in the mirror before I leave the house in heels vs. in flats makes me feel better than a little bit of uncomfortable footwear makes me feel bad.

$23 million? That's a fair amount of money.
The Orioles NEED a first baseman. Even an oldish one will cost a little unless MacPhail can work a deal for a productive young one (my preference). A shortstop will cost a little, too as will a 3B. I can see spending all of it on needs for 2011, actually.
I think investing money in scouting and international signings is actually a money saving venture and should not be counted in the same way. The Yankees spent over $200 million on payroll last year. There is no reason for the Orioles to restrict their spending to what they spent in 2010. Come on, Angelos, spend some long term money on this team!!

Carl Crawford
Somewhere in Japan or Latin America are two teenage players who will be even better than Carl Crawford. If we could find them, we could sign them for a reasonable price. This won’t happen, however, because we don’t have a good international scouting operation. It is better than it was in the past (when it was nonexistent), but our international operation is still way behind that of our competition. If we take the money that we have earmarked for a run at Carl Crawford and spend it on international scouting, we might land those two teenagers and many more.
Case in point, the Yankees found Robbie Cano in Latin America. Cano did not cost them a draft choice. He was a “free” player. Another case in point, we learned over the summer that the Orioles have many fewer scouts than the other MLB franchises. AM says that we don’t need more, but who is right, AM or all of the other clubs? Our dearth of scouts may help explain why the Orioles have been so bad at drafting and developing players. In 1999, we had 7 first round or or gap draft choices. Had any of them panned out, they would now be in their prime years as players. None of them did, however, which is an unusually bad record.
The Orioles are still digging out from under the dead hand of Syd Thryft.. So, my vote is to forget Carl Crawford and spend money on shoring up the foundation,
You added an extra "or"
“In 1999, we had 7 first round or or gap draft choices.”

You are so right. I need to proofread.
I took a look at the actual 1999 draft. We did get two good players in that draft: Roberts and Bedard. The players drafted through selection number 50 were: Mike Paradis, Larry Bigbie, Keith Reed, Richard Stahl, Joshua Cenate, Scott Rice, and Brian Roberts. Bedard was taken in the 6th round.
The draft was not a bust, but, with 7 picks in the top 50 we should have done better.

Sweet potatoes are not actually potatoes. Potatoes are the deadly nightshade family along with tomatoes and eggplants. Sweet potatoes are in the morning glory family. I always wondered why they tasted nothing like each other.

But both taste delish...

And thats really the whole point isn’t it? The violent side of terrorism is a means to an end, not the end itself. The reaction is what’s important, and if they can provoke that without actually harming anyone, then that probably involves a lot less planning.
Or
There is an actual threat and they are testing our vulnerabilities. Don’t be so sure their end goal is simply to provoke fear without violence.
by Wieters Wieners on Oct 29, 2010 2:00 PM EDT up reply actions
Its possible
but if you actually care about who you kill beyond the reaction it would cause, I’d argue thats not actually (or at least not purely) terrorism. Now its not clear what actually happened here, but that was the point i was trying to make.
One thing I've long considered...
our saving grace when it comes to avoiding frequent bouts of fatality-inducing terror attacks is the self-aggrandizing nature of the plans formulated by most of these groups. It isn’t enough to have a dozen crazies run up and down the street with firearms killing people – it has to involve planes, or anthrax, or subways. Something fucking huge.
I just read an article in Washingtonian about the “DC Five” (really the NoVA five, but whatev) and how they flew to Pakistan to allegedly fight Americans/Coalition forces over there. Um – hello, you have US Passports and are citizens with no criminal record. You could’ve bought a gun or two apiece legally and another three or four illegally and gone hunting over here. But no, they wanted to do something big, something to get noticed.

Whatever bullshit support these groups get from sympathetic states (looking at you, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Pakistan), their “goals” read like the business plan of a high-minded kid that just joined a multi-level-marketing company:
1) ?
2) ?
3) Profit?
Groups like the Taliban are annoying because they rose to power in a nation that had a leadership vacuum, but for the most part do their damage locally and would never be able to get organized and start becoming an international (read: Western) threat, no matter how much help the ISI give them.

AND my least favorite teacher in history also went to school with my cousins and was in Kobe Bryant’s grade.
So, no, I don’t know a famous person.

my mother in law teaches at lower merion. A while back when Shaq was with the Lakers, him and Kobe were going back to LM for some back to school event . She asked me if I wanted to go, but I turned that down. Not a fan.
I'm not a fan either
I just think it’s cool that I know a person who knows a famous person. Except, not really. It was funny because we asked our teacher if he was in the Kobe’s grade and he said, “Uh…well, if I told you that, you would know my age.”
That’s a yes.
Where are my shoelaces?
come to think of it, Selby (briefly) went to my high school too
but transferred before they could expel him for hitting a girl. Funny how thats not in any of the scouting reports.
The basketball team was awful when i was there, and now we apparently had two national top 50 players on the team at the same time.
I remember feeling totally cool...
because I went to high school/one year of elem. school with a guy that went to Drexel and plays in Germany now.
