PrintThe Mobbies celebration is tonight from 7:30-9:30. Stacey and I and others will be in attendance at RA Sushi, so drop by. It's a completely cash deal, so don't plan on anything free. Just warning you.
Question Du Jour: In case you haven't seen it, Dan Uggla is back on the trade block. The Orioles were interested last year, but between Uggla's apparent unwillingness to accept a move off second, and the Marlins asking price, and the Orioles pickup of certain other free agents, nothing happened. Uggla went on to have his best season yet at age 30, and now he's a free agent in one year. Interested? -Andrew

Orioles Insider: Fanfest 2011 set for Jan. 29
The Orioles' FanFest 2011 is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 29 at the Baltimore Convention Center.
Orioles Insider: O's sign pitcher Atkins to minor league deal, re-sign several of their own
It's MITCH Atkins, people, MITCH, not Garrett. And Stacey's favorite reliever, Will Startup, resigned with the Orioles, as did Raul Rivero, Adam Donachie, and Carlos Rojas.
Steve Melewski: Mike Griffin is returning to the O's organization
The Norfolk pitching coach is coming back to the AAA team.
School of Roch: Is Randolph the final coaching piece?
Looks like the former Yankee will be the one sending Matt Wieters home from second on a ground ball to first this year.

I have never worked in a company where the health plan kicks in day 1.
I’m pretty sure that they all made me wait until the first day after my first full month of employment. That’s the whole point of COBRA, which is really expensive. So most of us regular people don’t buy it and just walk on eggshells for a month until the new plan kicks in. The last time I changed jobs, I got a grade 3 sprained ankle on the exact day that my new insurance kicked in.
"Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?' Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand.."
It kicks in depending on how fast you get paid.
I just happened to start my current job 5 days before the pay period ended, so I enrolled in health care within 3 days of starting the job and it kicked in almost immediately since the funds were immediately withdrawn from that first paycheck.

The hypocricy is...
That’s all that guy ran on, that and “Frank’s first vote was for…PELOSI!!!!!!”
After almost a year of hearing Harris beat Kratovil over the head for voting for some procedural vote to allow discussion (Frank actually voted against the actual bill, believe it or not), for Harris to go to DC on his first orientation day and demand his free health care immediately is the height of hypocricy.

In re: Uggla
Depends on what the Marlins want in return. I believe I read a blurb in a MLBTR article that the Marlins aren’t hung up on getting too great a return, just a B or a couple of C prospects. If that is the case I’d be fine with acquiring him. Tell him to man 3rd base and have Bell start the season in AAA. Even if he doesn’t sign an extension after next season the O’s can collect the 2 draft picks he’ll likely bring back.
"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man." ~ The Dude
If that's true
then I’m definitely interested in him. He could start the year at third base for Bell and if Brian has his healthy troubles, there’s your 2B.

ESPN’s Buster Olney tweets that some clubs “perceive the Marlins are absolutely intent on moving Uggla ASAP, and they are not asking for a high rate of return — a couple of decent guys, no A-plus prospects necessary.”

that surprises me
Uggla is terrible at second…what makes you all so sure he could just move to third and be okay?
I could dream it forever and still not do it, but when the time comes for it to be done, God, I want to be ready for it.
I think his bat plays there fine for a season (or part of a season)
Plus 3B is easier than 2B.

ugh this again
(breathes in)
yes, Uggla’s bat will play basically anywhere…but his defense will not. Let’s acknowledge that errors are a stupid way to judge things, but he makes more errors with his arm than with his glove right now. And that’s at second. Moving him to third is putting him in the position to fail. You know, just like putting Adam Jones in the leadoff spot of the lineup.
I could dream it forever and still not do it, but when the time comes for it to be done, God, I want to be ready for it.
Yeah but if you can trade for him for something like PBR outlines above
Knowing that he’s not a long term anything, settling for his defense in exchange for his bat, then collect your draft picks at the end of the year when you tell him adios, I think it’s a good call.
You asked the other day what kind of player would make a good stop gap, I think he would.
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
What about moving him to first?

He'd definitely be better there
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
Although I worry about him raising a stink the way he did last year
when trade rumors surfaced.
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
and that's why I imagine
the Orioles havent shown any interest in him this year.

That could work as well, I suppose.

why not '70 era Brooks Robinson?

Beltre. But that ain't happening.

wouldn't height be an issue here?
he’s only 5-11. I see a lot of tall first basemen out there, the only one under 6’ that comes to mind immediately is Fielder. it’s not a huge issue for sure, but Uggla at first worries me for some reason.

I think Uggla anywhere worries me
I could live with his stone hands at second, except we already have a second basemen. I’d be terrified of him at third, and the height thing is certainly a good point about playing first. And he’d be playing out of position anyway…I can see a lot of balls rolling into the dugout…
I could dream it forever and still not do it, but when the time comes for it to be done, God, I want to be ready for it.
stick him at DH
Luke is six feet tall.
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
we all know that putting luke at first is the best thing to do
but we all also know that nobody who matters agrees with us.
I could dream it forever and still not do it, but when the time comes for it to be done, God, I want to be ready for it.
Don't know why the Os are so reluctant to give 1B to Luke
If Uggla is a free agent at the end of next season, then we will lose any prospects that we give up for him. We would, however, get a gap round pick if we offered him arbitration and he refused. So, I guess it depends on the prospects we would have to give up and the value of the gap round pick. All of this states the obvious. I would not give up much for a player who will only be here for one year, a year in which we will finish last or next to last in our division.
what's wrong with moving him to 3rd?
It is an easier. I’m not saying he’ll be great there (frankly, I don’t know), but I don’t know why you would automatically conclude he would suck at 3B because he was terrible at 2B (and then also conclude he would be fine at 1B).
And to answer your question, no we don’t need a one year rental and give up even B prospects.
Your mother.
I think much of his problem with second is his arm
which would be magnified by moving him farther away from first base.
I could dream it forever and still not do it, but when the time comes for it to be done, God, I want to be ready for it.
He can't make the throw from 2B?
How hard can that be?
Or is it an accuracy issue?

my point is merely that his arm-based issues will be exacerbated by moving to third
and I think it would be worse than any improvement in his range-based issues. A net loss.

Ok, I can run it down
but I’ll use Victor Martinez as a good example. He’s got a great bat – for a catcher. His bat plays as a catcher. But he’s not a very good defensive catcher, so you might want to move him to his other position: first base. But his bat isn’t nearly as good compared to other first basemen. He goes from being Joe Mauer to being Daric Barton.
And the point is: why pay 4-60 or whatever, when you can just pay 1-7 for the same production?
I could dream it forever and still not do it, but when the time comes for it to be done, God, I want to be ready for it.
yes... i completely agree and understand that
but uggla’s bat will play at 3B which is the point that brought up this discussion in the first place. ugga’s wOBA was .381 last year, which would have been 4th best in the MLs in 2010 among 3Bs were 400 PAs.
Your mother.
Well that's part of it.
And may be useful when talking about whether to sign a guy or not, but lots of people also use it to assess prospects or whether we should keep certain guys because their “bat doesn’t play in LF” or something. The argument against that thinking is that whether a bat plays at a given position is totally dependent on the production each team is getting from their other positions. If Matt Wieters turns into a stud hitter like everybody was expecting him to be before this year, then it greatly decreases out need for production at other positions.

its all about how easily it is to get that production otherwise

nah, let's just do the typical signature bet
I win, I get to change your sig for a week. You win, likewise.
Your mother.
why?
I think a lot of his perceived value is in his versatility. Take that away and yeah, he’s not worth a longer deal.
I could dream it forever and still not do it, but when the time comes for it to be done, God, I want to be ready for it.
well, that's what i was basing my 2/$20M figure on
I was looking at the market for 1B, looking at past deals, and came up with a figure.
Your mother.
of course, he also has name value
so he could still get a 3 year deal as a primary first baseman…but I wouldn’t be willing to bet on it.
I could dream it forever and still not do it, but when the time comes for it to be done, God, I want to be ready for it.
I wonder how teams will view him positionally
It’s possible that a team will sign him as a full-time catcher despite his declining defense. He’s probably best suited for 80 to 100 games at catcher, then 1B/DH work, but that requires a decent 2nd catcher.
Your mother.
well, the Yankees got away with some awful catcher defense
for a long while, and it didn’t seem to really hurt them overall that much.
I could dream it forever and still not do it, but when the time comes for it to be done, God, I want to be ready for it.
that's true
but most teams don’t have the fire power of the Yankees. They typically one of the leaders in runs scored year in and year out.
Your mother.
if he signs as
half catcher, half 1B, his value is obviously higher. Not sure what I think he’ll get in that case. Something higher than 2/$20M though.
Your mother.
Didn't know that
He ain’t worth it. I’m gonna go ahead and blame Ryan Howard for jacking up 1B salaries everywhere.

Right - I wasn't talking about signing free agents.
I was more talking about assessing needs and prospects and current players.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
then let me put it this way
Regardless of how Matt Wieters is performing, I still don’t want to stick with an underperforming Felix Pie in left when I can find someone who is better than him relatively easily. But it’s a lot harder to find good center fielders than good left fielders, and therefore the offensive bar is a lot lower, so I could live (theoretically) with Pie in center, because it’d be harder to find a good center fielder than a good left fielder.
That’s the idea.
I could dream it forever and still not do it, but when the time comes for it to be done, God, I want to be ready for it.
I get the idea.
I just don’t think it’s an absolute and I think a lot of people misuse it.

Digital Rights Management
the pain in the ass stuff that makes it hard to play your music on different devices but does nothing to actually stop piracy because anyone who really wants to can crack it easily.
Digital Rights Management
Under the older versions of iTunes, you couldn’t play their stuff on any computer that wasn’t authorized for your account, you couldn’t rip songs to mp3 to play on non-iPod players, and you couldn’t do anything with the files, like make your own ringtones, etc.
When I buy a mp3 for 99 cents on Amazon, I can just put the file on any USB stick and play it where I want. With DRM, you can’t do that. iTunes has loosened its DRM policies, and its iTunes tracks now aren’t protected, but the file format they use makes it less necessary, because you still have to have iTunes or an iPod to play their stuff.

"Army of Darkness" was Evil Dead III
The studio wouldn’t let the director call it that, though.
So, if I’ve done Evil Dead and Army of Darkness, and it’s a trilogy, that means today’s quote is from….

Seriously, why doesn’t Jon Heyman just get put on Scott Boras’ payroll at this point?

...and just some further reminders
Varitek. Teixeira. Manny. A-Rod 2×. Bonds, vintage 1992. Do you notice anything in common? Yes, all of these players are or were represented by Boras at the time of their signings. It is plainly obvious that Heyman, known among fellow writers as scottboras.com, is getting fed such stories by Scott himself, which is fine and dandy except there is more going on here than meets the eye.
Orioles Pursuing Manny (2008), which prompted this exchange at CC:
Don’t believe it

Orioles “laying in the weeds” on Matt Holliday
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
On Holliday
Heyman wasn’t the only person reporting the O’s interest. Overall, I thought the rumors were legit. If I remember correctly, there weren’t many serious suitors for Holliday because was asking for so much money. I do think Andy would have liked to picked up Holliday if his price dropped but it didn’t because Cardinal, inexplicably, overpaid for Holliday w/o any serious competition.
But yeah, Heyman sucks in general.
Your mother.
who else reported O's interest on Holliday?
I mean, apart from Peter Schmuck, who doesn’t really count. If you look back, all reports of the Orioles bidding on Holliday are based on one FOX story (written by Rosenthal, the other boy wonder, of course), which cites one “unnamed source.” Everything else tracks back to that story. Andy MacPhail, meanwhile, denied the entire thing adamantly. And a few days later, the Cards upped their offer.
Gee, I wonder who the source was?
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
I like Robothal as a rumor source, but I know a lot people dislike him
And I’m sure Andy’s denial is legit. I’m sure he never made a formal offer and I don’t think his interest was legit until Holliday’s price dropped. His price never did drop but it looked like it might drop because they weren’t many suitors and negotiations with the Cardinals were taking forever. So I wouldn’t be surprised if Andy checked in with Boras to see if Holliday’s price had dropped. It didn’t and that was the end of the story.
Your mother.
"more than meets the eye"
WTF is being implied here? Is Heyman being paid by Boras or something?
Heyman is a tool, no doubt, but a lot of these guys are.

Oh give the guy a break...
…Sheetz bathrooms are hard places not to get in fights in sometimes. I’ve gotten into a drunken scrap in one on a very, very wild night.
Maybe over beers sometime.
It was a night in college that was so off the wall that I really don’t want it appearing in print anywhere. Sheetz, fighting, drunk and disorderly, one seriously annoyed police officer and an enormous bathroom line were all involved. Almost miraculously, no charges were filed…against me at least.
He didn't get into a fight IN a sheetz bathroom. He got into a fight WITH a sheetz bathroom
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09046/949348-66.stm
State police said Mr. Reed, 29, was in the restroom of the convenience store on Route 22 in New Alexandria at 2:50 a.m. when he began “banging on something” and making loud noises.
He then “used profane language towards a Sheetz employee stating that there were no towels in the restroom,” police said.
“Reed continued using profane language in a loud manner outside the store. Reed caused damage to a towel dispenser as he was infuriated at the fact that there were no towels in it,” according to police.
I'm telling you...
…there’s something about Sheetz. Maybe it’s all that red that turns drunks into Superfuzz/The Incredible Hulk during late night binges. Maybe it’s just the fact they’re open 24/7, have bathrooms, and sell things drunks covet the way Golem covets his “precious”.

Orioles Insider
This source says that we are shedding more scouts. This troubles me since the Os are thin on scouting in comparison to other teams. Is this a sign that the Orioles intend to spend on the visible components of the team while letting the foundation rot.
Could be a matter of....
scouts and being fired, and different scouts will be hired
Hey look, mister - we serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast, and we don't need any characters around to give the joint "atmosphere".
I hope so
The modus operandi of the Os during the El Syd era and beyond was to spend money on cosmetics while ignoring the termites in the framing.
Could be that these guys are the termites in the foundation...
and it’s 3 scouts that they’ve lost, and a bunch of others have been moved around, or got jobs with other orgs.

I’m always hearing that “yes, this is definitely the year he does it. 30/30 for sure this time” only to see him underachieve in one of those categories. that being said, he’s always solid in just about everything; would I build a franchise around him? probably, not my first choice, but probably. has he disappointed me in recent years? yes. no doubt. I always thought he would be the next great one though. so far he’s been the next one “on the cusp of greatness” that has a lot more room to improve.

I might actually puke on the screen if it’s shown.

They wouldnt show that on screen
either of the big 2 governor scenes. But they could allude to what is about to happen. They could show them preparing for it and then you could hear it happening, but it wont be show. The series is so awesome because of the boundaries it pushes though, and they need to keep that going in the tv show.

yeah
not the part where…yeah…but maybe some of the other stuff. there’s a few of them, I mean the one with his daughter. I have a feeling they might do that…

AHHHH I want to read this so bad.
I don’t want to spoil anything. I’m terrible with spoilers. I. Can’t. Not. Look.

It WILL spoil alot
I mean, you will be introduced to charecters and then find out about their huge plot twists before even getting to know who they are. It will ruin alot of the show and/or the books if you read it. Just warning you.

indeed
I think 4 is the biggest plot twist of them all. can’t say I expected that to happen…also, what do you think; Danny Trejo as the Governor?

Could work...
maybe a bit old (and possibly expensive), but I could see it.

man he'd be perfect for it
it’s actually the first thing I thought when I first saw him in the book and he almost always plays an antagonist in anything he’s ever been in…

Oh, and...
4 could ruin the whole series for some people. 5 could ruin a charecter that’s one of my favorites from the series, and 15 could ruin this very season right off the bat. Definitely should be avoided by all costs.
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
yeah
I really wish they’d do 4 though. it seems like the rest of the story can’t progress if it doesn’t happen. 15 is gonna have to happen eventually, probably some other fashion though. 5 was totally unnecessary, that ruined almost the whole series for me.

Seriously.
The first hour of work goes so much more slowly when there are no Bird Droppings waiting for me…

Can't do 'em every day, sorry.
So you’re stuck with Stacey’s vampirish nocturnal schedule.
Hey look, mister - we serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast, and we don't need any characters around to give the joint "atmosphere".
I'm sorry!
I had stuff to do. Like lay in bed.

If anyone was wondering
the police recoved the animals and insects stolen from the Leakin Park nature center:
that's good
took a field trip over there a few weeks ago (art school is awesome). They’re clearly operating on a shoestring budget but the folks were really friendly and all. brought us out some animals to draw. Most of the animals had been mistreated by former owners and it was kinda sad to see. Glad they got ’em back.
