were going to the super bowl now. seriously though I know I'm a big homer and doing lots of wishful thinking but I think we may be really good. There is potential for a winning team here. 1-9 we look good. If everyone does what they are capable of doing we are solid.
I hope Vlad still has some left though his age and knees worry most.

Lots of poo pooing the move, but I dont think its all bad. IRL, Vlad is a draw, a big name, he will put fannies in the seats, and 8 mill is not at all unreasonable when you look at his production. Just because Orioles "could" have been hard asses and not budged from 4 mill, and then have Vlad sit out the year or until a big money team loses a player to injury and calls Vlad in late April, because the guy is way too proud, would not have played for that, and I dont think he should have had to, with borderline nothing players making soo much more than 8 mill.

I'm with gcstomp on this one. $8 MM is chump change in today's baseball market, and it's only a one-year deal. I see a lot of upside for the O's here - if Vlad hits like last year, someone will deal for him and the O's have an opportunity to get a half-decent minor league player in the deal and dump the remainder of the contract. If Vlad hits, and by some miracle, the O's are competitive, it'll help draw fans away from the Nats. Sure, Vlad could get hurt and/or just suck, but then the O's are off the hook at the end of the year anyway.
Of course, my view might be colored by my thinking that Pie is nothing more than a AAAA player....I'm just here for the baseball.

If they trade Vlad during the season, they HAVE to get pitchers. Other than Matusz, the ones they have are unimpressive at best.Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)
