quigley0 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Should the Orioles put up the money to sign Vlady?? I mean, they need a face for their team. Who is the face of that team now? Mora? Matos? We need a big time player. With the arms race brewing between Boston/NY, the Orioles would do well to grab just one prime time player. What do you think they should do?

blackcoffee Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Yes; ofcourse they should pick him up; wow him equipped w/ Jay Gibbons; they are 2 very capable 100+ RBI for the rest of their careers.

stncttr908 Veteran Posted December 13, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 13, 2003 nah, the yanks need to pick him up ;) That wouldn't be a bad idea. It'd be one more reason for the MLB to institute profit sharing. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/123188-orioles/#findComment-1468287 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatnipOligarchy Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 yeah i wouldnt mind seeing him go to the O's... the al east could turn into a 4 team race Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/123188-orioles/#findComment-1468355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
quigley0 Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 If the orioles got him, and Javy Lopez, that would rock. Vlady and Gibbo in the 4 and 5 spot make for a nice 1-2 punch. Gibbo will protect Vlady so that he doesn't get walked alot, and it puts Gibbo in a place to punch in some RBI's. Man, my mouth is watering over this. Please Please Pull the trigger Angelos! Make the deal. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/123188-orioles/#findComment-1470807 Share on other sites More sharing options...
quigley0 Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 Sorry for the double reply. This is how i'd like to see the orioles Offense. (not batting order) C- Lopez 1b - Gibbons?? 2b - Hairston Jr 3b - Roberts. (yeah, i think he can make the move) ss - tejada (i know, i'm dreaming, no way we get three free agents!) OF - Vlady OF - Mora OF - Matos DH - Cust What do you think?? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/123188-orioles/#findComment-1470822 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remote Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Peter Angelos is a joke. He says that since Belle's contract is finally up, we have funds to go out spended. We have not done one thing but lose players. I know we wont get any of those players. Why would they want to come to baltimore. Our team is a joke. Its a true shame. Think of all the players we had in 99. Think of the pitching staff that has gone through the o's. Brown, Moyer, Mussina, Wells, list goes on. Its a shame.

I mean suit up Vlady and NOW TEJADA (w00tw00t) and let's see some good young pitching take over. < oh wait; our pitching is average> Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/123188-orioles/#findComment-1474395 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost 3 best pitchers. Red sox have better chances of winning next year than yankees. Yankees will loose next unless they bring some miracle.

quigley0 Posted December 15, 2003 Author Share Posted December 15, 2003 Ok, Got tejada! Now, if we get Vlady........Watch out! Of course, Boston and NewYork will be hard to beat.

Red sox have better chances of winning next year than yankees. Yankees will loose next unless they bring some miracle. Last year the Rotation was Clemens-Mussina-Pettitte-Wells-Weaver now its looking to be Brown-Mussina-Vasquez-Conteras-Lieber or Wells Not sure you can call that a bad rotation, hell assuming good health its quite an upgrade. Not to mention a much better bullpen btw sorry for crapping on the Orioles thread. They seems to be building a contending team, but the AL East has to be the hardest division atm.
