With the recent spending by the Dodgers and last year the Mets and Padres, it got me thinking. What's worse for baseball? Owners who spend much more or owners who don't spend even though they're in the window like the Orioles and Mariners?

You're right about not dumping dollars into the team when they were tanking. It would just have been an extreme waste. And with Chris Davis being the highest paid player on the team last year, I'm really so very glad that we didn't go after Correa or any of the other big contracts. Save those damn dollars for Adley, Gunnar, Jackson is coming up soon; keep some money for those dudes. I think it's smart. But we gotta gotta gotta fill those holes in the pitching. Till The Mountain comes back we're gonna need somebody like Kimbrel. I dig that move and hope he hangs in there and gives em hell.

According to the Locked On Orioles podcast there may be a couple rumors going on surrounding Dylan Cease of the White Sox, which sounds good to me, but the thing is: I really hope they don't fuck up the farm system... I'd rather see money spent than see a few of those dudes get traded. Some, I realize, are there only for trade pieces. But, not Jackson or Mayo, and so far I'm feeling that way about the centerfielder, although his name eludes my mind at the moment (Enrique? Something like that..?)

I've got good feelings about the leadership (Angelos aside, kinda) and I think they've done a hell of a job, shit we just won a hundred games! The next few years are gonna be absolutely phenomenal baseball. And I'm high on the O's again!

I was definitely beginning to think I was only one here. Cheers!

Fuckin Go O's!
