Stark: O's in thick of Garza sweepstakes

[kudzu]

Nats made a great deal for them...Gio's been great.

Sure. But at the time the deal was made, plenty of people panned the Nats for "giving up the farm" for him. Admittedly, that was my knee-jerk reaction initially as well.

But you can't get something for nothing, ya know ?

Getting Angelos to make a smart aggressive deal like that will probably be pretty near impossible....

Angelos would rather be right than have a winning baseball team. Which is why the O's are doomed as long as he owns them.

Getting Thome is a classic O's move. . . if they do nothing else. They have a month remaining to show us these aren't the same old O's.

Heck.....in about a month.....they aren't likely to even have Thome himself the way things are trending. They'll have to ship him off to an actual contender.

There's no doubt in my mind they'll acquire some pitching. Duquette even said today they plan on acquiring some arms. Now, the extent of how good that pitching is may be questionable.

No, but you can get nothing for nothing

I'm not sure what we're debating here.

My point earlier was the Garza does not equal Gio, then I agreed with Angelos not being willing to spend money...
