I haven’t looked at the MASN story but in my humble opinion B-Rob is worth more than Floyd.
He led the league last year in so many categories for a very long time. don’t know how he fared at end of year but for a god majority of the season he lead with Triples, Doubles, and I think stolen bases.
I do agree with you about Angelos but I have no major complaints with MacPhail…I’m still on his bandwagon.

MASN sports has the story. The Birds are asking for more, of course. Peter Angelos and Andy Macphail need to try another sport.Garret Olson for Felix Pie straight up should have been done and the b-rob deal last off season should have been done, melvin mora should never have been extended, jay payton, javy lopez, sammy sosa!!! It doesn’t matter who is the GM at the time, they’re all terrible decisions.

Nice! I HATE that we have to let go of B-Rob, but I know we are at that point. I know. Im way too sentimental. Just looked up Floyd’s numbers,
3.67 ERA with a 17-8 record last year. He’s from Annapolis and is also a graduate of Mt. St. Joe’s same place as Tex.
Where did you hear this from?

Thanks MDbird. I’m sure most B-More fans were glad to see him go. But based on his subsequent replacement, I’d take him over Mark Hendrickson any day, any season. Now I hear Chi Sox would be willing to send Gavin Floyd for Brian Roberts straight up. I would do that in a heartbeat. The O’s offense is pretty decent and they need pitching desperately. Floyd is young and from the area. Second baseman can be replaced, they don’t have to be the face of the offense.

If Teixeira struggles he won’t get off that easy. For some reason scumbag Yankee fans loved Giambi, probably because he’s a dirtbag just like them. And he BALCO’d those two bombs off Pedro in game 7 of ’03. Remember all the fake pussy ticklers in the stands this year during the “Vote for Big G” campaign? That shit made me sick. I’m so glad we never have to hear him lovingly refered to as “Big G” or “The Giambino” ever again.

Nice job.

As for the O’s and Cabrera…he might have some juice left in him but it was not going to pan out in Baltimore. I was glad to see him go.
