We're full up on offensive guys limited to one or two positions.

our offense ain't the issue; it's the pitching.

The O's lineup is actually pretty nice. - musubi Jun 2, 09:04
now that you finally got smart and brought the kids up. - groiny Jun 2, 09:02 13
- Unlike Will, I disagree. Since the Pie deal had already been done. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 2, 09:17
- I don't disagree. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 09:04 11
  - It's debateable whether using youngsters pre-FA elligible years are worthwhile if you aren't gonna contend. - musubi Jun 2, 09:06 10
    - I believe young hitters need to play at the ML level. Pitchers are another story. - groiny Jun 2, 09:09 5
      - Keeping them on the farm as long as they did is *precisely because* they aren't in contention. - musubi Jun 2, 09:14 2
        
        the Indians were competetive for years by signing young guys while they were cheap. - groiny Jun 2, 09:17
        
        Er, weren't. (nm) - musubi Jun 2, 09:15

        If he can throw strikes, he is fine. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 2, 09:10
    - At some point, they're going to either be the answer or not. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 09:08 3
      - There are only so many days that young players are cheap. Point being, you try to sync those days to when you're feilding a competitive team. (nm) - musubi Jun 2, 09:13 2
        
        the O's can't go the "cheap" route playing in that division. - groiny Jun 2, 09:15 1
        
        They *have* to because they are in that division. They aren't going to outspend the Yanks or Sox. (nm) - musubi Jun 2, 09:16
