What you (and Oriole Paul) have said makes sense. <br /><br />I'll miss watching him play, he was a favorite but I guess it's time to move on.Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534235676864614634.post-6045046654657991382014-12-04T23:45:06.188-05:002014-12-04T23:45:06.188-05:00I am glad we did not overpay for Cruz and Markakis...I am glad we did not overpay for Cruz and Markakis. I have a huge Fat Head in my game room of #21 and he's been a favorite of mine for a long time, but overpaying for memories is a bad business plan. I am impressed Duquette has stood tough through the crap I'm sure that is coming over the radio waves. Put Delmon at DH, Pearce in LF and Alvarez/De Aza/Urritia combo in RF. 8M from Cruz, 15M from Markakis= enough money to pay Kemp. No one on the <br />FA market is worth the $$$ it would take to get them in B'more. Nicky, thanks for the effort!Oriole Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569667593688218999noreply@blogger.com
