Bye Bye Big Jim Johnson!!! Im kinda torn right now with how I feel on the situation. Whether letting the leagues best closer(101 Saves) in the last 2 years is a mistake or whether letting the Big Man go was a masterful move freeing up over 10M in available money considering the amount of blown saves he had, with the majority being against division foes. Regardless in how I feel the deal is done! Im hoping that in doing so we can nab a few Marque players in Free Agency. Yes I said a few. Meaning Not One or Two but maybe 3. Come on Peter, dont b the stingy bastard of old. Turn the corner and give us all a few gifts under our Xmas Trees. Im hoping for Utility IF Michael Young to sure up the IF till Our Boy, Platinum Glove Winner Manny is back to himself. A power hitting DH like Carlos Beltran who can play some OF to give some ppl a day off or A power hitting 1B like Billy Butler (since weve had our eyes on him for years) who can take the place of Chris Davis if we cant/wont dish out the cash to keep him and Matt Weiters & A top of the Rotation Guy who can give u a full season with 12+ wins to match Chris Tillmans Production like Matt Garza/Scott Kazmir who can give our young pitching staff some veteran leadership or Ubaldo Jimenez who is much younger then the other 2 but could b a cheaper pick up with an even greater upside. Please for all that is Holy, PLEASE Peter give US THE GREAT FANS OF THE Baltimore Orioles A REASON TO B HAPPY AFTER THE WINTER MEETINGS END. We are so close to making the Playoffs and with these added pieces we will not only make the playoffs but have a VERY VERY GOOD SHOT AT THE TITLE BEFORE FREE AGENCY HITS US IN 2015 & Scott Boras rips us a new one (because he not only represents Matt Weiters but also Chris Davis). I know u have it in U, U Old bastard just do us all a favor and listen to the fans and your awesome Manager!
