08:14 AM ET 08.03 | Is Andy MacPhail trying to tell Baltimore fans something? The acquisition of a major-league-ready-but-unproven first baseman and a minor league first base prospect should send a message to fans that the Orioles will not be very interested in Prince Fielder this winter. Obviously, there's no comparison between Chris Davis and Fielder, but the fact that the Orioles have shored up their organizational depth at first base will make it impossible -- in my opinion -- to convince Peter Angelos to spend more than $100 million to bring in another one, even if Fielder has left open the possibility of moving into a full-time designated hitter role.

Because Fielder is the missing piece for the O's...

When I saw the words "O's bowing out of.." I naturally assumed the last word was "baseball".

Angelos must be making a ton of money off the Nationals contract with his sports network. He's given up caring at all about his team and doesn't even bother trying.

If they think Chris Davis is their answer for 1b they are smokin' some great stuff. Davis has shown he is a very good AAA player and that is it.

Fielder to Minny? Morneau's done, f@%& Aaron hill. Wont happen but Milwaukee & the Twin cities arent that far apart.

Nobody wants to go 2 Balt, their division is 2 tough to win in, Boston Yankees Rays Jays are too good.
