The big change I want the owners to make is to let baseball people make baseball decisions. The Angelos family’s style of management is handicapping the Orioles. The Angelos’ reluctance to fully participate in signing international players is ridiculous. The new international signing period begins July 2nd and the Orioles allocation is $ 5.5M. Hopefully this year the O’s will not trade away portions of that allocation for minor league retreads.

No doubt that Angelos has been a disaster. I can remember when he first bought the team, we all rejoiced that a Baltimorean was going to take ownership after years of poor management from out of towners .. and the constant fear of team relocation that goes along with it. That cannot be understated, as the loss of the Colts was still fresh in our minds.

The man is 88. For God sakes, Peter, let it go. Of course, we'd love for him to sell, but unfortunately, he has offspring. It would appear there will be no sale and it will be passed down instead. If they follow his model, then I guess we can expect this style of unsuccessful ownership for the foreseeable future.

Wish Biscotti could buy the O's too but I know that would be a dream.

To your point @balfan23, Peter has already allowed his sons to have more control over the Orioles. This article also points out what's currently going on in the front office as well.

Hopefully it is time for Oriole management to honestly evaluate how to build a team in MLB today. Then recognize what has gone wrong recently and make the appropriate changes.

To tell you the truth I thought entering the season we was going to be pretty darn good. I had no problem with them signing Cashner nor Cobb. We got several batters hitting under .200. Why? We just don't have a winning atmosphere right now.

So Machado isn't lighting it up in LA, Schoop isn't doing much for the Brewers. Interesting.

Meh. Doesn't make me feel any better.

I guess the bright spot is we are only 56 1/2 games out of first place. Impressive!
