Nick Young says he hates the Wizards and he's enjoying the 'atmosphere of winning' in L.A. (Lakers are 11-24)

Somehow Nick Young has managed to get dumber after having left this organization.
He'll be fine. He is going to be the closest thing to Ray Allen we've seen in a while.

It would pretty much doom the Orioles next season if he left right now. The only reason I have faith in their patient start to the off-season is because Duqeuette's skill in finding gems in the rough. Without that, the O's have basically missed out on all the talent on the free agent market and lost important pieces from within.

Angelos: "I have said and will repeat that Dan is a sophisticated professional. His contract has 4 remaining yrs to serve as GM of Orioles and he's expected to perform under terms of his contract."

Dan Duqette was the GMSM of baseball. He had an eye for talent but had personal problems dealing with people (allegedly).
Sad to see him go
MacPhail and all predecessors dating back for decades were failures; it's no coincidence the winning started after Duqette took the reins
Good luck in Tor

Can't really understate what MacPhail did for the Orioles. He laid the groundwork of the franchise. Jones, Tillman, Davis, Wieters, Machado, Hardy, etc. were all MacPhail acquisitions or draft picks.

Duquette put the finishing touches to turn a promising roster into a competitive one. McPhee built the core of this Capitals team, yet plenty of people are willing to give MacLellan credit for transforming how it performed this season. Even though the moves were very different, it's a similar principle. Both MacPhail and Duquette deserve a lot of credit for the Orioles, and losing Duquette would certainly be a blow right now.

Think about that for a second. The Wiz might be in the running for a 50 win season.
Is this real life?

Idk, I've never been a fan of Duquette back to his Boston days. Yeah he hit on Cruz, but what's the point if you couldn't re-sign him, essentially traded a 1st for 1 year. Completely flopped on Ubaldo(as I expected). Did a nice job with finding a couple of gems(McClouth, Delmon, etc.).
He failed to really improve what the team needed OBP and starting pitching, of course we don't know how hamstrung he was with Angelos being so stingy. This off-season has been a disaster thus far.

Duquette hasn't improved the starting pitching? While he hasn't brought in aces, guys like Chen, Gonzalez, Hammel, and Norris have certainly improved the rotation compared to what he inherited.
There's good reason why Duquette won AL Executive of the Year.
