FanFest has come and gone and the Orioles did not announce the signing of free agent Vlad Guerrero. While Guerrero’s agent claims he has a larger offer on the table than that of the Orioles, Jon Heyman of SI.com thinks he’s bluffing.
#angels seem focused on leadoff and bench, not vladdy. #baltimoreorbust?

It was rumored that the Vlad’s other offer was $8 million, $3.5 million and incentives more than the O’s offer to Guerrero.
Buster Olney also tweeted on Saturday that the Orioles are set on their offer to Guerrero, a package between $4.5-5 million, which is more than we had previously heard.
If this report is true, than Vladimir is a complete idiot. Let's do the math, one team offers $8 mil, the other $4.5…and he's thinking about it?!!
Truth is, there is no other offer. The Orioles are the only team to make an offer or else he would have just signed with this other mystery team.
Unless someone really swoops in at the last minute, and it's possible, I think Vlad is playing in Baltimore or not at all.
.312/29/115, I will take that over anything else the Orioles had to offer last year. When was the last time we had TWO home run threats in the same lineup?
