Or Sherrill. Why were we so high on Grabow? Was the asking price too high for Sherill?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
From all reports, yeah. Everything I'd heard is that we wanted Sherrill the most if possible, but the Orioles were asking way too much. And as I showed earlier, Kevin Gregg was terrific in June and July, so they didn't think it was worth it to give up all that for Sherrill, as they were just looking for a solid lefty and Grabow could be had for a much cheaper price. Move to now, I think they try to get a Sherrill deal done for sure.
