Re-sign Chris Tillman

OK, make it two right. The sound you hear is me patting myself on the back. However, this wasn’t as much as what I thought the Orioles would do as much as what I thought they should do based on what I believe is their own financial constraints. Are there safer bets out there than Tillman, given his dreadful 2017 performance? Sure. But considering what he ended up costing the Orioles on a one-year deal — $3 million guaranteed on a contract that will make him $10 million total if he reaches 200 innings in 2018 – and what he accomplished prior to 2017, it made plenty of sense to bring him back.
