Looks like we will know very shortly what Ellerbe decides to do....

Dannell Ellerbe ‏@ellerbe59
Just wanna take time to THANK GOD for being in this position I'm in! Before I make da BIGGEST DECISION in my life I just wanna thank him!!!

[arnie_uk]

See the free agency thread. He must have a couple offers on the table

[pylon03]

I HOPE SO!!!! We need him signed before free agency starts

[ravensfan160]

Free agency does start in about 20 minutes. That tweet doesn't really mean anything.

[Sizzlebshu]

Sounds like he is going to leave. My guess would be Cleveland or Arizona.

Arizona would have a great MLB tandem there...

Assuming Ellerbe stays healthy, which in all liklihood he wont.

and that's when he will accept an offer

[MARYLANDMIKE21224]

Anyone would love him for maybe 10 games next year, rest of time he will be on the sidelines hurt !

[UMDan]

That tweet makes me nervous, also sounds to me like he's leaving.

[blackandpurplesacks]

I think I would be okay if he left. He's not worth 6 mil a year. Rays cap hit was only 6 mil for this coming year. He will get hurt and miss some games. Would love to see Nigel Carr get a chance out there. Maybe draft Hodges in the middle rounds this year. No need to put a lot of money in MLB

Sounds to me like he's trying to decide to stay in Bmore for less than what's being offered elsewhere.

Just b/c he was hurt this year doesn't mean he will be next season. It's like your wishing an injury on him if he's not a Raven next season. Not cool.

[Ravens<3]

I have the feeling we overpay him & he stays.

[Bazooka Joe]

I thank God for him but Ellerbe should just go elsewhere. He's not a $30 million player

[blackandpurplesacks]

Not at all wishing injury on him. He has missed time every year. Missed more time last year than this year. Given his past, injury is very possible, if not likely.

Cap finally looks decent. If he is "overpaid" I hope its a deal where he gets his money in the first year and goes down considerably. I do hope it's a fair deal though.

Ellerbe for McClain contract is the one I would take. But I don't see that happening.

That's what it sounds like to me too. Contemplating whether he should follow the money and leave the team that gave him his shot in the league, got him his ring, or stay for a lesser paycheck.

Ravens, Dannell Ellerbe haven't struck a deal, I'm told. He hits the market.
