Interesting comments… makes several points of note:

– Goes out of his way to compliment Mr. Angelos’ work with his organization.
– Reiterates once again that he wants contract talk completed prior to the season.
– Says talks with the Orioles have been quiet (though that could partly be because he was on his honeymoon).
– Says he would like to play with Markakis for the next 4 or 5 years… a not so subtle clue to the length of contract he is looking for.

There are some realistic reasons to believe a 3 year contract extension might be too much for Roberts… 5 is out of the question.

If the Orioles want to extend him, I imagine they can find a 4 year deal both parties are happy with.
