I'd rather have Goins than Tulo at SS for 2016+. AINEC.

[Jimcanuck]

What are you talking about? They have the same team minus Price, and plus Travis and Stroman.

 

no price, burly, and probably no estrada is 3/5 of the starting rotation

 

so maybe even with martin's backloaded contract, they can afford a FA pitcher on a multi year

 

more likely the SP is Stro, Dickey, Hutch, Osuna (?), ?

 

offensively, yes, no change other than a year older

[Boxcar]

sounds about right

 

Don't tease me with this Heyward business.

Well they are the second oldest team in baseball (by a hair). Attrition has to claim someone eventually. They've been remarkably fortunate with guys like Bautista, Edwin, Buehrle and Dickey not missing a beat into their mid/late 30s.

Let's face it, the team was supposed to be in tatters by now after the horrible Marlins and Mets trades, but it isn't.

Guys, it might be the beer, but I've agreed with 100% of Jimcanuck's posts ITT.

Is Estrada not arb eligible still? Stroman, Dickey, Hutch, Osuna, possibly Kazmir or Samardzija. I would wet myself if we nabbed Heyward for RF and moved JB to first.

Some of them aren't even factually correct you lummox.

Nope. Not that it really matters.

$16M for Estrada, after a career year?

Not really a maybe, they should be able to afford at least two solid arms.

Also, wasn't Bautista in decline after the 2012 season? And, are we still concerned about EE?
