Offseason Roster Thread

[Deadpool]

Think of mods as a police force. Sometimes really bad things happen and the police are called to investigate and restore order (like the mods do in soooooo many GDT). Other times they deal with people crying wolf and just whining over a minor little issue and they try to calm people down and get them level again so the situation doesn't escalate.

 

I also enjoy lording my power over you mere mortals... That may be just me...

[raku1108]

ahhhh.... wish I knew anything goes here... so I wouldn't hold back... but I ain't from TO so can't blame me for being rational!

[Abomination]

Cishek could be a real interesting guy to sign. Has closing experience, and shouldn't cost a ton.

I wonder if he even gets a guaranteed contract? He was awful this year. Would love to take a flier on him for almost nothing.

[raku1108]

Wtf is going on tonight?

Turn on your tv, select CNN!

[Ziggyy108]

every thread turns to s*** ....

 

 

cmooon guys!

[KingKat]

The bench is kind of full now.

 

LF - Revere

1B - Colabello

 

1B - Smoak

inf - Goins

OF - Saunders

OF - Pompey

 

Someone has to be shipped out to make room for a backup catcher.

 

Yeah it's weird that they kept so many guys. I think most of us thought it would probably come down to something like Saunders OR Smoak. Starting to feel like the team could use a new GM sooner rather than later. I get that Shapiro could veto these moves if he wanted to but that doesn't mean that they aren't coming from LeCava. I understand the risk in putting all your eggs in one basket payroll wise but right now it seems like Lacava might be spreading the money a bit too thin.

[BlueBirdBro]

Is the only position we need left backup catcher?

[L54]

Is the only position we need left backup catcher?

 

Along with a couple of bullpen arms, then minor league depth.

 

A back up MIF wouldn't hurt this team either with Travis' return uncertain.

Backup C and a couple of relievers.

[BlueBirdBro]

Sorry, should have said position player. I know the bullpen could use some work.

[raku1108]

Greg Holland pls...

[glory]

We've spent $0. One or two of those guys could be traded before the start of the season.

 

Yeah there probably will be a deal at some point. I know Shapiro talked about depth, but I can't possibly see Smoak, Cola, Saunders, and Revere all on the team next season. Since no one is going to trade for Smoak making $3.9m, my guess is they are trying to find a taker for Colabello since he provides no positional versatility and Smoak is not going to back-up for nearly $4m.

[raku1108]

No, it's not okay to do that stuff. If you're being respectful to people and they're insulting you back, they'll be reprimanded.

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

Thanks! Finally somebody with decency!

Yeah the bench though technically full doesn't really make sense right now. There has to be some more moves. Maybe the front office already knows where it can trade some of these guys.

[L54]

Seems as if Colabello is viewed expendable by Shapiro. Which is weird, considering he's arguably better than Smoak for like 1/7th the price.

It's fun knowing that there will be moves. Excited to see what the new regime has up their sleeves. Next week could be crazy.

[GreekFatAss]

Its going to be harder for him to replicate his biggest asset last year (Luck) than Smoak to replicate his great defense and above average power.

[KingKat]

Well maybe that makes him attractive in a trade. Seems like these recent moves only work if there's other corresponding moves lined up.

[GD]

Cesar Ramos?

[Scion]

Cesar Ramos?

 

I'd be interested, he was effective against righties too last year which is a plus.

[Brownie19]

This is not the official MLB.com board, this is not the comment section of Sportsnet. My advice to you is to read a bit and get the lay of the land before you start shouting at regular posters and hitting "report". If you don't develop a thicker skin, you aren't going to find your stay here very fun.

 

I'll say it. Deadpool is right

[TheHurl]

Nick Hagadone for me. Shapiro would know best about his elbow.

[Grant77]

Nick Hagadone for me.

 

Absolutely agree. I've been mentioning him for a while. I'm a little surprised the Indians let him go.

Any idea if Delabar has options? You're usually on top of these things. I think he burned his in 2012, 2014, and 2015 but I'm not sure.

[skirbs11]

So backup Catcher and 2 or 3 bull pen arms is all that really remains??

 

I would still like to see Dickey and Revere traded and use there money to get better starter to pair at the top of the rotation with Stro.

 

And possibly do we see Hutchinson traded? is his time as a starter done or can he serve as an arm in the pen?
