Offseason Roster Thread 2016-17

[Bobthe4th]

I would change the sentence that "For the Money Bautista is going to get, I'd want him back".

 

Would you give him 3/60? If not what's your limit?

[z3r0s]

What do ppl think of Romo as a BP arm? What kind of deal is he going to command?

 

Not sure he is allowed back in Canada after that WBC fight, but he's been a solid BP arm.

[burlingtonbandit]

I'd do 3/50.

[Bobthe4th]

I'd do 3/50.

 

I'd still only do that if he accepts he's no longer an outfielder. Which tbf he might.

 

Expecting someone to give him more though, either in years or money.

Well he's said he's willing to play anywhere..

Cecil leaving for STL leaves Aaron Loup as the only lefty in the pen for next year. Would like to see Jerry Blevins or Boone Logan brought in. Possibly JP Howell.

Girodo likely makes the roster if we don't sign anyone.....

 

I really hope we sign someone.

It's a really bad year to be looking for a lefty. There are a lot of RH relievers available, but not lefties. If the Blevins, Logan, and Howell markets get up near 20M, we're probably out, and rightfully so.

[z3r0s]

Though I agree that I can't see us making a trade for McCutchen, Upton can play CF as can Pompey, if we lost Pillar and didn't directly replace him.

 

For the money Bautista wants, I wouldn't want him back.

 

The way the market is shaping up, I'd bring back Jose to play 1B in a heartbeat. I think is possible that he's a steal if the market doesn't jump up here.

[Daniel Labude]

But would it be better value to let Bautista go and get the pick,then sign someone for 1B

Any potential rule 5 picks out there that can do a lefty version of Biagini for us?

[RealAccountant]

Just sign a bunch of failed starters with strikeout stuff

Depends on what he can get.

 

Considering we already have a DH, and even playing 1B you'd want to rest Bautista from the field every now and then, anything more than 3 years and/or approaching $20m AAV isn't worth it IMO.

I agree, hard to tell what the market actually is, but I don't see anyone offering more than that at this point, especially with a pick attached.

I think he'll be offered at least 3/60 (if he hasn't already). But he could easily reject that thinking he'll get more, and then have to settle for less.

 

Ideal situation - he resigns on a 1 year deal for less than the QO ala Ian Desmond last year.

[ILikeSoccerandBaseball09]

What are our options if Fowler doesn't sign with us? Market for OF'ers is pretty thin.

Joyce, Beltran, Bautista, Gomez, Cespedes, Desmond, Saunders, Rasmus, Pagan

[Bobthe4th]

Joyce, Beltran, Bautista, Gomez, Cespedes, Desmond, Saunders, Rasmus, Pagan

 

And available in trades - Bruce, McCutchen, Gardner, Braun, Kemp, Jay etc.

Overall only 3 or 4 that we should be interested in for the outfield!

[MusicaEsLivida]

Rumour mills says White Sox may make certain players available. so..

 

What about bring Melky Cabrera back. Cost? Opinion?

[Spanky99]

Girodo likely makes the roster if we don't sign anyone.....

 

I really hope we sign someone.

 

Yeah, it'd be nice to get a guy like Boone or Blevins, if it's in house Girodo or Demody are certainly decent options.

[Abomination]

I assume Dermody probably makes the pen too, and could be very, very good.

Demasiadas drogas amigos. It's tiempo to stop

Ethier could be available too, although that isn't completely clear.

[jays4life19]

Anyone think the Dbacks would be dumb and sell low on Patrick Corbin? He was really good as a RP last year.

Melky is a terrible fielder. He'd be more interesting as a DH, but we have Morales.

 

Bringing Lawrie back could be interesting if we were to turn him into a super util guy. He can play pretty much every position in a pinch, and would provide nice protection at 3B and 2B. I see no reason he couldn't be average to above average in the OF and 1B too. I'd love to buy lowish on Abreu.

[BlueJayWay]

Lawrie and Donaldson in the same clubhouse. It needs to happen.

[jaysblue]

They need him as a starter.

 

Rubby De La Rosa would be a nice SP to target as a reliever.

[BlueJaysGirl]

I kind of wish instead of signing Morales they had traded for Melky Cabrera. At least he can play some LF. And he won't clog the base paths like lead footed Morales. He'd be a really nice number 2 hitter.
