(In either scenario I'm presuming we sign Ruiz or similar)
-
Which would you rather do? A. Keep Rasmus, Stroman and Sanchez and sign Garza or Tanaka (good but not ace caliber starter at ~ 15MM per) B. Trade Rasmus plus one of Stoman or Sanchez plus maybe Janssen for a higher level pitcher (eg. Price, Sale) and sign Choo or Ellsbury as a free agent B makes the team better in 2014 than A does, BUT it costs you a top pitching prospect and costs more $$
-
Osuna is TJS recovering isn't he? And so young too. I'd think any team would MUCH prefer Sanchez or Stroman.
-
AA has really painted himself in to a corner 1. He can't go half assed in to next year (ie. fail to updrade SP and C) or he's doomed for failure and he knows it 2. He's (presumably) pushing payroll limits to some degree 3. He's already traded away half the good prospects and the ones he kept aren't all performing. He can't really afford to trade for a David Price or Chris Sale without losing the bit of quality farm (Sanchez, Stroman especially) he has left. He really has no choice for 2014 but to throw good money after bad and pick up a FA catcher and SP and cross his fingers. If the team fails next year despite that it's time for a total rebuild and a new GM

And it you're planning a full rebuild after next year there's no Bautista out there
-
Plus he likes the relaxed marijuana laws up here so...
-
I'd say that was one of those years where there were really good position players with excellent years (Bautista, Cabrera, Ellsbury) but maybe not a CLEAR front runner among them? Not sure what the voters thought exactly but maybe those guys "split the vote"
-
Above from Jayson Stark FYI if people were wondering and didn't click the link -
Neither will be tied to draft pick compensation either which is nice. I want AA in hard on one of them.
-
You pretty much only see pitchers get it when one has an insane year AND there's no clear cut positional player who stands out above every body. But McCutheon is doing the latter. No disrespect to Kershaw - he gets the Cy, McCutheon is MVP.

We should also extend Colby for 4 years first too for a bit less than he might be through arbitration next two years. #JobSecurity
-
That's the plan mid or end of 2014 if the team still sux
-
Exactly That's all AA has to work with We can't trade Edwin, Lawrie, Reyes or any of the (2) reliable starters because we need them

lates claydavenport.com odds for the AL Wildcard contenders: AL Wild-Card Rays 95.4% Indians 77.6% Rangers 26.9%
-
What about Snider? Arencibia? Beede? Jenkins? Oh wait, now I see your point...
-
Groan. I'm tired of having a farm full of "athletes" who can't hit.
-
I have an idea. Since the only good farm pieces we have are pitchers, and the high school ones are always high risk, why not draft some position players with hit tools that we know we can actually sign. Is that so crazy?????
-
Yeah I kind of do...
-
Excellent point
-
I don't care about Tampa particularly I just want either them or Oakland to destroy the Red Sox in the playoffs I don't want to see those Farrelly Sox in the World Series
-
Actually it's interesting though because both Indians and Rangers are playing s***** teams to end the season (Twins and Angels) So Tampa really does have to go all out and probably take 2/3 from us to ensure they make it
-
Not bad Good thing we are finishing against Tampa. Rays will almost certainly hang on to a wild card spot, but still have to stay ahead of at least one Texas or Cleveland
