    It's a tough situation in that the team will really miss the 2-3 wins Dickey and Buehrle provide if they move one. The salary is expensive, especially in Buehrle's case, but for the price you get pretty bankable production, and I don't think you get much back via trade. Re-investing the money and getting more than 2-3 wins in return will not be easy.
  2. BTS
    That rotation would likley be one of the worst in baseball. Not that Buehrle really helps much, but that is not a good group.
  3. BTS
    Nori Aoki would be awesome for LF at like 3/20. Rajai Davis and Chris Denorfia are potentially useful. Why the hell wasn't Davis retained in the first place?
  4. BTS
    $120 M would be an absolute death sentence. I'm expecting something in the $135-145 M range. Which probably still isn't enough for this group. Either way, I'm expecting $10-12 million to be spent on two free agent relievers.

    Holy f*** I love being in the Monte Cristo.

    I think I'm in the minority in that I really don't want Reimold back. League-average-ish bat with no evidence of platoon split, only plays LF, doesn't play it well, no baserunning value. Meh. The OF could really use another capable CF defender, preferably one that hits from the right side and can do it reasonably well.
  7. BTS
    I think he'd but up some gaudy defensive numbers in LF. Plus plus defense + average bat = pretty good player.
  8. BTS
    Rasmus at like $5-6 million would be amazing. You could use him in LF, in a platoon, or as a 4th OF. He has a useful MLB skillset, and somebody is going to extract value from it.
  9. BTS
    I wonder how good a defender Lawrie is a 2B. Valencia/Francisco at 3B, Reyes at SS, Lind/Edwin at 1B, and Navarro at C is abysmal.
  10. BTS
    Francisco is a nice fit for the roster as currently constructed IMO. If his arb salary is ~$3 million, that's decent value. He's a very good bench bat, can play first and isn't terrible at third. Insurance at DH for when Lind goes down etc... I think there will probably be a place for him. Really not keen on paying market value for Melky. I'd rather target a LF with a more under-valued skill set (defense). Melky is a complete butcher.
  11. BTS
    The only option I'd pick up is Lind. As for the arb guys, I could see Reimold, Valencia, and Kawasaki potentially tendered depending on how things go. Anyone know the option situation on the three?
  12. BTS
    We don't have one yet.
  13. BTS
    Gose in CF, and get a 4th OF who can play CF and preferably hit RH so Gose doesn't have to hit the toughest lefties. Craig Gentry's skill set would be perfect.
  14. BTS
    I don't see any chance he's QO'd unless he hots like 15 homeruns ROS. $15 million is a huge chunk of available payroll space this offseason.
  15. BTS
    Non-tender deadline is going to be VERY interesting this year.
  16. BTS
    This thread was fun last year, so let’s do it again. I tried to keep the projected roster at guys who earned a place this year and are likely to make next year’s team. IMO the only virtual locks to not be non-tendered are Lawrie, Francisco, and Hutchison. C – Martin (7) 1B – Encarnacion (10) 2B – Travis (nm) 3B – Donaldson (arb1 proj. 4.5) SS – Reyes (22) RF – Bautista (14) CF – Pompey (nm) LF – Pillar (nm) DH – Navarro (5) 2B/3B – Maicer Izturis (3) 3B - Valencia (arb1 proj. 1.7) C - Thole (1.75) SP – Dickey (12) SP – Buehrle (19) SP – Romero (7.5) SP - Happ (6.7) SP – Hutchison (nm) SP – Stroman (nm) RP - Estrada (arb3 proj. 4.7) RP – Brett Cecil (arb2 proj. 2.6) RP – Aaron Loup (nm) RP – Todd Redmond (nm) RP - Liam Hendriks (nm) $122.95

    lol

    I haven't commented about the magnitude of his defensive decline. What I've said is that his base-running has seen a very sharp decline, and given that he plays CF, it wouldn't exactly be shocking if his defense were also impacted to a significant degree.
  19. BTS
    Lol jk
  20. BTS
    Huh? What's most likely happening is that he's not as fast as he was when he was lighter, and his defense and baserunning have suffered because of it.
  21. BTS
    Robbie Grossman is part of a pending trade. I'm just waiting on Spanky to tell me who he's dropping before I add him.
  22. BTS
    Who's first on our promotion list?
  23. BTS
    That isn't what's happening though.
  24. BTS
    Speed. If his base running ability has declined significantly, it wouldn't be surprising that he's lost a step or two in the OF as well.
  25. BTS
    Also, pre-season laughingstock the Monte Cristo is now the only division in the league with two 0.600+ winning % teams. MC Represent.
