  1. More evasion and half-truths. If the team can't go beyond $132 this year in a pennant race, there's no reason to expect them to next year. And as things stand they're at $95-100 million committed, but with no 2B, CF, LF, bench or bullpen and only 4 starting pitchers. So they have "flexibility", but a lot of holes to fill with ~$30 million.
  2. Mattias Janmark if he's available.
  3. I'm not a huge believer in his team this year. He has some very nice pieces, but IMO he lacks the depth. Given his success so far this year it does make for an interesting decision for him.
  4. Nope. Getting that man to actually listen and respond to an offer on one of his guys is like pulling teeth.
  5. Temporarily back on top of the MC Division. Sammy falling out of it?
  6. Wait, the Rays aren't the worst team in the AL?!
  7. Lewis is an idiot who's bad at baseball.
  8. Jamie Moyer is probably my favourite baseball player ever.
  9. I'm actually pretty excited about this. I love Brad Mills.
  10. Regardless of the state of the bullpen, adding a likely replacement-level (or worse) arm is not a solution.
  11. The issue is that there is absolutely no reason to believe that Sanchez can help.
  12. Even 110 would surprise me at this point TBH. But I also hate him profoundly after wasting my 2nd round pick on him, so there's that. Also, I sent you a proboards PM.
  13. Eww. Lawrie looks like a 95-105 wRC+ guy while Rendon looks like a 120+ wRC+ guy IMO.
  14. I'm with Boxy here. If the Royals are acquiring 2.5 cheap years of Edwin you're looking at something like Zimmer/Manaea + Dozier/Mondesi +. Edwin's value is astronomical.
  15. I don't like counting my chickens before they hatch. Most likely scenario is that one of Hoffman, Norris, Osuna, and Sanchez becomes an average or better starter. And by that time one of Hutch/Stroman might have become a pumpkin. Projected rotations 2-3 years down the road never ever ever come close to working out. At least Hutch and Stroman are currently adequate starters in the majors.
  16. Scorched earth. All of the team's best players are old as s***. Current players on the roster I'm penciling in for contention in three years would look something like: SP - Stroman SP - Hutchison OF - Gose 3B/2B - Lawrie So two mid-rotation starters, a 2-3 win infielder, and a nifty 4th OF. If there were more pieces in place it might make sense to keep one or both of Edwin and Bautista through the rebuild, but that doesn't make sense for two reasons: 1) they are far and away the team's two most valuable assets and rebuilding without trading them in for multiple pieces would be difficult, and 2) this isn't going to be a 1-2 year retool. The organization is devoid of young talent that projects to help significantly in the majors in the next 3-4 years. It could be 5 years before the team is ready to win, and at that point Edwin and Bautista will be on the wrong side of 35. Tear it all down .
  17. I could see you making some noise in the playoffs. Darvish, Cashner, Lincencum, Morton, Ubaldo are capable of taking down any staff in a given week and you have the bats to win some categories against the best teams in a good week.
  18. Quite enjoying. He's going to be around 50th overall in value this year if he's healthy ROS. Lawrie will be lucky to crack the top 400.
  19. Actually, as egregious as my pick was, I kinda almost salvaged most of the value by trading him for Kuma. IMO he's not a significantly worse asset than 2nd rounder like Zimmerman, Cain, Pujols, Gonzalez, Hamilton, and Kinsler. Obviously I'd like to re-do the pick though.
  20. Crazy thing is, I'm winning that trade handily!
  21. Speedy nailed this. Boxy is the big loser here IMO. Russell will be lucky to become as good as Rendon is right now.
  22. You still haven't responded to my initial offer meat!
  23. Voted Sabathia. Could be ~$100 million completely wasted.
  24. Why haven't you IL'd him? Smart guy. Absolutely miserable to interact with.
