Please god no

I guess it depends on how firm that rumoured 5M in budget space is. 9-10M gets them a pretty good upgrade in the OF or 1B, but 5M probably doesn't.
-
Looks like Justin Smoak is going to cost the team a chance at a Moss/Saunders/Pagan/Valbuena.
-
I don't see the holes you keep mentioning. We can all agree that a good OF/1B would be great. What other holes are there? There's backup catcher, where it's probably unrealistic to expect anyone tangibly better than Jimenez to want to play behind Martin. There's the bullpen, which already has six good arms (Osuna, Grilli, Biagini, Loup, Barnes, Sparkman). I mean, sure, a vet backup catcher and good pen arm would be nice, but neither are really necessary. And there are still two months left to add them.
-
I'd prefer Valbuena (for 1B and Pearce to OF), Pagan, or Moss.
-
Bautista signing fills a big hole in the roster. I'd love to hear Shapiro say he's going to play 1B, but he's probably going to be in RF. Remaining areas that could use upgrades: - backup catcher (AJ Jimenez currently slotted in) - one or two arms for the bullpen - another player who can play the OF I don't think anyone wants to enter the season with an OF that has a 3-4-5 of Upton, Carrera, and Pompey. Moss or Pagan for LF, Upton as the 4th OF, and Carrera as the 5th OF, with pompey as depth in AAA would really finish up the lineup.
-
I'd love to see a transition to 1B. He could elongate his career if his extensive 3B experience translates to average or better 1B defense.
-
You still consider it a weak offseason if this is true? - Bautista on a 2-year deal that's apparently lower than anyone would have expected entering the offseason - Pearce on a very cheap 2-year deal - Gurriel on a cheap 7-year deal - Morales on maybe a 1-year overcommitment Still two months to add a backup catcher and a pen arm or two. I think that 90+% of the forum would have approved if asked on November 1st if they'd be happy with these moves as of January 16th.
-
If it's as reported, will the people criticizing the FO for misreading the market for overcommitting by 1/11 to Morales praise the FO for expertly maneuvering the market by not giving Bautista 4/110 or something before the season?

Chris Davis has 74 outfield starts in his MLB career and played 24 outfield innings last year.
-
Will MLB.TV have these games?
-
Two years ago you were here bashing people who were saying that what was being built was unsustainable. Now you're bashing management because they have to clean up the long-term mess that was made.
-
I don't understand this comment.
-
Only one fight in the stands tonight.
-
Agree with you on Navarro. I hate his skill set and really don't want to watch him anymore. Also, I haven't heard Plawecki's name in probably over a year. Guy completely fell off the map.
-
I feel a bit disappointed that Iannetta went for 1.5M. He's tough to get a read on, but it seems like all things considered he;s probably a very capable backup.
-
He projects at replacement level. He handled himself as a 4th OF last year, but he's not a good player. Kind of like when Ryan Goins and Chris Colabello had good 2015s.
-
San Diego really should have traded Myers after last year. Making an average 1B a core piece when they're probably 5 years from contention seems stupid.
-
I have exactly zero of those things.
-
yup, feels bad
-
Thanks. I'm no longer in my 20s
-
A he who gets his kicks by acting like a she on this forum.
-
Confirmed. Will process.
-
Almost double what was projected by MLBTR, not that it really matters.
-
There was a time a few months back that we were talking about 3/45 type deals for Saunders.
