Ok, well you were talking about Villanueva taking a longman/rotation depth role
-
Also, it looks like we are the only team to have more than 1 player on that list from our team. And we have THREE of them! -
Wow thats crazy. I would never have thought Martin to be THAT valuable. McCann looks really out of place on that list BTW. I thought he was trash last year. Is he really that good of a catcher?
-
We don't need anymore longman/back end starters. We have plenty. If we are going to improve the rotation, we need to get someone that will make a difference. Liriano/Shields type.
-
Bullpen arms are so volatile year to year... Look at Delabar, Janssen and Loup. Amazing in 2013 but not very good in 2014.
-
Because Sanchez should be getting some more development as a starter in AAA. Then he can step into the rotation if someone gets injured.
-
Lol oh Buck
-
Please stop
-
Do you not remember how bad Janssen was last year? I dont want him back
-
"Clubhouse Culture Change"
-
Its because idiots expect Martin to repeat his 2014 with the bat, but with more homeruns since Rogers Centre.
-
Im pretty sure Mighty Mouse refers to Izturis
-
True, but you never know once you reach the playoffs. It all depends on who gets hot. Look at Detroit, they had Price/Scherzer/Verlander and they got swept by Baltimore
-
I still think Aoki and Lowrie is what this team needs. Guys that will be relatively cheap and provide around 1.5 to 2 WAR. Would leave us with a lineup like this: SS-Reyes-S LF-Aoki-L RF-Bautista-R DH-Encarnacion-R 3B-Donaldson-R C-Martin-R 2B-Lowrie-S 1B-Smoak/Valencia CF-Pompey-S That is an excellent lineup all-around. Speed, contact, OBP, and MASSIVE power at the centre. And then we have Dirks, Pillar, Travis, Kawasaki, Izturis, Goins and others as depth.
-
Can somebody smarter than me PLEASE make a thread explaining that our starting rotation is fine? Too many people here think that our most important need is 1 or even 2 more starters.
-
Thank god AA was just quoted stating that LF and 2B are our most important needs.
-
Thats a pretty big IF, but yes I would like to see Smoak given some ABs at 1st and DH EDIT: Steamer projection for Smoak isn't too bad
-
If Martin puts up numbers like 2014 I would be f***ing ecstatic. However, he has a career .350 obp and 2014 was the first time he ever had a .400 obp. Don't forget that he played with the Yanks in 2011-2012 and his numbers weren't amazing.
-
Excellent quotes by AA. He got the order down right IMO. Adressing LF and 2B is more important than improving the rotation.
-
No. Please stop. Martin will not have another .400 obp season. Edwin is a better hitter than Martin in every way. BA, obp, and extra base/home run power. Look past just their 2014 stats.
-
I'm kinda iffy on Melky. I don't think he'll be able to hit like he did in 2014, and his defense will continue to decline. I wouldn't go higher than 3/40
-
Lets just pull off another f***ing blockbuster with the A's. McCarthy + Lowrie + Reddick for Travis + Sanchez + Jiminez + ??? That would solve alot of holes for us. EDIT: on second thought, that's probably an overpay on our side.
-
Oh ok I didn't know about the option. And yes, I would also rather get a Lefty bat like Jay Bruce.
-
I'm pretty sure both Dickey and Cespedes only have 1 year left on their contracts. But yes, I agree with you. I was just thinking about it today and felt like it was a realistic potential trade.
-
Yeah I'd probably rather keep Dickey too. Our lineup with Cespedes would be f***ing nasty though. Reyes Donaldson Bautista Encarnacion Cespedes Martin
