    He signed in Houston, I'm pretty sure if there was any kind of reasonable offer from the Jays he would have taken it. I would have liked to have seen Romo sign here also. But, remember, AA said he had NO open offers to any free agents, so it's kind of hard to sign players with no offers, wouldn't you say?

    Who do you think the opening day starter will be then? Stroman?

    As a fan, does the team saving money really matter to you? It matters only if they plan on spending the saved money. Gregerson was the guy this team should have signed with that 'saved' money. A reliable reliever is what this team needed. Now, we have Navarro as a trade chip, but small chance we get someone like a Gregerson with him.

    I would have gone that route as well. Headley is good value, and that fixes the 2b problem as well. I also would have targeted a SP with that package because I'm sorry if I don't have faith in a 35 year old Buerhle and a 40 year old Dickey being the top end of your rotation.

    I think it's more like 1 and 2. Not 1 and 1a. I also think Boston is going to add a #1/#2 top end starter, further solidifying that 1 status. I think the Jays will do some minor tweaking to the BP, trade for a closer, and call it a day. I don't see them going after a premium stud pitcher, do you?

    That unfortunately won't be enough.

    I thought he had a deal for 65m. 4/52 is a pretty solid deal for the Yanks. He was 4.4 WAR last year.
  8. xposbrad
    That's only true to a certain extent. If he was a regular pitcher he wouldn't have been pitching past 35-36 most likely. The fact is, all pitchers decline and stop at some point. There is cardio/stamina and other factors that affect a pitcher, and look how Wakefield did his last 2 years. Even knuckle ballers call it a day at some point.

    Right, Dickey is 40 years old, and I expect you seem him regress a bit this year. Buerhle is 35, and I think he'll lose another couple of clicks on his pitching and drop off too. But I think Stroman is better than anyone in the Red Sox rotation, for now, until they add someone like Hamels. I am not sure what the Jays plan on doing, hopefully they still recognize they need a proven young #1.

    Ya no team has really come close to the Red Sox. And they are still looking for another top end starter not a bottom rotation pitcher. But Castillo was added last year? Although he looks pretty solid from the couple of games I saw him play.
  11. xposbrad
    Well, I think they planned on using Happ as trade bait to improve other areas. Although, they should have kept him in hindsight if they don't add a legitimate #1 or #2 starter. I like Happ + Cabrera a lot more over Estrada/Saunders. I would have dumped Lind for a reliever instead. I don't believe Estrada was the best offer they could have got, because they could have waited a couple of weeks until more teams had a better idea of the direction their team was taking.
  12. xposbrad
    With the Miley trade most likely going to happen. Can someone give the projected WARs for Boston's rotation and Toronto's rotation? Is Estrada #5 or is Sanchez at this point? I'm not up to date what the team plans to do because I keep hearing Sanchez is starting in the pen.

    I looked up Jason Frasor's wife and somehow I got a picture of David Dejesus' wife..uhmm, why didn't I become a baseball player?
  14. xposbrad
    Ya, at the deadline they can always trade for a front end starter depending how things shape up. They don't have too many holes at this point. Even the Jays could use a starter, among a 2b, and a closer, and another reliever. Red Sox have enough trade chips to easily get a #1/#2 during the year if they feel they need to. Top to bottom the Sox are pretty solid hitting, and a solid pen, and a very decent rotation.
  15. xposbrad
    I guess the Yankees have a new ace.
  16. xposbrad
    Does Miami even have a GM? Like who in their front office gets fired for approving this deal?
  17. xposbrad
    Friedman about to fleece Miami if it's Gordon for Heaney straight up.
  18. xposbrad
    Ok, so is this how it works. Player X is available. Everyone on the boards goes, we should trade this player and that player for them. Then Player X might get traded to another team. Then everyone on the board goes, oh we'd crush that player, they aren't meant for the AL etc..
  19. xposbrad
    So who do you see that's left that is as good? I don't think ~6.25m/yr for him was a bad deal.
  20. xposbrad
    Did the Marlins eat a lot of Buerhle's contract and is he a #1 starter? Lester is 30 years old, and is a #1 starter. I think it's safe to say those now cost upwards of 20m+. He's signed through 36 with a vesting option. It's not that crazy considering the trend in salaries. I think the cubs now they have some team control over very high upside players and they are looking to switch from rebuild to compete right away. They have a pretty solid team now.
  21. xposbrad
    Gregerson was the guy this team needed. AA missed the boat.
  22. xposbrad
    Some will be extended. But, Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers, WSH, and several others will all be looking to sign guys too. I don't think there will be any deals.
  23. xposbrad
    Lester is younger than Shields and should still be good as their players develop. They probably won't have to worry about payroll for quite a while. By then, they can always flip Lester
  24. xposbrad
    The Jays don't suck. I don't think they are the favorites either. I think they are a top 10 team right now. If they traded for, or signed a #1, I think they could be a top 5 team. I think Boston signs Lester and/or trades for another front end starter. I also don't think the Jays are done yet either, so I prefer to wait until opening day until I see what the rosters are before saying, the Jays are not making or making the playoffs this year. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
  25. xposbrad
    That would most likely be about 60m in salary for all 3? I don't see how they could do that.
