    I know, the Blue Jays wanted many guys over the years, except they aren't the Red Sox who made the playoffs 10 out of the last 20 or so years. Players want to experience winning and that's why Sandoval is leaning towards the Red Sox offer. The Red Sox have direction, so if there's one team aside from the Yankees who could sign all 3, you know it's them.

    Well, I like Ramirez better than Sandoval for them, just because of his versatility and he's not weight challenged. But, mlbtraderumors is saying they want Ramirez and Sandoval. So, it does look like they want all 3 including lester. I think they are trying to get Sandoval to sign based on them getting Ramirez, kind of like the Wade/Lebron miami heat signings.

    Well they have an open offer to Lester, who arguably is better than any blue jays pitcher. Looks like the red sox and their rebuild won't take too long, especially with their prospects too. If they sign Panda, Lester, Ramirez, they will be the favorites in the AL east next year. It's ok though, the Blue Jays have a very solid catcher who can frame.

    A lot of things don't make sense on these boards. Or, like I suggested before, sign Tomas. He will cost the same per year but has a huge potential of upside.
  5. xposbrad
    Why not sign Tomas who is younger, more upside, and won't cost any prospects? The braves are trying to dump Upton to sign him.
  6. xposbrad
    It's good there won't be a limit to payroll. AA will need no limits if he wants to build a winner here.
  7. xposbrad
    ok so sounds like another year of missing the playoffs by 5-7 games, doing enough to excite the casual fan but not enough to realistically win unless EVERYTHING goes right, which will never happen.
  8. xposbrad
    Swap Tomas with Markakis. But, Tomas/Miller/Lester = only 40m more , then you swap happ+ for a 2b.

    You could say whatever you want, and who can argue with you when you have 2 big tats staring at you from your avatar.

    If Boston gets Panda + Lester, ya, they should be the favorites for the East, Castillo should also continue to develop into a very decent player. Yanks will get one of shields/scherzer + probably a top Cuban or something, never rule them out of anything.
  11. xposbrad
    That's really not entirely accurate. He's played over 130 games in 6 of the last 9 years. He really only missed some games in 2011/2013. But he played 128 last year, that's not bad. Panda missed games in 2011/2012. It's not like that doesn't happen to ballplayers.
  12. xposbrad
    Think he's getting ready for when the liberals take over and have to jack up taxes to support their spending.
  13. xposbrad
    H. Ramirez I like over Panda. He can play a couple more infield spots and won't age as bad as Panda, but will probably take 3-5m more a year to sign. But the Red Sox will be pretty competitive with Sandoval and Lester both signed.
  14. xposbrad
    Boston should be pretty decent next year if they get back lester and sign Sandoval. Going to be interesting to see how Castillo does also.
  15. xposbrad
    I think they know what they are doing, playoffs 10 times in the last 20 years. Guess what team hasn't done that?
  16. xposbrad
    Well we should have signed him to a 10 year deal then, so he can frame into his 40s.
  17. xposbrad
    You are killing the happy vibe the boards has over signing a soon to be 32 year old catcher who should be entering the declining part of his career in 1-2 years on a 5 year deal.
  18. xposbrad
    Rogers is rich, we can sign Melky. You guys need to stop complaining about him.
  19. xposbrad
    Look at Martin's stats from 2009-2013, and then look at how hard half the board is that we signed him. Melky's bad 2013 is due to injury, he's stated it and you could even see in his running/hustle last year. What was Martin's 2009-2013 due to? Injury also?
  20. xposbrad
    This isn't your wallet. With the 32 year old Martin signing, JB heading into his late 30s, this club has no choice. They have to win this year/next, otherwise they have to retool without EE/JB. I don't see him declining for 2-3 years, he's gotten himself into shape after surgery, and he's only 30. Rogers wants to go all in, otherwise they wouldn't have signed Martin.
  21. xposbrad
    Ya but you know what you get with Melky. He hit consistently last year. Right now, we need an outfielder, and there aren't many great options, right? Melky isn't horrid in the outfield, he's just not as good as a Pompey. But most likely, Pompey won't be hitting as well as Melky right? In LF, I'd rather a better hitter in that slot. An all around great hitter would cost more than 12-15m/yr. You are talking 20m for a superstar player. Melky at 4/50 is a good signing for this club right now.
  22. xposbrad
    The thing is, if Navarro gets traded, Melky can DH some of the time. He's in LF, so it's not like we need him to play CF or SS.
  23. xposbrad
    I don't know why you seem so happy. This team is better with Melky on it then with what we currently have. I would have done a 4/50 deal for Melky.
  24. xposbrad
    Except most prospects don't achieve their ceiling and the Jays don't want to wait 2-3 years to see if any of that happens. The Jays aren't the only team with pitching prospects in the majors.
  25. xposbrad
    Why because I asked someone to look up what his projections were in those years? Tell me what the problem is with that?
