Some would have said the same thing about last season as well. They made a more then fair offer to EE and a fair offer to Fowler. Bautista is still there but other then that there weren't too many realistic options in FA and theres not much in the upper minors that anyone would want for an impact player. This is the price the team will have to pay for AA's trades at the 2015 trade deadline. -
I get what your saying but I think they probably over estimated the first base/DH market. When they made the 4/80 offer to EE I'm sure they didn't think that would be enough. I could be totally off base on that assumption t that's the feeling I get. I know it's a sss but when they signed Smoak wasn't he getting on base at something around .400 or something g like that? Now he did take a nose dive after that but maybe that has something to do with it. Either way, the Smoak signing really goes against what this risk adverse FO stands for and I think it probably will stand to be an outlier. The only two transactions that I really dislike with Shapiro/Atkins are the Smoak and Chavez ones and neither are anything close to being crippling.

I was one of the 610

This FO isn't going to over pay for anyone though. They could have afforded Cecil but weren't going to go above their valuations. Smoak at 8 million over two years wouldn't and shouldn't be a hi derance moving forward
-
It's a two year deal worth 8 million. It's not as bad as some Make it out to be

Except for the terrible defence when your running Jose and Bruce out there

Fangraphs has him at the same -
I don't think this FO was going to sign a guy to an extension with 4 years of control left, anyway
-
Care to explain how so?
-
Got an update from the score saying EE wanted 4/100 after the Jays offered him the 4/80 deal
-
How is Real Accountant still not banned?
-
If they are a .500ish team by the deadline do you see them selling off players like Donaldson, Estrada and Happ?
-
If Torntonwas his first choice then he should have just f***ing signed and took his 80 million
-
Your right but I would think getting under the tax threshold has more to do with ownership wanting to be under it then DD being a passive pussy. I may be wrong though. Just don't see it
-
Also no way EE goes to Boston, imo. His options seem limited. If I had to put money on it, I would say Texas or Seattle

Bartolo Colon for Lee, Sizemore and Phillips?
-
It's more along the lines of Morales and Pearce are replacing EE and we still have to find replacements for Bautista and Saunders. Unless your ok with Morales is playing in the OF. People should be prepared for Edwin leaving...cause it's gonna happen
-
What is the point of this? You could have made the same post as soon as the season ended
-
Upton is basically free
-
What is a money penny anyway?
-
Your a feisty little fella aren't ya

f*** that's some haul. If they unload everyone they very well may win the offseason
