    Que the pandemonium! Too bad for Pillar...as much as we downplay the importance and mock the system - I think players still love being recognized.
  2. Brownie19
    Easy with all those original thoughts...
  3. Brownie19
    Right - my bad.
  4. Brownie19
    Is Luke Hochevar a decent target to help fill out the bullpen?
  5. Brownie19
    I mean switch hitter is nice - and the guy can hit, but Morales seems like a fall back option at best. I thought we wanted more speed and versatility. He's the polar opposite of that.
  6. Brownie19
    I don't look at it like this at all - nor should you. I simply want the be value for the money.
  7. Brownie19
    How dare you speak of Gerry Dee like that. Canadian legend.
  8. Brownie19
    I think I agree. His batting appears consistent now and you'd expect if you left him in RF, he'd be a plus defender. He's also probably the most likely to get unmotivated and fat after cashing in on a long term deal, crash in a car accident while racing and actually be 35 years old right now. He to comes with risk.

    On his own team sir...that's turrrible.
  10. Brownie19
    Who would you rather have - Cespedes 5 years $125M, EE 4 years $100M or Fowler 4 Years $80M???
  11. Brownie19
    How about 1 year $17.3M for Jose. Love it. 3 years? pass. Cespedes in RF - 4 years $100M Jose at DH - 1 year $17.3M Coglan or Jay with Upton in LF - cheap platoon. That's likely an improvement over the EE/Jose/Saunders trio we used last year.
  12. Brownie19
    Davis was also coming off posting 7.0 and 5.6 WAR in 2 of his past 3 seasons - both of which are significantly higher than any season EE's ever had.
  13. Brownie19
    It would be nice if the player's initial request was somewhere in the right stratosphere....5 years @ $25M isn't completely outrageous for EE, but the only reason he gets that is supply/demand and the high number of stupid front offices in baseball. Jose's suggestion of 5 years $150M was laughable. I'd prefer if the players/agents just shut up and negotiated behind the scenes like they should.
  14. Brownie19
    Fair point that it's just an ask and negotiation has to start somewhere, but I'm not butthurt at all - I was just making a joke. I'm of the opinion this team is better off not giving EE or Jose long term deals (say 4+ years for EE or anything beyond 2 years for Jose). Both are highly unlikely (although I could see Jose taking the QO), so for me it's time for a handshake, a sincere thank you for their service and you take your draft picks and $ and move on.

    Gulp. Have fun taking your chlamydia and parrot to Beantown!
  16. Brownie19
    Lets hope they teach him to mix in a strike every once in awhile.
  17. Brownie19
    Look at you pulling s*** from your ass. If anything - I'd be more worried about Sanchez's mechanics, but anyway - you could say this about every single rotation in baseball. We have 5 legit, good starters....we need to replenish our 6th, 7th and 8th starters (Biagini could be one if we convert him) - but let's not act like the rotation is a concern.
  18. Brownie19
    He was abysmal with the A's last year...there's no doubt, but with the Cubs over the past 3 years his average wRC+ has been 126, 114 and 113 with positive base running and defensive value - all of which added up to 6.7 WAR in 1,063 PA's. He's strict platoon guy, but I suspect he'd bring value to the team at 1/3 of the cost of Reddick (who's a similar profile).
  19. Brownie19
    True. But he isn't a good hitter either. He runs fast.
  20. Brownie19
    That's a brutal angle
  21. Brownie19
    If you like being extremely disappointed...
  22. Brownie19
    I like this idea
  23. Brownie19
    It's sure is!
  24. Brownie19
    This is why Conforto is a better target.
  25. Brownie19
    1. Charlie Morton 2. Cecil 3. Fowler (4 yr $72M) 4. Pearce 5. Take draft picks from EE + Jose 6. Trade for Conforto and Duda Travis 2nd Fowler RF JD 3rd Duda 1st Tulo SS Conforto LF Pearce DH Martin C Pillar CF BAM. We have balance, defense, versatility, more speed. Of course this depends what Conforto costs.
