    NYY has offered 7/245 for Cole. 8/280 beats it. Get it done Falvine. lol
  2. sweetmusicviola16
    He'd be a great tag team with Berrios. He's salary wise affordable. I'd give up a couple of my top 5's for him. I'd actually be in favor of Darvish too, but I give up less for him. A top 10ish type and another out of the top 30. Lester, I'd give up something like we gave for Odorizzi. Nothing more and would want the Cubs to throw in some cash. I'd be very surprised if the Twins and Cubs don't swing a deal this winter.

    I'm all for a trade for Boyd. But not one that starts with Larnach or Kirriloff for Boyd. I'm not against trading one of those guys or even both. But I want someone who has a better track record of success than Boyd if its for our top 5 prospects. I'd go for a deal of Enlow, Gordon and another wild card, or something along those lines.
  4. sweetmusicviola16
    I agree of course. But Rosario comes off by a mid season replacement. Cron is gone now, with a rookie replacement. Cruz is soon gone. Odo may not return. Avila gets replaced by Jeffers. That's roughly 55 mil off the books. Odo needs replacing or resigned. Maybe by then Graterol is ready. Lewis, Kiriloff, Larnach are ready by 2021 if they ever will be. Its a risk, but we can handle one mega salary for a potential ace imo.

    Who is this arm that they can trade for? The contenders that have good pitching want more of it not less. The non-contenders have very little in the way of quality to offer. The d'backs may be willing to move Robbie Ray. But he has yet to really prove himself an frontend SP. And I'd hate to give up the guys you mention for 1 season of him. The FO failed to get a front end guy during the 2019 season. I guess I have little confidence they will do so now.

    I been saying 8/280 on Cole. But what the heck I'll match your 8/300. Strasburg 6/210 Bumgarner 4/78 Ryu 3/60
  7. sweetmusicviola16
    Bumgarner is not as good as Wheeler. We went 5/100 on him. 4/76 is where I'd go on madbum. I could see a 5th year if it was a team option of 19mil with a 2-3mil buyout. But our AAV offer to Bumgarner should be less than Wheeler imo.
  8. sweetmusicviola16
    Do we stand a chance if we offered 6/210?
  9. sweetmusicviola16
    I won't be unhappy if Bumgarner is never a Twin. I could handle a Tehran signing. Maybe they heavily pursue Strasburg. But please lets stay away from Homer Bailey. Last season WAS his bounce back season, and it still wasn't very good. Homer Bailey stinks.
  10. sweetmusicviola16
    Strasburg would be my #1 choice too. Perhaps he is the FO's #1 choice too, I get the impression that we aren't in on him though. But the problem is if they waited for Strasburg and declined on all of the others and don't get Strasburg or the others b/c they are gone then we get nobody. Ofr maybe Strasburg has already told them it would take 50 mil a year for him to play here. We have almost no idea how all of these things play out. Worse case is we'd have to circle back and make a trade.
  11. sweetmusicviola16
    What do you see as a "fair package"? The Pirates bought high, but Archer has not had good results in quite some time. I'm thinking a prospect in our 10-20 range and a solid guy from the rookie levels. Blayne Enlow and ??? For the right price I'd like Archer for our #4 or #5 SP. I still want a major front end signing. To add to an Archer deal, what about trying to swing it with Josh Bell added for 1B?
  12. sweetmusicviola16
    Same here.
  13. sweetmusicviola16
    Thankfully the Rangers overpaid for Jordan Lyles before we did. A team that is serious about a WS run should not be spending much time considering the Jordan Lyles types.
  14. sweetmusicviola16
    2 more SP spots and Cron's spot left to get better. I still expect one of those SP to be filled by who we already have. So far you are right in that we are not better. We have some everyday players who it wouldn't surprise if we see some regression. I don't see Odo or Pineda being as good either. Berrios I think will be even better. We lost a few coaches too. CWS is better, and even if they don't win the Central yet will be a harder W when they are played.
  15. sweetmusicviola16
    I don't understand people wanting Donaldson though. That would likely mean Sano at 1B. Not good. If we're going to play with extra dollars go at Strasburg. He would actually improve the team.
  16. sweetmusicviola16
    Thus far we are not better. With some guys having some natural expected regression we would be worse. Lots of off season left to get better though.
  17. sweetmusicviola16
    Rosterresource shows us at 97.3
  18. sweetmusicviola16
    But I agree. If Pineda is one of the guys they better pin him down quickly. Lots of rumblings about the BlueJays and Rangers wanting him. I myself would prefer one of the bigger 5 that remain and someone like Tehran who haven't been caught and suspended with PED's.
  19. sweetmusicviola16
    There has got to be a different plan than relying on 3 guys for 3-5 with a total of 87 career IP, and Smeltzer who had the most was getting hit around in later August and September. I see them signing two tier 3 guys, Pineda and another like Tehran and a bounceback guy like Wood or Gausman. A team that if things go right will contend for the AL Central. These are the Pohlad Twins. When we do have good teams the investments aren't made to put it over the top. The 2,000's are the case in point.
  20. sweetmusicviola16
    There are no less than 12-13 teams in on Keuchel, Bumgarner and Ryu. There are likely a few less in on Cole and Strasburg. 5 guys that a dozen or more teams want and desire. That means the others will get to divide the likes of Wood, Pineda, Tehran, Miley, Porcello and Roark. I can see Falvine at the press conference trying to pass off Porcello as frontline pitching at this point in his career......
  21. sweetmusicviola16
    At this point if we're going to overpay for someone lets overpay for Strasburg. But unfortunately we will be bidding against NYY and the LA's and Nat's. 6/190 might get him to listen. Cole was my first choice but based on rumors swirling it doesn't even sound like we are even considering these guys. But I agree with Chief, whoever gets madbum will have to overpay, My guess is 4/90 or more. It may make Wheeler look like a bargain. But Falvine knew they wouldn't get Wheeler with a 5/100, but they at least "tried".
  22. sweetmusicviola16
    Wheeler was the better get. We were willing to go 5/100 on him. I see madbum going 4/90. We won't get him as my guess is we offer somewhere along the lines of 4/77 based on what we offered Wheeler. We have an org that wants to look good but isn't willing to do what it actually takes to get these kind of pieces. I understand that Wheeler wanted to pitch close to Jersey. But being 18mil apart on the offers isn't even close tbh. We will soon be kicking the tires on Roark and Tehran is what I see.
  23. sweetmusicviola16
    Strasburg is going to get 6/180 from Nyy or the Nat's. I'd love him on our team, but we'd likely have to offer between 190-200 mil to get his attention. imo Jimmy won't sign off on it.
  24. sweetmusicviola16
    I'm in the sign him up camp. I'd go maybe 2/12 on an option.
  25. sweetmusicviola16
    Problem too when you sign a guy like Gausman/Perez to a deal like you propose he becomes a guy that is going to make the team instead of a fringe candidate. So we're left with relying on them. I'm for signing bounce back guys, like Anibal Sanchez was. But when a guy is signed for 6 mil inspite of how bad he was he's making the team and we are stuck with him no matter how bad he is and the fallback becomes a AAA player. If we're not going to bring in front end guys with this team and the needs this team has then when are we? The answer would be, never.
