  1. Boras probably represents a lot of our up and coming prospects. So really he is speaking well of his clients. from the article linked in the comments above "The superagent represents Royce Lewis, Alex Kirilloff, Austin Martin and Ryan Jeffers -- four cornerstone pieces of the coming years who will likely all be in the Majors by 2023.
  2. It's a definite maybe. That's for sure. Though I suspect the Twins will do something soon. and at this point, they probably either sign Cueto or just go with Winder based on how he looks in spring training.
  3. I assume 3b is going to be Ursula, Arreaz, and Miranda. 1B is going to be Killeroff then Sano LF is going to be Rooker, Larnarch, Arreaz, Killeroff (not in that order) Back up OF is going to be Gordon most likely. He has speed. and is solid defensively. maybe not great but improving too. He doesn't hit great but if he can just get on base enough and score runs then that is good enough for me. Cave i thought was outrighted off the roster and resigned to a minor league contract. DH is Sano, Sanchez, then resting regulars.
  4. Cueto could be a Dobnak replacement since he is now out. maybe Ryan and Ober and Bundy are competing for 2 spots in the rotation out of the gate and we still make a trade. Maybe we are signing Cueto because we need to include Ryan or Ober in the trade for Montas. So many potential twists and turns.
  5. This post didn't age well. We got Correa and we are still on the hunt for pitching and Montas is still available..... stay tuned
  6. I can see the A’s holding out for Canterino or Balazovich and Miranda and maybe another minor leaguer for Montas this would give the A’s a replacement for one of Chapman or Olsen and a Rotation replacement soon.
  7. I think Miami also needs a DH now too and we have those in spades.
  8. With the A's trading both Olsen and Chapman, will we need to include Miranda in any trade for Montas? I think a package of Rooker or Larnarch, Miranda and a SP like Varland would be a good package for Montas and fill needs for the A's. but that would weaken our future as well. what do you think? and what are some good trade proposals for Montas?
  9. I put the average down in case Sanchez, Rooker, and Sano have a low average to make up. But Arreaz getting around 100 PA should help the average department. Since the DH will be shared anyone could spike or drop their production. Will be fun to watch play out.
  10. I put that out there as a floor. If we add 20 points to batting average then DH is nearly .800 OPS and that should be fine.
  11. I think we will be fine at DH. I don’t expect a lot of stolen bases. But 25 -30 Hrs isn’t out of the question. Maybe a .230/.320/.430. Not horrible not great. But definitely lots of power. We will be fine now about LF…..
  12. Well this gives us the top 2 picks from the 2012 draft. Since we picked 2nd we knew we’d get 1. But why not get both to play here.
  13. Rortvedt seems a little high on WAR don't you think? and can Donaldson and Garver stay that healthy? so its 9.7 WAR for 5.6 WAR + Story at 4.5 = 10.1 WAR and salary traded = 29.7 million and new money = lets go with 22 for story and 25.15 = 47.15 million.
  14. C is going to be an issue and now we can't even sign Astudillo anymore as he signed with Miami yesterday. with all of the hoopla yesterday we totally missed this signing.
  15. at the end of the day, this is essentially a three team trade with the Rangers and Yankees. Garver, Donaldson, Revordt to the Yankees and Rangers while the Rangers get Garver and the Yankees get Donaldson, Falefala, and Revordt and we get 2 prospects and Sanchez and Urshala and a cash savings. We downgraded in overall talent but not by a whole lot and freed up capital. we sign Story and get another good starter and reliever then this trade is a huge win because it gives us the capacity to accomplish those things. if we do not, then what a waist. so for now the trade is graded as incomplete because the remaining moves will determine if it is successful or not.
  16. What about the Chuck Knoblauch trade? That one worked out…. Phil Hughes?
  17. Exactly! This trade caught me off guard if we sign Story then I apologize to Falvey and Levine for not trusting you! Although at this time I prefer the players we started with. But with the added flexibility we get Story or Correa then blam nice off-season.
  18. I question the lineup at this point. Let’s see though. DH Sano 1B Killeroff 2B Polanco SS Felafa 3B Donaldson RF Kepler CF Buxton LF Rooker or Larnarch or Miranda? C Jeffers ok if Jeffers can OPS over .750 and Falefa can get over .700 I will feel better and someone needs to win LF and run with it. we could use at least 1 more starter. Maybe a pen arm.
  19. I forget we are probably competing for that 12th playoff seat. Anything can happen in the playoffs. You just gotta believe.
  20. After the Gray trade do you still feel this way? I think a Bassit trade would require we try to extend him. A 4 year 60 million would do that and give us a Berrios quality pitcher at fewer years and fewer dollars per year.
  21. The Twins were rumored to be in on Jonny Cueto
  22. I do like the move as a win now. Just that the team has been a transition team all offseason to date and subtracted offense when they didn’t have to yesterday
  23. By signing Bundt you are buying time for a minor leaguer to step up and take his job.
