    I hope they don't try for more than 3. Tell a good story and get out, anything mroe than three seems like a dicey prospect for this concept.
  2. TheLeviathan
    I would argue we don't know what our pitchers are capable of until we give them a better defensive catcher and defense behind them. You can't complain on one hand that the team isn't willing to make themselves better and then complain about the price to pay in FA. They acquired the best available catcher on the market. Three years is nothing.
  3. TheLeviathan
    "Upside" catchers are not readily available inside or outside the organization. He'll likely be a wash offensively but a huge boon defensively relative to Suzuki. The upside will be seen on the pitching staff.
  4. TheLeviathan
    He's not blocking anyone for at least a year, probably more. He will provide a professional catcher with good defense for a young staff. Our best bet to improving our pitching was adding a good defensive catcher. We just did that. No one move was "turning us around"
  5. TheLeviathan
    Um.....there is no "much higher". 8.5 million for a very good defensive catcher with decent offense is a damn good signing IMO. Unless Buster Posey is available, what the hell do you want?
  6. TheLeviathan
    Seriously, Westworld is good stuff. Holy crap.
  7. TheLeviathan
    Excellent, excellent move. So happy to see this.
  8. TheLeviathan
    I hope our new FO gives no credence whatsoever to fan patience. Build a winner, don't build to appease. One works every time, the other rarely does.
  9. TheLeviathan
    May has consistently said he struggles with the prep of being a reliever and has experienced multiple injuries since the move. For the love of god let the kid try and be a starter. I can't believe we're sitting here debating this when the only reason he got moved out of the rotation was the team deferring to Mike freaking Pelfrey. Using him out of the bullpen has led to injuries, ineffectiveness, and stripped us of a desperately needed, competent starter. We already fixed the Plouffe mistake a year late, let's fix the May one too.

    Now if we could just open up the other corner and move on....
  11. TheLeviathan
    Finally, our long nightmare is over.
  12. TheLeviathan
    Why can't you do both?
  13. TheLeviathan
    I really don't see Garver being a factor to consider until late 2017, probably 2018. Seems like plenty of time to have a capable defensive stud back there helping out pitchers in the meantime.
  14. TheLeviathan
    I wish the FA market offered more attractive homes to flip. Everything on the market is rubble. But where there are options are with guys like Gomez and the bullpen guys. Target that.
  15. TheLeviathan
    I like this offseason plan, nice work Seth. I like Hernandez as an option. I think I'd still pony up for Storen or someone like that in hopes of a July trade. We have room for Storen and hernandez.
  16. TheLeviathan
    Everywhere X-men fans weep.
  17. TheLeviathan
    Is it confirmed to be a reaction to last night?
  18. TheLeviathan
    I believe we're still in full blown rebuild, but having a catcher that is actually good at catching will actually help our young pitchers. And if he's really good and a young guy develops, we can always trad.e
  19. TheLeviathan
    I'm also shocked Neil Allen is staying.
  20. TheLeviathan
    Castro or Avila seem like the best bets.
  21. TheLeviathan
    Not encouraging unless you think about role-players in those situations. I have no problem swapping out Danny Santana, Robbie Grossman, or Centeno with grizzled vets. As long as those grizzled vets aren't stealing playing time away from the players that need it.
  22. TheLeviathan
    I think Santana can net a really solid AA player that is in the 40-70 range for Top 100 prospects. Something like that. His contract and performance in this offseason should make him a very attractive asset. I think Dozier can land you a near ready or ready young arm and 1-2 other pieces in the lower levels with upside.
  23. TheLeviathan
    Thanks for doing these, I'd love to do one (I did last season) but with so much hinging on trades that need to happen I don't even know where to begin. Trade speculation is fun, but it's also incredibly difficult to pin down. Plouffe, Santana, and Dozier need to be traded. Two of those three can net good to great value IMO. The other just needs to be gone.
  24. TheLeviathan
    Please don't hold them to that. Walking into this free agency class like a drunken sailor is a disaster waiting to happen. I like to think they'll realize that.
  25. TheLeviathan
    Id take a scholarship and play QB for the gophers if I get all these excuses too. I will be crappy at it too.
