  1. I know that, but you can do a player to be named later...and then agree later it is him.
  2. How? I am curious why we think Gausman is considerably more valuable. And if he is, why pass on him given the system they have?
  3. What exactly is wrong with a number 2 pitcher, and what do people think those cost?
  4. There was zero risk of Dozier or Parmalee becoming super 2 or expensive.....not the way they used Chris, and not the talent Brian has.
  5. So according to Seth, it is at least partly about money....
  6. Well, if you do not want them to spend money this year, will you want them to next year, when it is way more expensive? That is the part that I do not understand in these discussions. But I am willing to listen....
  7. Chavez is gone, for just 3 million. Was he not an option?
  8. Why do I care if they spend that money on Saunders if the alternative is to pocket it? I would rather they sign him and trade him in a year, or keep him around, than watch the staff they had last year.
  9. You really believe money plays no factor in their decisions? I think we will disagree on that point......still hoping
  10. Nope, that would start his arbitration clock too fast. This team is all about money. Does not matter if he is the best pitcher in the organization next year or not, he will not be up. Not that I think he will be the best, just that it does not matter.
  11. Jim is on fire across threads.....
  12. Maybe they should go with only 1 starter, and everyone else pitches 3 innings every few days....it is a concept several have floated, and would be waaaaaaay cheaper to implement.
  13. Gausmann is pretty much Meyer, why do you feel he is so hard to get?
  14. As long as two better pitchers are signed also....like, you know, better than Diamond.....still hoping.
  15. And then spending money in 2014? Why not spend some now? Or do you have another plan for getting players in 2014?
  16. They can afford better players, they choose not to afford them.
  17. The rays got good by being the worst team in baseball for several years, and by trading from excess, oh, and by actually developing their pitching prospects. So basically, 3 years into a new taxpayer funded stadium, they should have a payroll the size of their last one in the dome? They should deal all players not named Mauer that are proven players? I do not endorse this Marlins approach for the richest owners in baseball with a brand new stadium.
  18. Threads................... Why not deal him for a pitcher? They have little pitching, all indications are they have decided legit FAs are too expensive. You have Hicks, Arcia, Buxton, maybe others up in a year or three.....why not trade him? How else do you get pitching?
  19. Some of this is really cracking me up....but really, it is clear he he is first ballot. And I anticipate a Twins hat...question is, knoblauch may steal votes if he does not get in first ballot. So how do we help him avoid that?
  20. I agree, I like the back and forth, mostly it is respectful.
  21. And how will they be good in 2014, when free agents will be even more expensive?
  22. KLAW called it the worst contract in the offseason so far, for a platoon player and 4th OFer....ouch.
  23. Don't forget they changed the rules a few years ago, and it is less interesting now....I would go for a pitcher with one good pitch, put them in the pen, use them situationally so they look awesome, and then trade them.
