    He probably won't. But if he does, it might be because he is being offered far more/year in the 3 year deal...like 33 vs. 22-25. Especially if the 3rd year is a player option-he could still have time for one more "large" contract.

    I would be very hesitant to offer a 4, 5, or even 6 year deal. I would rather overpay on a 2 or 3 year deal that may or may not include a player option. Something like 2/66 with a player option for 3rd year, making it a 3/99 contract. I really like Darvish and would love getting him, but he is no spring chicken anymore.

    Sorry, forgot the other part. The Rosenthal bit was meant to go along with the Iglesias rumors. Iglesias could close this year. Rosenthal the next if we don't keep him... I just think getting him on the cheap(ish) would be a good investment, just like the Pineda signing, like you mentioned.
  4. cmoss84
    I hope they bite the bullet and go for Holland or Rosenthal vs. signing 2 or 3 low end guys. We have enough young guys to not have to do that... We might have to overspend, but if we don't get Darvish, paying a few extra million for one of these guys might be worth it.

    crap.

    Would love to see them add Trevor Rosenthal and Swarzak on 2 year deals for a total of around 20mil. TR: 2/14 AS: 2/6

    Paying him 2 million this year to be in the bullpen in September, as many of you have mentioned. Paying him 8 million in 2019. If he stays healthy the entire year and has a decent year, completely worth the money. What will a #3/#4 starter cost in 2 years? I'm guessing more than 8.

    The only way I want to trade Dozier to the Mets is if we make a package for DeGrom. Dozier/Gonsalves/Gordon. But not going to happen.
  9. cmoss84
    I was actually going to say the same-maybe even the Mariners bring back Ichiro for another part time year to help the transition.
  10. cmoss84
    I would agree with you-if Kintzler had been a proven closer for at least a few years or if he was a bit younger. I think the move was in between buying and selling. We had other replacement options in our bullpen. Obviously it worked out ok...other guys had a chance to prove themselves in expanded roles and we got prospects, while making the playoffs. Hard to argue with any of that-and being able to sign him (Kintzler) back right now is just icing on the cake.

    I constantly went back and forth with Garver when I saw him in action. I would go from, "I don't think this guy can hit up here well enough," to, "man, this guy has such easy power to right field." I hope he at least gets a fair shot...but who else is going to take away his ABs besides Castro? Any other catchers on the rise or radar in FA? Do Wade's numbers and size/athleticism remind anyone else of Michael Brantley? Or am I way off here? Anyone know what he looked like in the minors?
  12. cmoss84
    What makes you say he is a number 2 pitcher and not an ace? He might not be a top 10 pitcher in the game (although pretty damn close), but I'd say he's still an ace...

    Let's get a team going in Hawaii. Tell me you wouldn't want to see your team play the Hawaii Hoola Hoopers. Just kidding but seriously. Have the Carolinas ever been considered? Bad spot or good spot?

    I didn't get much sleep last night. Too excited. Read this thread and fell asleep for a short nap. Had a dream where I was on a roller coaster with Tom Petty and a goat (from a Zombie Zoo). We were drinking good bourbon. The Twin's bats were on fire and we free fell into Cleveland.
  15. cmoss84
    Royce Lewis. 3rd base. You can all say he is the best athlete on the field. But who is he going to replace?
  16. cmoss84
    Definitely a tough spot to be in as a pitcher. He probably should have stepped off the rubber and talked to his infield and catcher...but I guess sometimes you just decide to roll with your coaches decision.
  17. cmoss84
    Sorry, should have phrased that differently. If he shows he can be good/trustworthy late in games, another team may want to add him as a bullpen piece.
  18. cmoss84
    My guess is they want the "vet" out there right now in the 9th. Also, if he shows he can close and we drop out of WC contention, we might get a few takers on him.
  19. cmoss84
    Where you play also makes a difference. Much easier to hit in Ari. Much easier to get away with a mistake changeup at Target field.
  20. cmoss84
    Bob-thanks for posting that. Quite interesting to read. My point is if you are close, why not try? I'm not saying to sell the farm. But you never know how a few small/medium sized deals can impact the last 2 months. I also think the run differential is skewed from about 5 really bad games. But I get your point. I'm just naively optimistic and want to go down with a fight
  21. cmoss84
    Are you really worried about run differential? I'm sure there have been plenty of teams that have snuck in the playoffs with bad run differentials. If you get in, you get in. Does not matter how. Wins are the only thing that matter right now. I guess everyone has their own gambling tactics...to me, being within close reach at the end of July means time to throw in some chips. An evaluation has to be made about how many. It seems like a lot of good teams have been vulnerable this year (minus Hou). A ten percent chance of making it might be as high as it's going to be for a while.
  22. cmoss84
    Those of you who don't like this trade are CONSERVATIVE! You never know how a trade will work out. Sometimes you get burned. But don't you want to TRY to win? This will not be the only move. Let's go get Britton now baby!

    Jaime has a lot of experience, and most AL hitters have yet to have faced him. Also gives us an option to vary our arms in the rotation and put less pressure on Berrios. Santana (RHP) Jaime (LHP) Jose (RHP) Mejia (LHP) Whoever is pitching least worst
  24. cmoss84
    I guess I'm optimistic our OF is set for awhile. If Royce goes to the OF, so be it...I won't be disappointed. I just like the idea of having a great 3rd baseman with range for many years. Obviously we're a ways away...Will be fun to watch him progress and see what happens.
  25. cmoss84
    Call me crazy, but I hope they move Lewis to 3rd sooner rather than later. Gordon seems to be our SS and it seems unlikely Lewis will be staying there long term.
