  1. I don't mind going either way with Cron. Does anyone know if Castellanos can play first? He would be a great bat to add to this lineup!
  2. Would LOVE getting both Bumgarner and Hamels. We have so much youth coming up who can learn from them. They can both be 4.00 ERA and 175 inn guys too. Cole not gonna happen...but if it does, wowza.
  3. Buddy of mine had this prediction last week: Ausmus out, Maddon in. Girardi to Cubbies. Kind of makes sense.
  4. Is it just me or does Lewis have a little Derek Jeter in his game?
  5. Bonus question: How many more years will he play? I have him for 3 more years and finishing with 502 home runs. Would be great if he finishes his career with us.
  6. Everyone on here keeps talking about 4 different matchups for 4 different games. How many days off are in between? Will pitcher 1 be available for game 4 for each team?
  7. I'm guessing your top 3, then using Happ and CC as long relief (and by long relief, I mean 2 inn). I could see either Paxton or Tanaka starting games 1 and 4.
  8. To me, yes. I might be absolutely wrong. But 96 with a 92 cutter has enough potential to pull that trigger. Could really go either way, but I vote yes.
  9. Perez showed enough this year to be in the discussion, no? Still pretty young, and flashed some good stuff. Not saying he should be a fixture in the rotation...but he has some value being a #5 candidate/long guy. I love Pineda at 2/30. Who knows if he takes it, but it seems reasonable. Maybe a third year option. Offering a contract to Odorizzi with less annual money than his QO is not being disrespectful. It's called a business. If he doesn't want a lesser contract, then I would rather spend money on Bumgarner and/or Hamels. That is my point. I think those two (even with their ages/miles) are more valuable than Jake. Just like...my opinion. man. Gibson might take a 2/20 or something close to it. 1-Berrios 2-Bumgarner 3-Pineda 4-Gibson 5-Perez depth: Thorpe/Gonsalves/Smeltzer/The Cheese Grater/Dobnak
  10. You are probably right on the 3 year deals. And you are probably right on the 2/20 being very low. But that is what I would offer them, and then move on. Gibson may take 2/20. Pineda 2/30 seems fair. I'd rather spend money on Hamels/Bumgarner and then let Perez/Thorpe/Smeltzer take the #4/#5 slots. (To me, this is just buying time for our prospects to be ready).
  11. You don't think Pineda would take a 2/30 deal? Like I said in my above post, I want to sign Hamels or Bumgarner (Cole notgonnahappen). Pineda signs for 2/30. Either Odorrizi or Gibson signs for 2/20 (so probably Gibson if either of the 2). Perez starts at #4 or #5 in rotation, depending on if Gibson signs the 2/20. The AAA guys cycle through the back end of the rotation.
  12. Just my opinion...I see him as a league average to slightly above league average pitcher. Would like to have him on our team, but not for QO.
  13. The golden question is, do you spend QO dollars for a league average pitcher?
  14. If it was Odorizzi at 2/24, I'd like to have him and Perez at 7.5 both on the staff. I just don't want to spend QO $ on him.
  15. No to QO. For anyone. But I offer Odorizzi and Gibson 2/20 deals. They get more than that somewhere else, so be it. I offer Pineda a 2/30 type of deal and pick up the option on Perez. Cole is obviously the top prize in FA, and a long-shot to sign with us. I'm sure he resigns with HOU or Yankees sign him. Hamels or Bumgarner (or both) would be nice. Probably slot in as 3's. But I would like to get one of them. Wheeler is the other wildcard. 1 Berrios 2 Hamels or MadBum 3 Pineda 4 Odorizzi or Gibson 5 Revolving door of Perez and the AAA guys. Definitely not a rotation with top-notch aces. But-a rotation with a ton of depth. The type of rotation that can survive if we have the lineup that we do.
  16. How about "The Cheese Grater"
  17. Whether you agree with certain unwritten rules or not, and whether those rules are followed "correctly" during certain circumstances, a pitcher should always be fined for throwing at a hitter on purpose. If the pitcher does not agree with the fine, then they should have an opportunity to appeal it. However, most of these situations are pretty obvious. *If a player is plunked with off-speed stuff, they were not hit on purpose!*
  18. At this point, I'd give him a shot, but he will probably be claimed before us...
  19. A Twin's bat frightens Sayonara Soroka Delicious chicken
  20. Didn't Syndergaard get traded from blue jays to mets? Did mets get Stroman for cheap? What do the mets have on the blue jays? May we please have Thor, mets, while you keep ripping off the jays?
  21. Unless Whitley has an injury that won't allow it to happen...
  22. I just don't see Whitley and Tucker not being the winning bid.
