    I think the most depressing thing is that all of the guys that are starting to sign that are worth a damn, we arent even reported to have made an offer for, or even had interest in.
  2. edavis0308
    If all years have the same salary.. that contract is going to look like a steal in the back half.. assuming he doesn't completely fall off a cliff.
  3. edavis0308
    Is there really a reason to add a new thread for these two guys, who already have individual threads going?
  4. edavis0308
    Blah blah blah ~$25M in increased TV revenues. I felt like it needed to be brought up once more.

    .....HE's a WITCH
  6. edavis0308
    For the life of me, I want to know why it is reported that there is a cold market for Edwin Jackson. It's sad that I'd be ecstatic if they could actually sign him.
  7. edavis0308
    But... Correia IS the 2/3 starter
  8. edavis0308
    Well TR was right with them trying to give money away. Gag me. I'd rather have Devries or Hendriks starting in that place.
  9. edavis0308
    Have no fear everyone! MLBTR reporting we are close to a two year deal with Kevin Crappiea!

    All I know is that my stance is that if they insist they are going to compete next year..and they don't spend the money on a decent pitcher, I'm not spending a dime to go see them play until I actually see they are competitive. If they'd spend the money to make it look.like an effort for 2013 is in place, I'd probably buy some tickets in advance. If their roster solutions consist of the lower tier variety, I'm not forking over a dime in advance. All this talk of people saying how the Pohlads spend their millions of dollars and how it's not our money.. well that is how I will move forward regarding my money and the team.

    Man, that one stings a little more than the others have so far.
  12. edavis0308
    It has been reported that our plan this whole time has been to sign one free agent pitcher, was it not? That makes me feel way better in that aspect as well.
  13. edavis0308
    Whaaa?
  14. edavis0308
    #1 - Saying Ponder sucks is making excuses for what exactly? #2 - EVERYBODY hated the pick.
  15. edavis0308
    Context needs to be taken into account with all these deals. The line or Dempster appears to be at 2-3 years where shades of gray kick in if you really want him or not. What if he refuses to sign for anything less than 5 years? Would you still want him? Of course not (assuming he isn't signing for a million or two a year). If he would sign a three year deal at a decent price, why not, but assuming fair market value, I would get nervous after two years and decent money. Sure, everyone around here is clammering for signing some free agent pitchers, and paying market value. I think it is just fine if people don't want to sign the free agent pitchers at over the top foolish contracts.
  16. edavis0308
    Yikes. A two year deal is about as far as I would go. It appears he did pitch better on the road last year, and with more strikeouts, but a three year deal for an aging pitcher is pushing the limits I would say.
  17. edavis0308
    Just another mega market fluff piece thinking they can trade inferior pieces for superior talent because they are a bigger market. Yawn.
  18. edavis0308
    We could only be so lucky to have Hamilton as a part of our outfield logjam. For starters.. check his stolen bases totals.
  19. edavis0308
    I should add that it seems like the disagreement here is on the perception of the wording as to how the Pohlads would be footing the bill. While both instances technically display them paying their portion with their own money.. I feel there is a degree of dishonesty to the latter using new revenues to pay the bill. Especially when so much public money is being used and those said revenues could be going towards bettering the on field product. It's pocketing the profit when you should be*reinvesting into your product.
  20. edavis0308
    So then we agree. The Pohlads didn't put a dime of their own money towards the new stadium. Does everybody else think that payroll is magically going to shoot up once the Pohlads pay of their $150M bill they are footing, which like Chief said, is being paid off via revenues? Once it is paid off, our payroll SHOULD go up that amount to maintain the 50-52% into payroll. Does everything really think that will happen? I for one see where Chief is coming from.
  21. edavis0308
    Diamond is a #3? I think that's a bit optimistic. I'm not convinced on that yet.
  22. edavis0308
    Oh ok, valid point. I thought you were referencing the fact that he's a "cancer".
  23. edavis0308
    I should clarify.. quality innings.
  24. edavis0308
    You are right. Strikes too many guys out. In all seriousness. Any pitcher they can get that can throw innings should not be ruled out at this point.
  25. edavis0308
    This trade makes zero sense for the Indians. Case closed. They already have a young cheap center fielder, and they aren't going to trade an above average player at a premium position so they have two center fielders - one of which they would have to move away from a premium position. It makes about as much sense as trying to trade Morneau to the Tigers.
