While we certainly could use some budget room for a Harper signing, I don't see Gurriel, Marisnick or Devenski going anywhere. Reddick would def...
But he is not above average. He is just very versatile. We have enough of that on our team already.
Springer Bregman Altuve Correa Brantley Gurriel Reddick Chirinos White Diaz Marisnick Stassi Which player are you removing for Marwin?
If we signed Marwin, we’d be cutting (or trading) White and Kemp for him, or just eating the $ we gave to Diaz. Marwin isn’t an upgrade over these.
The year before it would have been Altuve on the list. No one is a guarantee.
Ticket prices cost too much these days, especially when you have 162 games per year, AND the quality/availability of games via the internet/tv is...
And what I'm saying is that the odds of our up-and-coming arms being more consistent and helpful to our team than a bottom-of-the-barrel innings...
I agree with that as well. Keep the core fresh. Experiment with the AAA guys.
When a guy only consistently gives you 4-5 innings, it drains a lot of extra innings from the pen. Unless we want to run weekly bullpen games,...
A starter helps the pen stress problems if they are good enough to go 6+ innings. If we sign a true innings eater, he won't make it through more...

I agree on that. I hate for that to happen right in the middle of our title runs. It's a real momentum killer.
Question: how close to Spring Training do we need to get before FAs begin to crack and take short-term deals, waiting for the market to improve...
Seriously, though: With the penalties of the luxury cap, these mega-Stanton/Zito deals are sucking the life out of teams. Eventually, teams are...
Question: how close to Spring Training do we need to get before FAs begin to crack and take high AAV, short-term deals, waiting for the next CBA...
I don't think we will sign any inning eaters. We have a lot of young arms we can throw innings, even if they don't have MLB experience. IMO, we...
Good predictions. Interesting. You don't have CWS, WSH or HOU signing any of them? I also think that HOU is more likely to go the trade route,...
I think this is fake news. If not: Good for Marwin. That’s a serious overpay.
I believe with the snake is referring to is that we are approximately 26 million below the salary cap luxury tax projections. In order to pay...
Right. Justice is making an informed guess based on what he is observing. It’s not that we have a known offer on the table. That said, there are...
