Most likley to acquire? Gonzalez Ramirez or Felix?

[bostonule25]

I've never liked the idea of getting Felix, a lineup adituon is more needed IMo, we just need a good 4-5 starter ala Rich Harden. Though it seems to be a popular discussion here.

 

A-Gon is the power bat we need, but we'd have to shift some players around to make it work, though Gonzalez is a FA in 2011 and SD more than likley want to trade him

 

Hanram fixes our SS problem as could also be the big bat we need. Florida has a history of selling their players

 

 

Which is most likley and why? And what would it take to get him?

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

We stand the best chance of getting Gonzalez. And for god's sake stop calling Ramirez 'Hamram'.

I have an easy answer for you: they are all going to cost a lot. Felix and Hanley will cost the most, Gonzalez will cost less.

 

If this team acquires a bat through FA then they can use their prospects to splash with one of these three and I'm pretty sure the FO would prefer #1 Felix, #2 Hanley, #3 Gonzalez. That is all.

As if the Yankees and Angels and Dodgers will sit back and let this happen without getting involved. Get real.

I never said we were defitantly going to acquire one mkay?

 

 

Just looking at the Hot Stove thread these 3 seem to be the most talked about for making that big splash. Who knows though? we could quite possibly end up with none

[Emmz]

Hamram?

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Hamley Ramirez? duh

You think they would trade Hughes, Joba or Jackson after winning a WS? I don't.

I dont see them being players in the trade market unless something fell into their lap. I would deal Hughes in a trade for King Felix, absolutely.

[bostonule25]

The yankees arent that big in the trading department remember, Johan? They do their buisness through FA

[msubulldogs21]

On the most likely to aquire, I vote "none of the above".

[CoachC.]

Alex Gonzalez ... he's the cheapest and already been here twice

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA good one.

 

Hadn't noticed that. :lol::lol::lol:

They went after Johan, and put forth a better offer than the Mets did. Too bad Bill Smith is a dipshit, otherwise the Twins could have had either Lester, Bucholz-Ellsbury or atleast Hughes and Melky instead of Gomez... Jesus Christ, and then the infamous Delmon Young trade.

 

Anyways, bad example on your behalf, they were as competitive as anyone for Santana.

Same here Doode.

I agree with "none of the above." Sure they could force something but the natural fit just is not there.

The "Natural fit?"

 

lolwut?

I think Felix is the most likely. Theo wants him, Seattle will be looking seriously at whether they can resign him, if Buchholz is still around he's a natural fit for that type of trade and I think the quality difference between the two is significant enough for the Sox to take the hit in terms of Clay's overall value (WARP/$$) in exchange for making Felix the centerpiece of their rotation.

they backed out of it remember? And refused to give joba

[Emmz]

Lol Joba.

[example1]

Lol Joba.

 

I will be pleasently shocked if we are not fearing Joba for the next 10 years. I think people are writing him off WAY too quickly.

 

If the Yankees get nothing other than an absurdly dominant back of their bullpen for the post-Mariano Rivera era from Joba and Hughes they both will have been valuable.

 

I think Hughes is still bound to be one of the best starters in the league, and Joba--to me at least--is Mariano's heir apparent. Fortunately, nobody can ever possibly be as good as Rivera, so they could get Joe Nathan or Jonathan Papelbon and I would feel better about things than I do currently.

 

The Red Sox drafted Jason Place, Daniel Bard and Kristopher Johnson before the Yankees took Joba. I would maybe rather have Bard. Joba is a cocky, headhunting thug... I like those kinds of pitchers. They scare and intimidate people. Buchholz doesn't really intimidate anyone and neither did Masterson. Papelbon does, Beckett does, Lester tries to and strikes them out whether he does or not. There's something about a pitcher with a few screws loose that really fascinates me about this game.

We'll probably re-sign A-Gon because he's a good defensive player and he is cheap....

Wut.

[Christian Snyder]

 

Wut.

I made a mistake... I thought the poll said ALEX Gonzalez, the poll actually says ADRIAN Gonzalez....:blink:

[Lester82]

I like that Example1 has already handed the Yankees the World Series, by the way. I consider nothing a forgone conclusion. Including the Yankees.
