The Nat's still have Worth and Harper playing the corners.
-
How would moving R.Zimmerman from 3rd base to first base open up a spot for Cespedes? Porcello is 25 and just had back to back productive seasons. I don't think they will be rushing to move him.
-
He would have been the number 3 on that team if Gio hadn't had an injury plagued season. Do you think we could get Zimmerman for Cespedes and and second tier prospect?
-
I am not convinced that Zimmerman is better than Iwakuma.
-
I'd say yes to both of those guys too, but is Zimmerman a #1on his team?
-
I would take either one of those guys in that deal.
-
That would be a strong bench.
-
Any examples?
-
We will just have to wait and see, but it has been reported that they have been in negotiations with the Phils for Hamel's.
-
Do you think that you get a # 1 for 1 year of Cespedes and 22 year old Betts?
-
Victorino, Cespedes, Craig and Holt all traded?
-
maybe you get Hamels if we add a lower level prospect.
-
i have seen it rarely within an organization, but never when a player has been acquired as a FA. Whether Hanley plays the infield or the outfield will determine whether Betts or XB is without a position. I don't see room for both.
-
betts for kershaw or Felix Hernandez? I think you are inflating his value.
-
Then I hope they pull the trigger. I would love for them to get iwakuma or Latos for so are baggage, but I am not seeing it.
-
I' ll wrap my head around it after they get rid of Victorino, Cespedes, and Craig. Until they get rid of those guys, Betts is in the minors or traded.
-
i think you are underestimating a 25 year old Drew Smyly.
-
it has nothing to do with fun. I just can't think of any other case where a team signed an All Star player for 4 years and $88 million to play a position that they never played in the big leagues moving him from the infield to the outfield. That would be a first in my experience.
-
Cespedes + XB or Betts gets you a number 2.
-
like I said, I mentioned Felix for some context as he is on the same staff. If I am telling you what I meant, but if that isn't good enough for you, it's not a discussion. If you are going to tell me what I mean, there isn't much point for a back and forth.
-
I didn't bring up king Felix to make a comparison. Felix is a Cy Young pitcher. I brought him up as context for iwakuma's accomplishments. They pitch for the same team and iwakuma has been very successful pitching for that team. I brought up the winning percentage because Seattle has not been a big offensive powerhouse, yet iwakuma has put up an impressive w-L record to go along with his other impressive stats. These were not lucky wins. But okay, you are of a school that puts no value on W-L. His other numbers are very very good. We are not going to get this caliber of pitcher for Cespedes.
-
I think the Sox will look to land a big pitcher -- Hamels or possibly Sale. Cespedes is not going to net us Iwakuma who has a higher winning percentage (.655) than King Felix and the same ERA (3.07).
-
I' ll get used to these things when they happen. I am not seeing it as a strong possibility.
-
Cespedes bought 2 months of Lester. With one year left on his contract, and the prohibition from offering him a QO, he will not buy a full season of a #2 pitcher. Maybe he could fetch Leaks, but none of the others.
-
i disagree with both assertions. I don't think Cespedes and a second tier prospect gets us a #2 pitcher. Also, Betts has a second baseman's arm and cannot play RF everyday at Fenway.
