    Miami Marlins 2012 = Blue Jays 2013 Toronto just took on the core of a 69 win team and added it to their current group which talent wise are very similar to what Miami entered the season with. A health Bautista is comparable to Stanton, and Sanchez and Nolasco is probably a better combo then Romero and Morrow. I actually thinks this blows up and AA will be out of a job in Toronto this season or next.

    If they are making moves to put the team up for sale then he will be available. If they are retooling and reinvest in this years FA pool and aren't selling the team then they probably won't move him.

    Mike Stanton is all sorts of pissed off about this. I hope he demands a trade, that is one guys the Marlins can have anyone in the system for. Hell offer to pay Miami's payroll the next couple seasons as a bonus. Shouldn't be more then 20-30M

    Chances are your profession doesn't require a 3-5 year plan. This to me looks like a move that is based on trying to cash in this season or next. In other words it was a desperation move for AA to save his job and if it happens to blow up he won't be around for the years those contracts hamstring the club, and if he happens to be around, well we will worry about that then. And if Henry is gearing up for a sale so be it. That's his right. Let's just hope we get a decent owner. I vote Mark Cuban :thumbsup:

    And before everyone freaks out, Toronto's team is built pretty similar to the Miami Marlins team of last season and how did that turn out in the NL East? Jose and Mike wash each other out, Lawire- Ramirez isn't a massive leap in difference at 3B, Toronto's rotation is now JJ, Buerhle, Romero and ??, not exactly lights out. And they have the Speedy Reyes. He will probably be good for next couple seasons, by 2016-2017 22M a year is going to look absolutely awful. This is a move for this season and next season. I think AA may be trying to save his job here.

    I don't have the link because I don't use Twitter, but Mike Stanton wrote this last night, "Alright, I'm pissed off!!! Plain & Simple" All I want for Xmas is a shiny new Mike Stanton in RF

    meh I'm not sure I would have wanted the Sox in on that. Big bold move by Toronto though. Miami can pretty much kiss any high talent FA's wanting to go there. Even if Miami is willing to offer big bucks. If I was Reyes I would be pissed. Warm latin base community for snow, moose and Canadian bacon...

    If it's to catch they can have him.

    I'm not sold on Niese transitioning well to the AL.
  10. BSN07
    No to Napoli behind the dish. Ross's splits don't vary too much vs RHP and LHP. I think if it's a Ross and Lavs platoon it's more aimed at giving Ross a large chunk of the playing time and easing Lavs into being a C at the ML level this season, with hopes he's ready to take on the majority of the work next season. Ross then becomes more of a back up.

    I'm fairly confident some team will offer him at least 5 years. The Yankees with all their issues are pretty far down my list of possible destinations for Hamilton. But anything is possibly I guess.
  12. BSN07
    If the team has no budget, which to this point they have not shown one then it's not impossible. Improbable? Maybe. Money makes a lot of things possible and they look like they are spending like drunken sailors. Hamilton at 5-6 years at 20-25M could easily get it done if teams get weary of not going more the 4 years(which is possible). Ethier and his contract would most certainly be shipped out at this point. Then a offer to Grienke of 6-7 years at 20M per is a reasonable offer that might land him. When I look at the Dodgers I consider their spending power and willingness to throw it around similar or on par with the early 00's Yankee teams. And none of us would have put it past them to sign both of these players.They have gone from Red Sox West to Yankees West 25M for a guy that might start? lol This could be Igawa like fail. edit: btw I'm not jumping all over what you said, I used your post as a platform to talk about how I feel about the Dodgers right now

    Yes the Red Sox have a lot of work to do. But this division is up for grabs. Every team in the division has issues and a long off season coming up. Toronto is young and talented but seem rutter less. Red Sox have some talent at the ML level, good depth in the minors at the lower-middle levels and resources to retool. Baltimore has to make the crash back to Earth as soft as possible. What they did in extra inning games/1 run games this season is unsustainable. They have no true stopper in the rotation, and a lot of players had career years or played well above their heads. TB is in their usual predicament. And the Yankees are in a similar situation as the Red Sox are. Team is full of holes, injury ?'s and not much in ML ready talent to help rebuild coming this season or possibly next season from the minors. If anything the Sox could arguably be in a better spot just because they don't have big long term contracts to aging players getting in their way.

    True, pitchers couldn't walk Salty if they tried.The dude swings at everything It still amazes me pitchers still throw him strikes(maybe it's by mistake).
  15. BSN07
    Salty is like Pena at 1B but with less power and defensive skills. If Salty is playing 1B next season, s*** has gone even further down hill. Which is saying something lol
  16. BSN07
    IMO Salty gets traded and Ross/Lavs split time this season in an effort to get Lavs comfortable at the ML level. I'm interested to see what the Sox can get for him. He hit 25 HR last season. Catchers tend to develop late. So his arrow could be pointing up enough to get a team to bite.
  17. BSN07
    I like this move. They should sell high on Salty. His value probably won't get better.
  18. BSN07
    I hope Mark Cuban buys the team
  19. BSN07
    I still think some GM is going to jump the Shark and give 5-7 years. If Boras was his agent he might get 8/200M lol
  20. BSN07
    Hamilton is most likely to get 20M per year minimum. 12-14M is the qualifying offer he's going to turn down.
  21. BSN07
    They are rebuiding/retooling. The Hamilton talk is just the Hot Stove being the Hot Stove. I don't have any false hopes that Hamilton is a likely addition.
  22. BSN07
    Hamilton is probably going to want as long of a contract as he can get. There no telling how he will age and if his early drug use will have some long term effect. if I was Hamilton I wouldn't be guaranteeing that I'm gonna get another contract in 4 years. So I would want the longest one I can get. And more often then naught there will be some GM/Owner willing to gamble and offer twice the guaranteed years Texas is rumored to be offering. I think Hamilton gets minimum 5/130M wherever he goes.
  23. BSN07
    Less elite talent is hitting the open market, with teams more willing to give long term extension to it's own young talent, that will be one of the biggest factor in not seeing these 10 year type deals. Players will learn just because your that off seasons best position player/ SP does not mean you automatically get the next 100M deal. These big long term contracts are going to be reserved for truely elite young talent that manages to make it to FA(not every team can sign all it's young talent). So occasionally ones going to sneak through. But it will going back to being more of a rare thing. The way it should be. We will see though.

    http://espn.go.com/dallas/mlb/story/_/id/8610003/texas-rangers-max-offer-josh-hamilton-3-years-report-says Says Texas max offer to Hamilton is 3 years. I'm not sure if this is surprising or not consider I have read articles expecting 6-7 years. Maybe Texas is trying to get it down to 5 years in the end. Either that or this signals that there is no chance Hamilton is going back to Texas. One thing we all have to consider is no one knows Hamilton better then Texas. Their 3 year max offer is going to be a big red flags for intelligent GM's. If Texas is willing to make this kind of line in the sand with no current replacement for Hamilton on the Roster(or so most of us assume) is a bold move by Texas's FO.
  25. BSN07
    Depends on what Jackson wants. I've already said that I'm ok with Sanchez at 4/60M. I probably can't argue against Jackson at the same kind of deal. But for some reason it just fees like a worse idea hahaha
