    Lets say we add Hamilton but we don't do a goddamn thing in fixing our pitching. We'll see the same 2011-2012 seasons all over again or worst. So.... In the end you wouldn't be improving a bit this team, furthermore, IMO you would be wasting the money in those contracts (Hamilton, Victorino, Napoli)

    We need to add two arms if we want certainty next season, otherwise, cross fingers!
  3. iortiz
    Seems very optimistic to me, but would be great if true.

    Between Greinke and Ryu, the Dodgers spent $208.7 million on two pitchers this weekend and will have a 2013 payroll of at least $225 million, a Major League record. Wow! This is just insane.

    ... And some teams would ask Lackey to pay 'em hahahahana
  6. iortiz
  7. iortiz
    I'd say Lackey but considering the lack of pitching in our current roster, we have to deal with him and see whether he can bounce back or not.
  8. iortiz
    It's clear that this year is not available an ace unless you clean up your farm system ( ...and I'm not sure that we have the pieces for a guy like Felix) Anyway...my whole point is, get the best 2-3 tier pitchers (Jackson and Sanchez) even if you over pay 'em and see if you still need that "ace" in 2014 since Lester, Buch or even ugly face Lackey could bounce back or if these acquisitions show solid numbers (still you have Douby as depth)... But please... Do not waste this opportunity again even if this means go with the current offense.
  9. iortiz
    Exactly. If we get those arms... We can go with the current offense which be at least average IMO. In the end we could be more balanced, and who knows what you can grab in the half of the season.
  10. iortiz
    C'mon E1, with that mentality we ain't going to grab nothing :harhar:
  11. iortiz
    As I said, If those were the numbers I would go for them and look for an ace in 2014 offseason. Ace Lester Buch Sanchez Jackson Depth: Lackey.
  12. iortiz
    So we are talking about 100 M, right? This is what they paid for D-K.... I would get this done, but that's me.
  13. iortiz
    I wonder how much money would be for both, Jackson and Sanchez.
  14. iortiz
    If we could land both, would be great!... And next offseason focus on an ace and you would have something like this toward 2014 Ace Buch Lester Sanchez Jackson Depth: Lackey And in the meantime you would go next season Buch Sanchez Lester Jackson Lackey Depth: Douby I would bet my money on something like this... Seriously, is this rocket science?

    I do not know what the name is going to be and what it is going to take (money/trade). The truth is that we just do not do nothing while other teams take risks... Sure, some will sound very "risky" (like Lohse or Dempster) and some not that much (like Kuroda or Buehrle) but Geez, At least try something for God's sake.
  16. iortiz
    Yup, I have no clue why they pass over and over again, even knowing that this is our main need, I just do not get it... Unless they are trying to get a guy like Felix or something, I simply do not understand... And I do not think that the answer in order to solve this (pitching) is in our farm in the short/middle-term.
  17. iortiz
    Well, I guess, you just do not let walk guys like Cain, even if you have to overpay them.
  18. iortiz
    Unfortunately we skipped on guys like Buehrle, Kuroda, Gio, etc in the past. I clearly remember that some posters said that this offseason was going to be a better deck and that we had to wait. Big fish are gone. We need to fix for once and for all our rotation. IDK if this going to be via FA or trade but Ben has to start this offseason and do not wait one more year IMO.
  19. iortiz
    IMO we overpaid Victorino and this guy Gomes. So, if that is going to be the way this offseason, I prefer to overpay on SPs even on 2nd/3rd tier pitchers than bench players like Gomes and the C we signed .... We just can't go like this and trust in our "3-5" or even our "1-2", So... Get the gooddamn arms.

    I'd get Bourn and a couple of arms...
  22. iortiz
    Well, I meant Bourn instead of Hamilton. Victorino, Ells and Bourn. We all know Hamilton's issues and Bourn is not JH but IMO is less risky and less money.
  23. iortiz
    Everybody is talking about JH, including me... But I wonder if Ben is considering M. Bourn, I really like that guy...
  24. iortiz
    Seems like Ells ain't going anywhere after reading what Ben said in that regard.
