  1. Yeahhhh! Count with that Mike! That would be awesome!
  2. Don't take me wrong, I want that our team makes the POs and makes a good paper once there, but IMO LAA, TEX and NY are above us right now (in paper). If Our top 3 stay relatively healthy/perform solid and Bard put decent numbers, I would say that our team is in the same tier, but that is unlikely. Only time will tell. I think that we agree to disagree on this .
  3. Guillermo Celis Ernesto Jerez Candy Maldonado Fernando Alvarez Etc. Do you really think that LAA is below us?
  4. I'm not sure what are your semantics on this but LAA, NY and TEX are above us in the papper right now. They have less quetions in order to make POs. A lot of analysts do not put us in the same tier.If you do not see this that way, is up to you.
  5. Maybe I could go with you guys. I probably will be there in July. :thumbsup:
  6. Every team has question marks, but some have more than others in order to achieve an objective.
  7. +1 JH is surely in that bandwagon too. He better put the numbers, otherwise this will be very painful to watch.
  8. Off topic. A-Rod is in Mexico City and met with Carlos Slim Domit (Son of Carlos Slim Helu). He is promoting his gyms (Energy).
  9. if we want to win this season this could work it out. You can likely afford the best of both worlds (Ortiz and Oswalt)
  10. if this is true, UN? has a case. The money wouldn't be the problem, but still the availability would. Look at our 2011 SP searching. We only could afford another injury prone SP. Either way, I find out the scenarios very interesting.
  11. UN? says that we are 6 MUSD under... If we can't afford a SP with this money, at least we shall go for him.
  12. I thought that we were 1 or 2 M under the cap. Either way, I do not like that scenario (look for solid/heathy/proved pitcher in order to right the ship.). Look, The same situation happened last year. We needed this type of pitcher and we only could grab another injury prone pitcher on the edge of the TDL, regardless the money was not likely the issue at the time. My point is, respect the strategy. If it is stay under the cap (beyond whether I like it or not) in order to win in the mid/long future, then we must show consistency in that regard (do not go over it in the middle of next season).
  13. I think that you are missing something UN?. The cost. How many quality/solid/proved/healthy pitchers will be available and keep/allow you be under the cap?. I just do not see a bunch of pitchers with those characteristics. As I said, if the strategy is stay under the cap (pumpsie's theory) and the things goes bad why will you change that strategy in the middle of season and mostly if the things are already wrong. It wouldn't make sense to me.
  14. Great post jung. Totally agree. BTW it is about availability plus quality plus very low cost or and prospects/proved MLB players in order to change radically the direction of the ship (assuming it is on the wrong direction).
