I've been saying that big market teams must win in the short/mid/long term. Yes, we haven't won a damn thing in 4 years. 5 years in a row would be very painful. As a700 said we only need a couple of solid extra moves in order to have a very competitive team. I already put my wish list. C'mon!, it is affordable. Yes Fred, they better change the mindset. For once and for all try to grab Garza and Madsen.
-
Or maybe just the other way. Still I respect your opinion.

He wouldn't have clogged our future as long as he puts the next 4 years something around Mo's numbers. IMO I see that happening. Yo have been saying that relievers don't worth those amounts of money, that it is too risky. He is not in that bunch. He is not a common reliever. I've been saying that he is not another "reliever". He is an elite closer. He should be treated different. He was treated different by Philly. It's a matter of opinion and the way we see the things. I think we can agree to disagree.
-
Yes, 2013 FA class will be a better class, BUT... I see the main big fish making extensions to their contracts. The rest, will be guys like Garza or with lower level.
-
Yup. 1. If the trade for Garza is reasonable viable, go for it regardless you have that Theo comp. 2. Sign Kuroda 3. Oswalt. But we can't go like this, I think we all agree.

I'm agree. Totally agree. But Madson and Garza won't clogg our "future" in the way I see the thing. They are solid pieces. And with them you can win this season as well. These acquisitions won't make you weaker in the future, but the opposite.

This pitching staff is affordable.

If LL is who made/is currently making the "big moves", fine, charge him for good or for bad. If this team fails agin, then...he shall walk as well. He won't have more scapegoats. If true, I don't have clear what is the role of our GM. Top elite VP's assistant?

7 vs 3 in a tougher division/environment put the thing in an incomparable scenario. Pap has already a prestige in the league. Bailey still needs to earn it.

I don't want him as a Starter. I don't want another Bard case in our rotation. I want him as a closer. My nice to have is: Beckett Lester Buch 1. Garza/ 2. Jackson/ 3. Kuroda beyond the price vs years/trade implications Bard Madson Bailey Melancon Aceves Etc. I know, I know it's a pipe dream. But with this pitching staff, even pumpsie would be very confident about next season.
-
Sounds Crazy but Madson still available and Garza still a possibility.
-
Totally agree, I've been saying that, BUT we need that this happens, otherwise we will be in jeopardy.
-
Exactly.
-
-
Yes, Bard and Pap are better than Melancon and Bailey, regardless they will pitch in a tougher environment but they can fit well. We have 3 SPs who are prone to injuries. Bard is a mystery as a Starter. The #5 spot still a mystery as well. If Aceves takes that spot, our BP is a mystery too. Yes, This offseason hasn't been encouraging. Hopefully, all those question marks play in our favor.
-
1. He should be Salty's backup, by now. 2. He should be our next titular DH/catcher in the mid/long future. 3. I see a solid power batter with a respectable defense as a catcher. No a super star but above the average as a catcher. Unless... They use him as a key piece in order to bring a solid SP.
