He better bring a bomb or be creative to ease this pain (SP, DH, BP arms and pitching depth).
But seems like he is focused in in the manager, Sizemore and Theo's compensation.
Wowowowo you should read the whole story and my posts about CC before emit a conclusive opinion about my opinion.
And yes, we overpaid him, no matter how you want to split his numbers or what still on your mind.
He doesn't worth 142 M. Before/after Boston era, period.
This might be the most precise definition about J.D. Drew.
Hell, he used to be very disciplined AB and fragile as a porcelain cup. That was David Jonathan Drew.
Edwin Jackson?, sounds good to me.
What about him and Beltran and resigning Pap and letting walk Ortiz, and look for a couple of extra BP arms and pitching depth. That probably could work it out but I'm not sure how much would Pap demand...
On the other hand if the name is Verlander, even better.
It's ok man.
Clarified that and if the budget is correct, Pap and Ortiz would be likely gone, since they will ask tons of money and I would prioritise the BP arms and pitching depth vs their money- demands; at least we have Bard and Lavarnway (I think, that they are not ready for the job as a closer/DH but what other options do we have?)
Let me understand this Jung. User said that we would have 12 M after signing Hanson, Hoover and Beltran, and that the closer, DH, BP arms and pitching depth should be covered as well with that budget (12 M which is a joke BTW), right? Am I missing something?
1.- Who does usually get better contracts, a guy with a 1.- high BA, 2.- high OBP, 3.- high SLG or 4.- high OPS?
2.- Considering each spot in the lineup, where do you consider that OPS weigh more, (ex. #3, #4, #5)?
As I said i would do a trade like that, Hanson/Cain/Felix for Ells. Not Less.
I liked you proposal (Hanson +Hoover + Beltran), I'd do it in a heartbeat.
