    Harper's moving to CF with Zimmerman manning 1st if they get a COF.

    One thing Jacko is conveniently ignoring (and again, i don't love the move) is that BMS (Big Man Syndrome) usually sets in for position players right around their mid-30's, which is just before Panda's contract runs out. He's also viable to put much better offensive numbers out of the craphole for offense that is the NL West. Don't love the move, but not nearly as bad as our resident annoying Yankees fan is trying to make it out as, per his M.O.

    Championships. He played a bit in 2004.

    I think the plan is to create enough depth to both upgrade the offense and deal for pitching. And i don't think many of the kids are going to be dealt, hence the veteran signings.

    Nice try, generally obnoxious Yankee fan, but Orange Juiced clearly has your number.

    Oy vey.

    Your sarcasm is both misapplied and misplaced. What i'm saying, in layman's terms, is that neither Holt nor Nava are good enough to be everyday players. Holt got exposed as the season wore on, and Nava is completely and utterly unable to hit left-handed pitching. While i'm not big on the Panda signing, even making the slightest implication that Holt is anywhere near as good a hitter/defender is ridiculous. And of course, health issues aside, Ramirez owns an impact bat that Nava could never, ever replicate. But what you do have after signing Ramirez/Panda is extremely good offensive depth, since Holt/Betts are now super-subs capable of playing virtually everywhere, and Nava as an excellent backup OF. Also, batting average means almost nothing in the grand scheme of things.

    Weeks and Wright are my bets if it comes to that.

    Joe Kelly?

    Holt is not a full time player. Nava either.

    It's being reported in mlb.com.

    Oh, Fred is complaining. What a surprise.

    7/132 was the number being bandied about. 5/90 in this market is very, very sensible if he can stay on the field.

    That makes zero sense. They just acquired two premium bats on the market. If anything, they're protecting themselves in case he struggles given his excellent long-term outlook. By your logic they should have traded Pedroia and Ellsbury first chance they got, and that's silly for lack of a better word. You can't dump young guys because of the chance they will struggle while ignoring their long-term outlook. That's a good way to turn your team into the 2014 edition of the Phillies. Just stop.

    What do you base this on? The notion itself is ridiculous.
  16. User Name
    We get it. You don't like Mookie.
  17. User Name
    Betts and XB for Hamels? That may be the single worst idea i've ever heard.
  18. User Name
    Hanley career OPS+: 132 Hanley 2014 OPS+: 132
  19. User Name
    They will more likely than not trade from their significant surplus of OF instead of XB.
  20. User Name
    If they got Hanley and sign Lester, we're in business.
  21. User Name
    Well the generally obnoxious Yankee fan does have a point. While he keeps tearing it up in the playoffs year after year, his regular-season OPS has been declining for four years running.
  22. User Name
    Arguably, he is right now, if 2014 and projections are to be believed.
  23. User Name
    Too much assumption being taken as certainty around here.
  24. User Name
    Gamethreads, but that's besides the point. They (pot, meet kettle) won't be content and will whine either way. This refers to your post before the last one.

    So many logical leaps. So, so many leaps. If going up to 6 years isn't an aggressive offer, then i don't know what to tell some of the older gentlemen here. Did you expect them to put a gun to Lester's head and scream "SIGN THE CONTRACT *******". The word "negotiation" involves "negotiating".
