I've never been against Morrison. I like Santana better. The context of my wanting JD Martinez and Duda was assuming JD would DH, and Duda would... 1) squeeze HRam out of his vesting option 2) allow Duda to DH when JD plays the OF in NL parks and when an OF'er needs rest or is hurt 3) offers insurance against an injury to HRam or JD 4) is much cheaper than Morrison, Santana and Hosmer 5) will get much less years of commitment 6) has more power than Santana, Hosmer and maybe Morrison. What's changed? JD wants to play the OF, so I'm assuming, if we get JD, we trade JBJ for a pitcher and then need a DH/1B type hitter at minimal cost and minimal years. That's why I have Duda in my top 2 choices. It's close, to me, when you factor money, years and risk-reward factors between Duda & Morrison- assuming JD plays LF most of the time and DHs sparingly. I put both of those choices way above any plan with Hosmer in it.

Was it too absurd to picture this? 3B Bogey SS Cozart 2B Pedey 1B Devers/HRam DH HRam/Devers

Don't bid against yourself, DD. Set a more than fair number and walk away.

Stanton: I KNEW there was a reason I didn't like Jeter!
moonslav59 replied to Carter's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
He had to cut $30M. Trading Gordon, Ozuna, Vargas and Prado could have done that. He probably could have traded Stanton with 51 HRs at the deadline for more than he got from Cashman. -
Rangers Acquire Matt Moore Minor-league righties Sam Wolff and Israel Cruz to San Francisco. I have always liked Moore. I know he's risky, but I'd have taken the gamble. SF is clearing budget space for who? JD Martinez? JD says he want's to play OF not DH. Would the Sox have to trade JBJ for JD to sign with us? Sign JD Trade JBJ in a 3-way deal for Abreu (add Travis or Ockimey)?

I'd rather take the chance that Morrison's 2017 was not just a flash. I'd go with .... 1. JD & Morrison (plus a 5th starter) 2. JD & Duda (plus a 4th starter) 3. JD & Moreland (plus a 3/4 starter) 4. JD & Alonso (Machado's bros-in-law) plus a 3/4 starter. I'd do all of these over trading for Abreu and signing a 2/3 starter.
-
I thought he'd get $62M/4. Yes, he was overpaid, but I think I'd rather pay $78M/4 than trade the rest of our farm for Abreu at about #38M/2.
-
He'll be 32 for most of next season and 34 for most of his last season.
-
I'd take Cole over any of our starters except Sale. His cost is low. His talent is good. He's healthy.
-
$13M is a pretty good deal? Cozart SS Bogey 3B Devers 1B/DH Hmmmm.....

So what are you guys gonna do to keep pace in the East? Put out a hit on him? -
Angels Sign Zack Cozart
-
One more down... Phillies Agree To Terms With Carlos Santana
-
Alternative facts.

GMs do not look at just the most recent year numbers. Here are Cole's ERA- over recent years: 100 in 2017 95 in 2016 68 in 2015 He has the 16th best SP'er WAR over 3 years at 11.1 (tied with Keuchel and ahead of Cueto, Syndergaard & Tanaka) 15th in FIP at 3.35 He placed 32nd in ERA- at 86

MLBTR reports... The Pirates and Yankees are discussing a trade that would send right-hander Gerrit Cole to the Bronx Bombers in exchange for a trade package that includes outfielder Clint Frazier, George A. King III of the New York Post reports. Unreal. Must be nice having a nice farm in this day and age.

Look who the Yanks got for a few rentals. Look who the Mariins got for gems with several years of team control. Case dismissed.

Totally objective. He was the worst fielding SS (who played over a decade) I've seen in my lifetime.
-
Jeter sucked. I'd have hated him anywhere he played.
-
I've crapped on Hosmer enough to cover him with a mountain, but he is probably better than Moreland. My main issue is the money AND the years. Second is what Hosmer will we get? The 2012, 2014 and 2016 or the 2013, 2015 and 2017 Hosmer?
-
Too funny!!!
-
Maybe Cashman thinks by waiting, he can get someone to take Ellsbury with less cash than now. That's the only reason I can see for waiting and losing a prospect.

Unless he pulls a Steve Lyons, we shouldn't...
