i'll counter by sayingMeyer, Goodwin, Karns, Flores/Leon, Espinosa, moore
Hope we get some realistic offseason transaction talk going soon.
Why do the Rays want a 25 year old who just finished Single A? Why do they want our third string catchers who belong in Triple A? These are nothing prospects.Goodwin's ceiling BJ Upton/Chris Young.
Goodwin's avg. will be substantially higher than upton's or young's. Also if you haven't noticed the rays have absolutely no catching so they would probably welcome flores or leon. They did have a combination of jose lobaton and jose molina catching this year.
As much as i love price, kershaw has him beat there.
Price is doing it in the AL east, Kershaw in the NL west, to me that gives price the edge
Go hard or go home. Don't sign any mediocre geeks.
We don't have the prospects to get Price. It is that simple. Remember what we gave up for Gio? Peacock, Milone, Cole, and Norris. The Rays would want equivalent to that, plus another guy or two, and we simply don't have that now.
Not saying that I want him, but I'm really curious to see what the market for Melky will be because he was a pretty major disappointment before he got to San Francisco and subsequently busted for 'roids.
His issue with roids is what I'm most afraid of if we took a chance on him.
On another topic. I think melky would be a great fit in the 2 hole for us. he'd add a good bat and would balance out the righty-heaviness
I want an upgrade in the field (high average bopper), but short of that, there is no real reason to do more than tweak
Melky was absolute garbage before he started juicing.
I'm all for no major moves this offseason. Just find a 4th/5th starter and tweak the bullpen. This roster is good. It's easy to magnify all these "flaws" after a brutal LDS loss but this roster won 98 games with a ton of missed time from nearly every position player.Here's the biggest move we'll make. We'll be trading a .270/.340/.477 22-homer 19-year-old OF for a 20-year-old MVP candidate.
When did he start juicing?
