Flores was solid for a catcher, as a hitter... but you put that bat at 1B... and it becomes terribly underwhelming.
It's going to be Pena or LaRoche or Flores or Morse or Willingham or Marrero. That's my prediction and I'm sticking to it. In order, of course.
am I setting myself up for disappointment by hoping we land A-Gone?
What are teams going to have to give up to get Gonzalez? I can't imagine what the Padres are gong to expect to get for him...and, honestly, what is the point in your team existing if you can't keep your best players?
i'm guessing zimmermann and norris would be part of any deal.
Yodaer argues for Berkman:http://thenatsblog.com/2010-articles/january/the-nationals-need-to-sign-lance-berkman.htmlone year place-holder for $7 million.
Adrian - the reports are that the Red Sox are aggressively trying to trade for him but other teams are in as well. He's slated to make $5.5 million next year, probably $15-18 a year after that.
Gonzalez-Sox talks heat upWe have confirmed an ESPN-Boston report that trade talks between the Red Sox and Padres on first baseman Adrian Gonzalez have heated up.The two sides have discussed some of Boston's major prospects - Anthony Rizzo and Casey Kelly among them - according to a major league source. Things that would have to be worked out would be a contract extension for Gonzalez, who earns $6.2 million this season, and there would be obvious questions about his health after the slugger had shoulder surgery. Most teams require that a major player pass a physical in order for a trade to go through and that would be the case here.[snip]The Padres can receive the best package of players now. The package could include three or four Sox players, one player who may be major league ready. The financial package for Gonzalez would likely be in the form of a six-year extension that could average close to $20 million per season.The Sox recently courted Carl Crawford and Jayson Werth, but it's been clear all along that Gonzalez is the prize.
Cole can't be traded though.Did Kelly ever pick a positions in SS or Pitcher?
i can't imagine we're going to trade for a guy who'll command $20 million a year. Oh well.
I cannot shake the thought that Mike Morse is gong to be our 1B next year.
Probably. Did you catch the line from the FO about wanting bench players that will accept their roles?
I'm praying he means Ivan Rodriguez to the bench.
