2 sets of evidence here: the only legit CF backup with MLB experience and expertise is Jake. The 2 other candidates (straw and Tucker) have...
Defense wins championships, lol.
Isn't his 1.9 mil guaranteed?
Good point. That's a clue about their intentions with him.
Jake can't stay in AAA for more than 45 days. Tucker has played his fair share of games in CF in the minors, but it will take time for him to...
Straw doesn't have the defensive wizardry that Marisnick has, yet. He's extremely fast, but the route reading, ball throwing, decision making,...
Agree with Redfish on Jake. He just makes more sense as a backup. We should either sell Tucker or give him his full-time shot in RF. We aren't...
I agree with some of that. But we aren't getting a Ryan, Scott, Johnson, Hampton, Oswalt, Pettitte, Verlander, Keuchel, McCullers or Cole. The...
Similar names in each list.
We're getting some consistency in our responses. :)
Kluber and Syndergaard are way out of range. They would gut our best prospects to land them, and in turn add $ that would impact us several years...
I don't think the cost for Boyd would warrant not shopping for Cruz. If we go via this type of path, it's prospects only that it will cost. I...
In order to stay competitive,we are going to have to use a lot of internal options in pitching. We may resign Cole or Verlander, but it's highly...
That's horrible. Big guy. Hope he gets the help he needs to manage his heart.
2018 ABs: Cruz 519, White 210. Career OPS: Cruz .860, White .777. Cruz 2018 OPS: .850. White 2018 OPS: .888. Cruz was right on point with his...
Haha. Which SP that is available now do you want to pay for?
Well we agree on Tucker/Reddick. You can't have both and you can't have neither. I think Cruz on a 2 year deal would be a perfect setup for...
It just doesn't feel like the market is right for a starter. Too rich. Alvarez MIGHT be ready for a cup of coffee in Sept. MLB has him projected...
My best guess at the package on the table for Realmuto: Kemp, White, Stassi, Martin and Bukauskas for Realmuto and one or two mid-level...
I agree. I have to believe if we are in strong pursuit of Cruz, it is because we don't have faith in White. And yes, White has more appeal to...
