Rowand44 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Loved the Edwin signing when it happened but dude sucked, the end. At least win he did hit one it went to the moon. Edited October 30, 2020 by Rowand44 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least win he did hit one they went to the moon. I didn't like it because he could suck, but thought he would be good, but he ended up suckng and not in a way that made me feel good about being right. OTOH a lot of players i wanted were absolute GARBAGE this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I'd like to congratulate Rick Hahn for not putting a buyout clause in EE's contract. $$ saved leads to $$ spent. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Second part of that tweet is interesting. I don't think Brantley is a good fit (not sure if he can play RF anymore) and Morton allegedly wants to stay east or retire, but obviously he named them for a reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, I have a feeling Brantley is who they end up with. He fits with the contact approach Tony mentioned and he fits the whole “how do we hit Indians pitching” plan Hahn discussed.

I started to wonder if they would pick up Leury, I'm sure 3.5 could have got someone comparable and he really has to stay on the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that Leury feels like a good sign that they're not going to be super cheap. Could have easily replaced him for less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that Leury feels like a good sign that they're not going to be super cheap. Could have easily replaced him for less We need two SPs. One really good one and a backend. This allows us to let Cease, Kopech, and Dunning to figure things out. I'd prefer that these pitchers are on 1 or two year deals if possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know there are enough core guys around for next 4-5 years, so bring in additional pieces to immediately help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leury has good value as a backup and injury replacement. Health is a big thing for him so I hope he can stay healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
