    Reds and Rockies Speculation

    in Pale Hose Talk

    Posted

    Bucket said the other day that not only had Hahn been on the phone all week with Billy Beane, but that he had also contacted the Rockies and Reds regarding some deals. What do we think could be in play as far as those are concerned? Latos? Bruce? Gonzalez? Dickerson?

     

     

    Your 2015 Offseason Plan

    I would love to see the Sox go get Sandoval and Markakis. A top half of a line up of :

     

    Eaton

    Markakis

    Abreu

    Garcia

    Sandoval

     

    would be pretty scary. Markakis would see great pitches all the time with Abreu behind him. Hopefully Sandoval would have a nice spike in his power numbers moving to the Cell. Then Gillaspie could either be traded or used as a DH and to spell Sandoval at 3B on occasion.

     

    Not sure what I would like to see them do in terms of a RH starter, but I think I'd like to see them go get Sergio Romo and Zach Duke for the pen.

    Micah Johnson Question

    Was there some underlying reason (aside from moving up a league) that his stolen base numbers dropped like they did? I like him a lot, and think that if his base stealing gets right, he could be a ton of fun to watch moving forward.

    Reading that reminded me of how great the Sale and Quintana contracts are.

     

    I think one of the most important (if not THE most important) thing to address is a LH power bat. Beyond that, the bullpen needs a lot of help.

     

    Should be an interesting offseason.

     

    Someone the other day mentioned Carlos Gonzalez. I feel like it's too much to hope for, but it'd be nice.

    the players I like so far are in order:

    1. Brendan Rodgers - hs - ss

    2. Ian Happ - college - ss/of. he did great in cape league this summer.

    3. D.J. Stewart - college - of.

    4. tie - Walker Buehler - college - pitcher, Nathan Kirby - college - pitcher

    and then there are several other pitcher of note with Russell, Lemoine and Ferrell

    I happen to like all of those guys, but I would add Kyle Tucker to that list.

    Carlos Rodon prospect watch

    I think that, at this point, Carlos will start 2015 in Chicago. But odds are that he isn't going to be a 200+ inning pitcher right away. So, I think that I would rather see him coming out of the pen to start the season to avoid a Strasburg situation from a few years ago when they shut him down for the remainder of the season. I think that spending April and May in the pen would allow him to conserve enough innings that he could be a starter the rest of the year and really help out down the stretch for a playoff run.

    Why is Kolek falling?

     

    That's sorta what I was wondering. Why now? Don't get me wrong, I am fine with whoever gets selected, because I trust what the front office is doing right now, I just don't get what could have caused the 11th hour slide. Signability concerns?

    I'd LOVE Nola at say, pick 5 or 6. I can honestly even see an argument for taking him over Kolek or Aiken purely because you fear the uncertainty of HS pitchers.

     

    But Nola over Rodon? They're both 1-2 years from having a shot to stick in the majors and Rodon has a way higher ceiling. I bet literally every team would take Rodon over Nola.

     

    I believe you are right if all things are equal, but it muddies the water if Rodon would want to sign over slot and Nola would be willing to work a deal.

    Keith Law said last night that Nola could be in the majors this year and in a rotation next year.

     

    I don't know for sure, but I feel like that may be a bit overstated. Sale was on about the fastest fast track I can remember and it took him a partial bullpen stint and then a full year in the pen before he hit the rotation.

     

    Not saying it can't happen, but I would be surprised if they moved that quickly with anybody.

    Some of both. I want no part of Rodon.

     

    Gotcha. It's tough to keep straight who doesn't want which players for what reason. Hahahaha. Rodon scares me more from a cost standpoint than a delivery standpoint, but then again, I don't know much about the mechanics of pitching at all.

     

    Not trying to second guess people's reasoning, but where were all the concerns about his delivery last year and even into the beginning of this season? I kept reading how he was supposed to be this slam dunk, can't miss prospect and now (seemingly all of the sudden) there are a lot of concerns with his delivery and mechanics. Just wondering what (if anything) changed.

    At this point my draft board is:

     

    1 Aiken

    2 Kolek

    3 Nola

     

    No Rodon even if he's available? Because of signability issues, delivery issues, both, neither?
