I wouldn't mind going cheap with someone like Schwarber who you could pull the plug on with no long-term commitment if he is bad and Vaughn waiting to be called up.
I keep going back and forth on this. Sign someone to a one year deal and if they are bad, you can cut them in favor of Vaughn. If they are doing good, then you keep Vaughn in the minors. Too many good players at the MLB level is never a problem.
Yes. I would add:
- Back-end/reclamation starter (Q, Kluber, Paxton, Walker, etc)
- A closer (Hendriks, Colome, Hand, etc)
- Another reliever (Bradley, McGee)
- Left-handed bat (LaStella, Miller, etc)
- Backup catcher (one that is more defensive oriented)
I'm a fan of that idea. Even if they sign Hendriks, I feel like there are a good amount of options out there to grab another good guy later to add to the pen as well.
Cleveland Spiders (old name), Cleveland Tribe (not offensive, can stick with the C logo), Cleveland Major League Team (Major League reference) have my votes.
We all would have prefered Springer. That was never going to happen. We basically either going to sign someone on the cheaper side to platoon with Engel.
We all would love to have star potential everywhere in the lineup 1-9 but it's unrealistic.
Have you heard that they are talking to Brad Miller or are they trying to bring in a left-handed hitting infielder in general?
I can't see LaStella taking a bench job.
I was more referring to just moving on and accepting you won't get through to someone lol I know you're right. A lot of people do too. But at some point it's not worth the time. You're spending a day+ on this coming off likes it's exhausting.
