I think we make another move today, possibly two more this week, depending on if everything aligns properly.

 

Hope we do. Need to change this team around.

Look at the team from opening day a year ago vs. today and there is already a lot of change. I do agree though, there is more that needs to be done for the long-term future of the franchise but everything I've seen thus far are steps in the write direction. THere will be ups an downs that come with this though.

Sources: AL Cy Young winner Max Scherzer "definitely in play" in trade talks. Nothing imminent, but teams know he can be had.

Bruce Levine on 670 the score said they are going after a catcher and LH bullpen help

Great insider info there Bruce. We'd have never figured that out otherwise.

The catcher idea was pretty obvious....but the LH bullpen help is probably not going to make some people happy though

Namely, Charles Leesman and Donnie Veal. No one else should mind.

Thats about it

Jesus, why give up so much? No need to include the pitching prospects.

 

Well, De Aza sucks according to the majority of this board. Beckham does indeed suck and those who think he has any value think he could somehow turn it around after being the league for awhile. Petricka is eh. Rienzo is solid, but I wouldn't consider him near the untouchable list.

I don't anyone has said he sucks, as much as he is baseball stupid.

Wieters hasn't exactly been a shining example of success.

 

I honestly would have no problem giving up De Aza and Beckham for him, but that's where I draw the line. No need to include cost controlled pitchers.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 12:40 PM)
It seems the only time JoshPR ever posts is to say De Aza sucks.

 

1 person = majority

The Rule 5 draft is tomorrow. @jjcoop36 has the names to know and scouting reports in his in-depth Rule 5 preview: http://bit.ly/1h0eE1Q

Here's an idea. If Corey Hart signs with Seattle, how would you feel about us going after Montero and Seager as a package? Viciedo or De Aza plus?

I'm not sure why the M's would move Seager and not get a 3B back. But Montero/Franklin could be something.

So Rule 5 draft tomorrow. We pick second. Looks like a pile of crap available. We could use a Loogy, maybe. The Astros catcher listed is righty and garbage, unfortunately.

RP Zach Thornton and SP Brody Colvin are the guys I am hoping for.

Not sure how your post makes sense. The post I quoted said "I don't think anyone says De Aza sucks." When in fact that's all JoshPR ever says.

 

 

The the original response that you quoted was talking about a majority.....reread

They arent moving Seager....and the Nationals trade just a few minutes ago is probably a bad sign for the LH reliever market. Probably asking for too much.

Santos Rodriguez...

Charlie Leesman...

Leyson Septimo...

David Purcey...

Donnie Veal...

 

 

I think we are in good shape in regards to terrible lefthanded pitchers.

There is actually a hack in MLB The Show 2013 where it is now impossible to trade for Seager.

Corey Hart to the Mariners.

 

This means Justin Smoak is available guys! Let's do it!
