November 21, 201411 yr QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 21, 2014 -> 03:23 PM) Is it December 8th yet? Wake me up then please. I hear ya. I'm interested to see what happens on December 2 with non-tenders, but pitchers and catchers don't report for three months. Plenty o' time.

November 21, 201411 yr OPS in the mid 700s and dropping each of the last 3 years. He'll be 30 next year. Am I supposed to believe that's worth a top prospect? Heck, go get Carl Crawford. He delivers the same; he's only 32 (seems like he's 40, he's been around so long). We could get him and a couple of good prospects for Alexei. Work a 3 way to get Saunders out of Seattle; he's pretty good and could improve. On the WAR comparisons, I note that both he and Bruce are both dreadful defensively. this is more boom/bust, pay for past performance, get likely less in future performance, again.

November 21, 201411 yr I actually think this could be a great fit for the rotating DH/OF model. But no, he's not worth a top prospect. Did Morosi say he'd cost a top prospect?
