October 22, 201510 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 03:09 PM) I would love Upton. I'd rather we be the place that the Yankees trade Gardner to make room for Upton.
October 22, 201510 yr I'm sure we like him. I'm not a huge fan but I won't be opposed to it. Question is what and how much? 5/120?
October 22, 201510 yr I'd rather have Cespedes or Heyward, as I'm sure most of us would. But if it came down to Upton or Alex Gordon, who would you choose?

October 22, 201510 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 05:29 PM) Gordon, no doubt Tell me why Gordon is better. I think I'd rather have Upton but I really don't know.
October 22, 201510 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 04:15 PM) I'd rather we be the place that the Yankees trade Gardner to make room for Upton. I second this!
October 22, 201510 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 04:15 PM) I'd rather we be the place that the Yankees trade Gardner to make room for Upton. Isn't Gardner just a more expensive and older version of Eaton?
October 22, 201510 yr QUOTE (Mike F. @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 06:00 PM) Isn't Gardner just a more expensive and older version of Eaton? Right... maybe with a slightly better attitude. I don't think he's as talented as any of the free agent outfielders.
October 22, 201510 yr why would this team be signing more expensive free agents they aren't going anywhere next year.
October 22, 201510 yr QUOTE (Real @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 06:07 PM) why would this team be signing more expensive free agents they aren't going anywhere next year. Don't forget that next year will be year two of the three year plan
October 22, 201510 yr QUOTE (Real @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 06:07 PM) why would this team be signing more expensive free agents they aren't going anywhere next year. Great..when does Rick Hahn leave?
October 22, 201510 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 05:23 PM) Great..when does Rick Hahn leave? Right after Kenny does. Mark
October 23, 201510 yr QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 06:57 PM) Right after Kenny does. Mark I just hate the morbid attitude. They should try and fill as many holes as possible. Let's actually reach the playoffs next year.
October 23, 201510 yr QUOTE (Mike F. @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 06:00 PM) Isn't Gardner just a more expensive and older version of Eaton? That's what I see him as. Gardner's power definitely played into that ballpark as well imo. Comparing contracts, Pablo Sandoval (same age as Upton when given big contract) got 5/99 from the Red Sox. However, Pablo is coming off 3 WS titles I believe, I don't know if he was part of the first one though. So, imo, I think that would be the starter for Upton. I'd do 5/100 for Upton. Trade for Frazier and Norris. Then you have a formidable offense. I think those 3 additions, a better start to the year, not trading Q to get these 3 players. I think this team could make some huge noise next year.
October 23, 201510 yr QUOTE (Mike F. @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 05:00 PM) Isn't Gardner just a more expensive and older version of Eaton? Yep! But that doesn't mean we couldn't use a second Eaton that's a bit older and more expensive.
October 23, 201510 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 07:19 PM) Yep! But that doesn't mean we couldn't use a second Eaton that's a bit older and more expensive. No reason to give up assets to trade for an older and more expensive version of Eaton. Spend the money, and get one of the top 3 OFs.

October 23, 201510 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 07:27 PM) They tried it this year. Just didn't work out. It happens. So that means stop trying and sulk?
October 23, 201510 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Oct 22, 2015 -> 07:35 PM) So that means stop trying and sulk? Not at all and I'm not saying stop. I've stated my mock where we sign 3 guys and trade for Puig. This team doesn't have the talent to stand pat. They just don't. They have to make moves.
