2011-2012 MLB Off-Season Thread

Roger Clemens....? Seriously?

 

[Elite]

Outside of the first couple that they got I never would have guessed. Who the hell knew Kelvim Escobar would be on there? lol

 

[Elite]

Lance Berkman, Jason Giambi?

 

[NV]

Yeah that one I wouldn't have done well lol

But I can't believe they couldn't name ONE guy who hit 30 homeruns in a year on the same team as Clemens.

[Elite]

The Yankees need to trade for Andrus or Profar when Jeter retires, please. I love both of those guys and there's only enough room at SS in Texas for one of them.

 

[elcheato]

Asdrubal is likely to be a free agent when Jeter's contract expires, and the Indians top prospect is at SS. Likely candidate for the Yankees.

 

[Elite]

Don't want Asdrubal.

Manny Banuelos is WAYYYY too high. No way in the world should he be above Jesus Montero.
And I'd take Pomeranz over MannyB anyways

Rizzman should be a tad higher than 37.
WMB is accurate at 56. Love the dude, but Sox Nation is overrating him.
Xander at 76..... he's 19 years old love this kid
And Lavarnaway should be higher than 93

Indians have just one guy on the top 100 (Lindor), but he's 18 years old and at #32. Gonna be a stud.

But, Pomz & White were traded and Chiz and Kipnis were promoted so it's understandable. Most of our high ceiling prospects are in Single A so they won't be on the top 100 list for at least a year or two.

Banuelos is not way too high, he's a legit top 15 prospect. Montero should be in the top 7 or 8.

4 Jays on the list only on made top 50 though. I expect to see some more pitchers other than Syndergaard next year though.

EDIT: Where's Darvish?

 

[Elite]

I will deal with Jurickson Profar or Elvis Andrus, not Asrubal <_<

 

[Mexi]

3 dodger starters on the top 100 list
cool. i didnt think we'd get 3

A type of player like that who's over 23 will not be counted on the list they said.

 

[NCSportsfan21]

Matt Moore and Hak-Ju Lee!


Pomz will be a stud. I think he's going to sneak up on a few people. He has ace potential I think, even if his stats now say he's only a good 2.

Still considered a prospect to me. Whatevs BA will probably have him on their rankings.

 

[cruzg24]

Zach Wheeler
Matt Harvey
Jeurys Familia


Thats what I love to see, a stockpile of pitching prospects where we can hit on one of them. Hopefully all 3 can develop into major league pitchers. Wilmer Flores is close to being on that list as well.

The Yankees are looking to add a bat before the 2012 season starts and Raul Ibanez is on their radar.

The New York Post reports that the Yankees prefer the 39-year-old to Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes.

Not a fan of Ibanez. Would rather go with Damon or even Jones over him.
