2009/2010 MLB Offseason Thread.

[The Guid]

apparently they are discussing Snyder for Overbay

 

[snipezo]

I'd love Barajas to be resigned. He's such an underrated defensive catcher who could also hit homeruns.

Twins pick up Michael Cuddyer's option for 2011

 

[Benny21]

Bengie's going to the Mets! We love overpaid, old, and useless players, lol. Jk, idk but we definitely need another catcher and the Mets are considering Bengie, Barajas, and Torrealba.

Try being a giants fan...

Winn...
Renteria...
The Unit...

Randy has stated he doesn't want to come back as a reliever so I think he's done, especially if the Giants re-sign Penny.

Winn had a terrible year so he's basically done...at least in SF

Rowand's coming back of course

Yeah, facepalm

 

[playmaker7]

You don't like Rowand or something?

PM7, Rowand flat out sucks

he's got good D, but thats it.
and thats a ton of money to pay for a one dimensional fellow.


btw, Sammy Sosa is white and it may be due to steroid use

Rowand is great defensively thats why I like him. He can still hit like he did in 07 but thats unlikely out there in San Francisco. AT&T Park puts him at a disadvantage

BTW that Sosa photo seriously scared me

 

[cruzg24]

Dude Sammy Sosa looks disgusting...... wtf happened....

 

[snipezo]

Ya man Sosa looks hella scary.

Rowand sucks...
Yet Bochy/Sabean refuse to realize this because he's a "gamer"

Rowand was in a hitting park all of his career. His hitting just didn't...doesn't translate to AT&T Park. He's still a good contact hitter but thats not what everyone wants him to be. Those 27 homers in 07 is what he was predicted to replicate. Look at his last 2 seasons in SF, yeah his numbers got worse.

I'll go as far as saying he's a good player on the wrong team. Still a great leader and great defensive outfielder though. He doesn't "suck", he just can't live up to his contract...hitting wise

He can't live up to his contract - period. If his UZR was Randy Winn/Ishikawa status, then I might give him the benefit of the doubt, but it's a measly 1.3. For his contract and lack of offensive performance, I want at LEAST an 8 UZR.

1.3 UZR for him last year...8 would have been better yes but I think its fine

If he can add some more power to the lineup next year then I'd be fine with keeping him longer. Seriously, he's a good contact hitter but its just the park

 

[elcheato]

.261 AVG?

 

[playmaker7]

.261 AVG?

Yeah I know he's capable of hitting better than that. He hit like .270 in 2008 and that wasn't good for me

I usually give a player 3 years before I give up on them haha. I like Rowand and this is the deciding year

 

[cruzg24]

Omg I just made an amazing Mets offseason plan. It looks really good and rather legit, lol.

 

[playmaker7]

So you're just gonna tease us rather than showing us?

 

[iInsulin]

I'll only be happy if the Mets sign either Holliday or Bay and Lackey. This past season was a disgrace to watch.
