2009/2010 MLB Offseason Thread.

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

I haven't given up on him
I'm just frustrated with his performance as of now.

If we gave him a league minimum contract, I'd be more than happy. But his contract is really what irks me.

and the Blue Jays only get Cabrera? such bull <Censored>

 

[The Guid]

That's just his opinion...and what exactly do you see the Jays doing? I don't see anything MAJOR that can happen.

 

[cruzg24]

Sweet! Holliday, Wolf, and Penny would be a good offseason. I really like Wolf and him coming back to the NL East.

 

[Dice-J]

Where are Yankees pulling out all of this money, they have enough money to go get Lackey to? Thats just unbelievable. However, I'd love to see the Sawx after all these are true.

Rotation: Beckett, Lester, Matsuzaka, Chapman, Harden
Pen: Bard, Wakefield, Delcarmen, Papelbon
Line-Up: CF Ellsbury, 2B Pedroia, C Martinez, 1B Youk, LF Bay, DH Ortiz, 3B Lowell, RF Drew, SS Scutaro

Just nasty

 

[elcheato]

I hope the Indians sign someone :unsure:

 

[playmaker7]

I don't agree with most of those predictions but who knows

idk, with it being Halladay's last year, they have to make a push for the playoffs

I wouldn't be surprised whether they get a big name or not, but if they don't they won't be scoring on just one player, they'll probably bring in quite a few guys.

 

[Mexi]

dodgers wont do <Censored>

our opening day line-up:

Furcal SS
Kemp CF
Ethier RF
Manny LF
Loney 1B
Blake 3B
DeWitt 2B
Martin C
Kershaw P



but this has potential to be awesome!

Cuban + no salary cap + huge market = NL Yankees

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2009/11/brad...eeway-deal.html

TOR gets: Milton Bradley
NYM gets: Lyle Overbay
CHC gets: Luis Castillo

 

[Benny21]

wow mets get a steal from that deal

 

[The Guid]

well, i should have specified, though it says in the article, it's not just those three. That's just the framework of the deal.

 

[elcheato]

If the deal goes through Cubs get a huge steal, getting rid of Milton Bradley without having to cut him and that big contract = steal.

 

[Gtown81]

Are you <Censored>ing kidding me? Milton Bradley? He's the last guy I want as a Blue Jay

if that's the type of outfielder the Jays are looking for, I'm going to convert to another team

 

[Mexi]

too bad they dont have Rios anymore.

Milton Bradley
Vernon Wells
Alex Rios

would have been amazing lol

 

[The Guid]

I probably wouldn't want him on my team either but, for a glass half-full perspective, if he has a bounce-back year he's better than Overbay and it frees 1B for Adam Lind.

 

[Mexi]

Milton did one great thing for the Dodgers.

Allowed us to acquire Andre Ethier from Oakland


but your right Baggs. Milton as DH could be great.
although i've heard he did so great with Texas because Jaramillo was his hitting coach.
too bad Milton hates Chicago. The two could have been reunited. I guess they still could if this rumor is BS

There's problems in the clubhouse as it is, bringing in a bad attitude probably isn't the best idea. Also we need the money to throw at Halladay.

tbh, I think Milton is overrated and he just isn't the right fit in Toronto

 

[Mexi]

The Chicago Tribune's Paul Sullivan is reporting that Toronto "wants no part of Milton Bradley." Meanwhile, Cubs GM Jim Hendry said that Chicago hasn't given up on Bradley, according to MLB.com's Scott Merkin. Of course, Hendry has to say that until the moment Bradley is traded.
