2010/2011 MLB Offseason thread

[RipCity32]

I think Detroit will end up brining back Magglio. Fans want him back real bad.

 

[Elite]

Tigers will get someone besides Martinez. Almost willing to guarantee that.
We didn't get all these big contracts off the books for no reason.

Ask the Knicks about that.

 

[RipCity32]

I don't think any of the FA's are good friends and will choose to play in the same location like in the NBA lol.

 

[A.E]

Nats threw a 3-year offer at Dunn...leading me to believe that when no other team wants to offer him more than a 2, he's back in Washington.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

As expect, Sox eyeing Werth.

Imagine if we got both Crawford and Werth? Crawford in left, Ellsbury in centre, and Werth in right.................

 

[The Guid]

It's a nice scenario but the OF would be very crowded. Plus, I think we need to make room for Kalish..who'll probably be full-time by the middle of the season.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

True. Question is, who would you prefer, Crawford or Werth?

Your lineup has a bigger need for power than you do speed. Ellsbury and Pedroia (healthy) are plenty of speed...Werth is needed to clean up & if Papi can muster a full season of hitting longballs, he and Jayson would be a dangerous 4-5 combo.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

With K-Mart going and possibly Beltre, we need a big bat in the middle of the line up.

Just speculation

1. Ellsbury
2. Pedroia
3. Ortiz/Youilis
4. Ortiz/Youkilis
5. Werth
6. Hopefully Beltre

You have no hope for Beltre coming back. Beltre wants more money than his option, a longer term deal, and Boston won't be willing to give that to him. For what Beltre is going to demand, Theo will just focus his attention on Werth...a way more reliable hitter. And no, I can't see Boston signing Werth and then negotiating to bring back Beltre.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Then we need a third baseman. Move Youk to third, then sign someone who can play first. Possibly Derrek Lee?

Adam Dunn son!!!

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Can't see Dunn coming to the AL. As much as I would love him on this team.

Pipe dream.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

^Obviously^

No one would expect that to happen

 

[Elite]

1. Jeter
2. Cano
3. Tex
4. A-Rod
5. Werth
6. Swisher DH
7. Granderson
8. Posada
9. Gardner

<3

5-7 30 HR threats in one lineup is nasty.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

I highly doubt you guys get Werth. Also A-Roid is barely a thirty homerun hitter. He just reached thirty the past two seasons.

 

[snipezo]

Cano hitting number 2?? Swisher was good in the 2 hole and cano was great in the 5 hole last year.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

I don't even see your guys need for another outfielder. Granderson, Swisher and Gardener were fine last season.

 

[Mexi]

Cano's ass should be hitting 3rd
