2015/2016 MLB Offseason Thread

[snipezo]

I'd venture to say at an average rate. I think they're going to move Soler and push him back to RF anyway. I think they really should trade Schwarber while his value is high though, because he really has no position on the Cubs. Might have to be a DH tbh. 

Yea I think their outfield defense leaves a lot to be desired but if they do plan on keeping everyone for the rest of the off-season, their lineup might just top Toronto's.

Appel is headed to the Phillies as part of the Giles trade.

 

[snipezo]

Odd. The initial package that was on the table for Giles was already good as it is. Adding Appel is just icing on the cake.

He like everybody else in this world is a #FutureDodger

(AKA he's not going to the Dodgers)

Indians on a discount 

 

[snipezo]

Doesn't Cleveland already have a decent 1B? You know, the one that plays guitar really well.

 

[elcheato]

i don't even know who they employee as their DH atm 

 

[snipezo]

Shapiro needs to move Cecil or Osuna asap. It's crazy how much gm's are overpaying on the rp market, it's kind of mind boggling. Having a good bullpen is great and all but good relievers are literally like dime a dozen.

 

[elcheato]

The Royals effect, which is ironic, because the Royals' best reliever is a converted failed starter. 

 

[RipCity32]

Al Avila has given the Tigers a nice little off-season. Wish we'd push after Gordon or Cespedes though. LF is a concern currently. Don't want a cocktail of Maybin/Moya/Collins out there.

Just saw the cards are gonna use moss and adams at 1st
So with them and baltimore out i have no idea who will sign davis

Maybe the angels

 

[snipezo]

They already have a ton of money commited to a 1b. Why would they do that?

 

[Mexi]

Cause i can't find a fit for him lol
Albert could dh and davis could play 1st and some LF

Angels definitely could use a bat and its not like they could go trade for anyone

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Speaking of this whole failed starter converted elite reliever, I read today some believe that might be the direction Appel is headed.

I think either Cespedes or Davis end up in Los Angeles. Preserve Albert at DH and what he has left.
