    who is Wilson?

    never thought I would long for the days when the Trib owned the team If Hendry is still GM next year I will be beyond pissed I would be very happy if we hired the TB GM - Andrew Friedman - very different markets but if you can be successful in a small market against 2 very well run big market teams I like the chances of success in a big market

    woohoo - Pena is over .200
  4. Radar3454
    In case he reads this, CT means kick ass on the field, not in your dugout. Yes. This. unless Hendry is in the dugout

    I could be wrong, but I'm not expecting him to be one of the better hitters in the lineup. He stands a pretty decent chance of being our 6th or 7th best hitter. Seriously??
  6. Radar3454
    he would have to be pretty stupid to be using anything against the rules while working w/ Conte b/c of his rep - Byrd does not seem stupid to me in the least so I would bet $$$ he is clean

    Has your age ever truly been verified? my performance isn't based partly on my age and unfortunately no one is considering paying me 200-300 mil over the next 8-10 years
  8. Radar3454
    Has his age ever been truly verfied? Signing him to a 8-10 year deal at 31 is bad but if he is really 34 it would be that much worse.

    I'd like to see them - Thanks!

    I used to like Neyer but tired of him as it is usually just the same stuff with him - I much prefer KLaw. Stark and Olney are solid at what they do. Kurkjian has really good stuff on occasion. I really miss Gammons though.
  11. Radar3454
    sounds like the Royals were planning on buying him out for 6 mil or so but he wouldn't take any $$ from them
  12. Radar3454
    That's definitely wise, especially when you're the Oakland A's, but what if you're the Red Sox or the Cubs and you have the money. Is it good to let the talent walk and get the picks and rebuild the back end of your bullpen over and over again? Truly asking... I see where you are coming from but I think there are better areas to spend $$$/years. No way would I do an early deal with him b/c of injury risk.
  13. Radar3454
    I would go year by year and let him go as a FA and take the picks - don't believe in spending huge $$$/years on a closer
  14. Radar3454
    so he basically just gave the Royals 12 million by retiring?
  15. Radar3454
    great news
  16. Radar3454
    no other team was offering close to that much, can opt out after both years, lose 1st round pick good player for them to sign given how shaky their starting pitching is but hard to believe they could not have signed him to a more team friendly deal
  17. Radar3454
    To me you have to see how it works out. This is a trade you make it you are planning to win NOW - if you don't it is a bad trade.
  18. Radar3454
    conflicted about this trade - love Garza but hate to see Archer traded - I was ok w/ Lee getting traded but was not expecting Archer at all time will tell for this trade - it is a win now type of deal so we better win and make the playoffs or the trade will be a bust IMO
  19. Radar3454
    Wood probably asked for 2/12 and Hendry said he could only do a 1 yr deal and offered 12 mil
  20. Radar3454
    and they see him as a SS supposedly - lol
  21. Radar3454
    He's not horrible in the OF. I've seen him play horribly many many times and make very few catches that were not routine. On a scale from 1-10(10 being the best) he would come in around a 4 IMO and he is only that high b/c he has a great arm. He is better than Dunn out there but is well below average. You're not basing this on anything except what you think you've seen? What I think I've seen???? He does not go come in, go back, or go to his right well. He does cover a decent amount of ground to his left - not as much as he should with his speed though.

    I have not read all of the posts in this thread but I am going to add my .02 anyway - I would like to see Soriano try 1B. I think he could be average or above defensively as it is a much easier position that 2nd. Getting balls out of the dirt when you are stationary is different than having to move and field balls. There is a learning curve as 1B a bit opposite than other positions b/c you have to be ready to cover the base rather than just reacting and going to the ball. If he was not a horrible in the outfield I would leave him where he is but I don't see him getting any better out there at this point.
  24. Radar3454
    Not just put on waivers but actually let them go if claimed like Rios was last year? My list would be - Soriano, Z, Kosoke, Lee, ARam, Nady, Silva, Grabow, and would really think about Dempster.
