    Lake is playing really well in the winter league. He's continuing to increase his walk rate from 7.95% in the regular season to 8.48% in winter league both following a 2011 where his walk rate was 4.09%. The concern is that his K rate is still really high. .311/.379/.849 in the winter league so far.

    Wood Yeah that's logical, but for whatever reason I just can't imagine Wood and Villanueva sitting in the bullpen. Granted that would make for a vastly improved pen. I think the chances that both would remain in the pen all year are pretty slim. Yeah for sure. Even if the rotation avoided injuries, they'd just be plugged in when Feldman and Baker are inevitably traded.

    I suspect this was more that they didn't want to put up with Yunel's [expletive] unless the Marlins took something of almost no value rather than that they value Lake more than Yunel.

    7 starters to me means there has to be a trade of some sort happening. I really can't imagine Villanueva and Wood being stuffed in the pen.

    Bullpen still really needs another lefty after dfaing Beliveau. Not sure that I like JP Howell over Beliveau, but that's what I see happening.
  8. Tryptamine
    That's fine with me. Personally I'd prefer keep him unless we get a ridiculous package like I mentioned before.

    Guy who has connections in the Royals' organization.

    ABTY Gyorko+Kelly+Maybin would be about right for me.
  11. Tryptamine
    Adding Villaneuva and still pursuing Edwin Jackson makes me real concerned that the Rumors about Garza's arm that ABTY was talking about are real.
  12. Tryptamine
    Me too, but would you trade one of our top prospects for him? I wouldn't, he could easily end up being a reliever. Maybe the Royals are looking for someone like Barney to replace Johnny Giavotella at 2B since they're seemingly all in for 2013.
  13. Tryptamine
    I'd certainly be willing to take Yordano Ventura off their hands.

    Kendry Morales goes to the M's for Jason Vargas. I love this trade for the M's. Vargas is awful outside of Safeco and Kendry had a nice second half in his first year back.
  15. Tryptamine
    I can see a very good argument for Torreyes at this point. He's a guy who will be 20 all next season. At age 19 in A+ ball he played above average defense at 2B, improved his walk rate from 4.38% to 6.3%. In the first half he had that outrageously horrible babip luck, but after the ASB he put up a 297BA 361OBP 450SLG 811OPS line in a notorious pitchers league.
  16. Tryptamine
    I went Torreyes, Candelario and Underwood.

    http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/8759244/oakland-shortstop-hiroyuki-nakajima-agree-two-year-deal It would take a long time to explain. Just consider it a cultural thing.

    If the Angels get anything of value for Wells, and we can't move Soriano that will suck. per ABTY, the Angels are willing to eat a lot more of Wells' contract and they're also willing to take back a bad contract for a nice return.
  19. Tryptamine
    4/56 is the highest I'd be comfortable with; I'd begrudgingly go 4/60. 5/70 is absolute max and to be honest I'd feel real uncomfortable with that.
  20. Tryptamine
    If I remember correctly the "too steep" meant that the Padres wouldn't go 4 years. I personally have no problem with Edwin on a 4 year deal. Maybe 4/52 or 4/56.
  21. Tryptamine
    Already older and depends almost entirely on his speed to provide his value.
  22. Tryptamine
    Good job Jay you stupid [expletive].
  23. Tryptamine
    [expletive] you refs.
  24. Tryptamine
    I give up, The refs are going to [expletive] us no matter what we do.
  25. Tryptamine
    It's not often you see a team get ref fucked on their own field.
