huff

yea..for all the talk about the yankees and being "fiscally responsible" i would be shocked if they didnt back up the brinks truck and make him a very wealthy Yankee for life.

ABTY over at PSD even said he heard the EJackson was still possible even if Sanchez DID sign with us..Adding Sanchez and EJaxx to our rotation would be stellar

Damn, robin yount gets around

I hear his friends call him Ron He's kind of a big deal

POST OF THE YEAR

i think this signing is a precursor to McCarthy on a multi year deal..they are apparently friends who have trained together...hoping for McCarthy as a future rotation piece. Definiely wont hurt our chances i believe

[-( not cool

Kevin Orie is probably still alive and kicking somewhere. ty griffin perhaps 8-[

SO is Samardzija not the same value as say a Hellickson? Shark has alot less wear and tear on his arm? Sorry but everyone here always goes bananas about trading shark but what is his value if not another teams top prospect? Would we trade Baez for Hellickson if we were ready to compete? I realize Meyers is a GOD to some but really? a TOR arm in his mid 20's with 4 more years of team control isnt worth a wil meyers? Agree to disagree then i guess.

Are you talking about Wil Myers? If so.... LOL. The Royals are listening to offers for Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, Alex Gordon, Billy Butler, and even Wil Myers. The Rays, meanwhile, are listening on James Shields and Jeremy Hellickson. Read more at http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/#7hdojkHe1Z8rQ1U9.99 lol indeed

Would love to see what it would take to get Moustakas. He could be a core guy at 3b for years. Makes Baez available for a TOR potential arm. I know the Royals are looking for SP they can control. If they called and offered Moustakas+Meyers for Samardzija+Barney+Russell i would be tempted.. Now before i get flamed for overvalueing Shark or undervaluing Meyers let me explain The royals would have shark for at least 3 years of control. They have toyed with the idea of moving Moose and moving Gordon back to 3b. Shark would be a great value to them as he would to us. I would hate losing him without getting back arms but for 2 core pieces i do it. Turn Baez into Bauer or Skaggs? Core of Castro+Rizzo+Meyers+Moustakas+Bauer with potential Almora+Soler on the horizon

umm....can we has mike please...i mean giancarlo...or what God calls him...BAMF.

If you did sign those guys and acquired Ubaldo then do you look to deal Samardzija? I know its not a popular thought here but he could fetch a tremendous haul because of the control years left...granted its about to start getting expensive but he is still a bargain. Sign McCarthy+Villanueva+Liriano Trade for Jimenez+Chisenhall Samardzija+Chisenhall to KC for Moustakas+Odorizzi++??? something of that nature...Just tough to find value for Samardzija

said it before but if we could get anderson by taking Coco's salary then sign me up. Andersons 5M+Coco's 7.5M (12.5m total) is alot of relief for the A's

Can Uggla play 3rd? might be a decent option for us if he can handle the position. If not he has more value at 2b with something to prove after a down year.
