felix hernandez is a key name to watch.

Seriously doubt it.


How does Lester, Barnes, Owens, Webster, and WMB grab you?

[bagwell368]

I have a feeling the Red Sox will sign both Greinke and Swisher.... just a feeling.

The "in the know" writers have already said the Sox have dismissed Grienke as a candidate.

Read Red Sox kicking up tires about CarGo and Troy T, listen whatever they want for Troy baby, whatever

While everyone would love to acquire either one of these guys, I'm sorry to say that this isn't happening, Dick Monfort has already been quoted that neither Cargo or Tulo will be traded this season.

No, no, no, just no.

Yeah ok......

I really wouldn't mind getting Alex Gordon. I think I like him more the LoMO. It'd would take a starting pitcher to get him though.

I really think we are in a great position though to build a dynasty. As long as we don't spend money on a lot of long term deals. That 2015 F.A looks absolutely un real. I think our specs will be coming into there own, and we will have money to sign some studs.

On this forum? No. Understand that there are people who patrol these forums just looking to crucify you. Not anyone in particular, but there is no sense getting worked up over it.

Felix is the god send for Redsox fans. He's perfect. Unfortunately, Seattle knows that.

For Alex Gordon and Salvador Perez I could unload a fat package:

Buchholz, Webster, Workman, Jacobs, Lavarnway + $10M

Don't say no until you figure out who Perez is and how long we control Gordon.

Sure thing - but if you whine when I express mine what does that say? It goes both ways.

I guess you missed my predicted trade to get him:

I know who Perez is lol. I can't imagine they would give him up though. I think we could get Gordon for Buchholz almost straight up. I say almost cuz it's never straight up in baseball.

The Webster, Workman, Jacobs package is something i'd offer for Tulowitzki. The exact package I was thinking was Webster, Workman, Wilson, Jacobs, and Iggy for Tulo +

For next season a lineup starting with

Ells
Pedi
Ortiz
Tulo
Gordon
WMB

That sounds nasty.

Our rotation would take a hit. However there are F.A available to replace Buchholz.

I throw this idea out there, however i'm semi convinced that Buchholz is going to have a great season... I'm so torn haha.

I think Xander is absolutely in this deal. So i'd take away one of Barnes, Owens, Webster and add Xander. Plus we are most likely taking on Figgins as a bad contract.

I'm not saying that I would replace them with Xander it's just I believe that Seattle would demand him.

I would absolutely do either deal though.

Anything for King Felix will cost an arm and a leg...Bags is right it will start with buc, XB, WMB, Brentz, Owens and Barnes...
Still not worth that imo...King Felix has so many innings on his arm and he would have to sign an extension before we completed the trade. I love him to death and he would make our rotation simply that much better if not the best in the AL east. But to morgage our future...the only true player I would be willing to give up XB for is Stanton...23 yr old with limitless power and rhh which would equal about 50 hr a year...not to mention we have been lhh heavy for awhile...imagine Stanton hitting 3, ortiz 4, and Napoli 5...which is the one "Big" FA I think we sing.
And is he even a "Big" FA? He has just as many questions surrounding him as anyone not named Hamliton. (Diffrent ?'s)
My offseason: Sign Napoli 3 yrs 36$M with a club option for 9M for year 4.; Sign Sanchez 5 yr 65M(not happening at that price would would be ok with me)(he wants more years...screw that) (I want)-Melky 1 year deal worth about 8.5M...overpay but he has something to prove and fenway could be perfect for him to do that and we all know he can succeed in the AL east.
first sim dont kill me...haha

Yeah I meant XB but I brain farted it off... the package is going to be over the top and it appears he may have peaked already. Bad combo.
