I think we are looking at Smoak,Morse,Willingham.Hosmer ,Butler. Also some corner outfielders on KC and DBacks and a few others. Most talks end in no trades so who knows.

Haha. The last part is going to get people talking about Gordon and Upton, respectively. :)

It's a bit risky, but moving Hammel might be smarter in the long run than trading Tillman. I just hope we don't move both.

That would be a huge mistake. Trading Hammel and Tillman both.

I'd trade Hammel + Matusz in a deal for Butler. KC would need a decent amount more I would think.

Upton is interesting. I'm all for that if the price is right.

Upton and Bauer for Tillman, Britton, Hardy, Schoop, and Strop.

We would get back a young pitcher to offset the loss of Tillman and Britton. Upton would fit nicely in the the middle of our batting order and he's signed through 2015.

Not sure about Upton or Butler. Francouer is more a possibility based on what happens with McLouth. Also heard perhaps the Braves . Anyone for our good friend Prado.

I guess we might here 30- names and perhaps end up with one. I think they make a bigger splash then Eveland.

It's going to be Morneau. I've just got a feeling.

That's not the worst idea in the world. He shouldn't cost a ton. We could probably get him without giving up Tillman. The injury history is the obvious risk, but if we could add him and McClouth that would be fine with me.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      This is it right here. The ideal scenario.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Definitely don't want Soto back.  I'm on the fence w/ Dominguez. I guess he's a fine hedge in the event that Felix isn't effective from the jump.  I don't want Rogers on this roster. As said before, I want an open competition for the 5th spot between Suarez, Povich, McDermott, Rogers. If Suarez doesn't make the rotation, he goes into the bullpen. Povich/McDermott/Rogers all have options. If I had it my way, here's what the 13 pitcher breakdown would be: SP1: Free Agent Signing (Snell, Burnes, Fried, etc.) SP2: Eflin SP3: Grayson SP4: Kremer SP5: Free Agent Signing and/or competition w/ Suarez, McDermott, Rogers, Povich Closer: Felix High Leverage: Coulombe High Leverage: Free Agent Signing Middle Reliever: Free Agent Signing *or* Dominguez Middle Reliever: Cano Middle Reliever: Webb Middle Reliever: Akin Middle/Long Reliever: Suarez I'd like to see this club sign a SP1, SP5, a high leverage arm and a reliable middle reliever type..

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Too Tall · Posted

      Have you not noticed, Frobby is not among us and I don't blame him one bit. Has been absent since last Wednesday evening.  By the way, I long lost track of any point and particularly relevance this discussion has to Burnes and 400 million.  Seems we are revisiting a lot of he should have - they could of - why can't we now. Great tangent though! Again, for the record, I believe no one is going to give Burnes anything close to 400 million. So my answer to the OP is again - No One!!!!

      This posts wreaks of someone who has no idea what the cost of relievers are nowadays. Which is, of course, no surprise that you aren’t informed. Now that said, I don’t have an issue if you take someone out..I asked that very question. Who do you take out or what do you not acquire in favor of keeping Suarez?

      You always have room for another high leverage guy.  And Akin has an option left according to FG.

      Yea.  I feel the same way.  I really do not care strongly one way or another.  Sure, I think it's kind of ugly.  I also think HR's came pretty cheap before.  I like the exciting defensive plays it fosters and of course the random triple & odd carom make for some fun and unique moments.  But I don't think it helps or hurts the team in any substantial way short of helping out the pitching a little.   I sure don't think the players are changing their approaches.  If they keep it as is, that's fine with me.  If they modify it some way, that's fine with me as well.  It does seem like there is some opportunity for some unique seats down there by modifying it slightly.  When I first saw it, it almost appeared like a construction Phase 1.  That might be reasoning for pushing it back so far, allows them some flexibility in the future.   I also don't buy that a Free Agent RH hitter is going to care at all about the wall.   They are getting paid regardless.  I'd think that 1-maximizing payday 2-playing for a winner 3-finding a location that suits your family would be your priorities and your long-term stat line would be very close to the bottom of your list of concerns.

      I would not pick up O'Hearn 8m option

      His "ability to play RF" carries about $0 value
