Okay so WHO do we spend the money on???

Might as well blow it out for Miller or a starter.

If they can sign a starter and then flip Norris or Jimenez then you might be on to something.

Carlos Gonzalez's stats have been inflated by Coos Field. He's not nearly the hitter when he's on the road. Also, the Rockies aren't willing to give an "injury discount" in a trade for him. We won't be trading for him nor should we.

When healthy Gonzalez is a stud, no question to me.

I remember when Henry was talked about as the right fielder apparent. I guess when he was healthy, he did not show enough power to play for us though.

Signing Aoki, Morse and a couple of capable relievers would take away the sting of losing Cruz, Markakis and Miller.

We should resign Delmon Young even if we need to give him two years. Love having a professional hitter who can hit well coming off the bench.

The only trade I want to see is a trade involving one of our six starters. Not interested in trading any of our top prospects.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

De Aza

Pearce

Lough

Our money will all be spent in arbitration.

Was his defense good enough?

I just don't want some platoon of De Aza ,Lough, Pearce. I want legit replacements.

Is there anything there? Last season was ravaged by injuries. 2013 he was a slap hitter (with the O's).

I don't disagree.

After the Markakis deal, Aoki is going to get 3/24. For Fowler we'd have to give up a player and pay him 10 million. I think trading for Brandon Moss and waiting it out for Morales is the most likely route at this point. I'd really like to see us trade Hunter and Matusz and put that money towards Miller.

[Rene88]

I'd take Lester over him.

Lol, yeah right on both. That's funny.

Can't believe Nick is gone, shocked. People in Baltimore are sad.

What is everyone's opinion on Aoki?

He hit 1 HR in 491 AB's last year

Not what I want for a corner OF'er

The best plan may be to give the position to inside the organization candidates until a real corner OF'er is available via free agency, or make a trade for a Kemp level player.

He is not Nick Markakis by any means. He does run well, and he needs to because he takes some of the worst routes to a fly ball I have ever seen. He is a typical Japanese LH swinger, who slaps and runs. No power. LH pitching gives him a fit. David Lough is a much better player IMO. Lough is much, much better defensively and has some power.

Royals apparently preferred Aoki to Lough
