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

[paulcoates]

Kendry Morales

Didn't Headley play some LF a couple years ago?

Rasmus

Rios

Ichiro

I do think Dan will spend his money, but I can't guess on whom or when. Hopefully he does it wisely.

When he was with the team he was the worst. I know small sample size but he Playing in the American League should drive his offensive numbers down and he won't provide much offensive WAR being a DH.

He score 48 runs last season and 34 the year before and 53 in 2012. He isn't going to produce much and is a waste of serious money. If he wants a minor league deal than fine but obviously he is not.

"Playing in the American League should drive his offensive numbers down".

Is that a thing?

2016 will be more interesting with Wieters, Davis, Pearce, De Aza, Norris, and Chen all FAs.

Not too many big ticket FAs either: JUpton and Heyward, but not too much else.

We don't have to worry about 2016 decisions. The current MO of the team's management seems to be: if he's a FA, then let him walk. They all can be replaced.

You know what, it might shake out that Davis lands in RF and Pearce is kept at 1st - time will tell...

This is the track I would take plus signing D.Young as the DH.

Bruce and Morales (Morse would work too but I feel like he did not leave a good impression in 2013) and finding some higher upside pitching like Masterson or maybe try to get Leake or Latos in the deal with Bruce and dealing guys like Norris and Gonzalez for younger pieces.

[sportsfan8703]

Moss maybe? As a trade.

I really like this idea. 2 years away from being a FA. Scheduled to make around 7 this year. They are really thin at SS/2B. Maybe they'd be interested in Flaherty.

I know it's wishful thinking. But now all I want for Christmas is Andrew Miller signed with the Os. :hearts:

[Hallas]

Nori Aoki OF

Morse DH

Take a bunch of pitchers along the lines of Brett Anderson, Justin Masterson, etc.

Or go all-in and sign Scherzer. I suspect it will be in the 7/200 range.

Yeah, sounds about right.

[Scrat1]

I won't be surprised if De Aza, Lough, Pearce and Jones are our outfield. And I don't think that's a bad thing at all.

I think the biggest chunk of money will be on a new DH. Either Morse or Morales. I expect some depth signings and maybe a bullpen arm. I think they'll take that team into the season and use the additional payroll flexibility to acquire players as salary sumps midsession like de Aza last year.

Also, might be a good time to see if we can work out a Tillman extension.

If they didn't give Markakis 4/40 they aren't going to give Miller 4/40.

If they didn't give Markakis 4/40 they aren't going to give Miller 4/40.

I realize this. That's why it's wishful thinking. :002_ssad:

[Brooks The Great]

Sign me up for Aoki and Morse. Trade Bud Norris. Duquette will make this team better before Spring Training.

I would have liked to re-sign Cruz, but I can understand why we decided to go in another direction. I was really worried we'd sign Markakis for 4/$40-$48. Very happy we didn't.
