Either one looks a lot better than 4 yr, $70 mil to Trumbo. 

Yeah that looks stupid. Maybe if Trumbo was a .300 hitter.

I'll admit it, when I saw the thread title I thought he was talking about Joe Saunders.

I might have to visit Col Saunders on the way home for dinner, with all this Saunders talks.

So DD is going to let a poor defensive OF leave and replace him with another with a lesser bat?

Coghlan???

I agree on Revere. Hes an ideal buy low guy who can sit atop the order for us. i remember him well from his MIN days and saw a PHI game here and there since he left. Down year but a normal Revere is exactly what we need. 

I think Saumders could do some nice things here though. Please no on Coghlan though. Not a fan.

2014-2016

.353

.670  Why?

He hit over .300 in each of 2013, 2014, and 2015 with a .330-.340 OBP in each year with 20-40 steals. That sounds like a very solid lead off man to me, better than we've had in years. 28 years old.

lol it's not my money.  I'd go with the better option of the two.  We're likely to bring in a cheap vet C.  Mancini would be making the min. at DH.  Gotta spend money somewhere.  

What money?  Are they raising payroll?

Haven't they every year since DD got here?

That's what he tells us. Maybe this time by a Sergey Bubka increment.

90M - 2013

107M - 2014

110M - 2015

115M - 2016

I think to expect a little uptick in payroll isn't crazy. Maybe that's just me.

It was 152 last year.

So they are trading Brach for Granderson.

It's done? I just saw we want Granderson and their main interest is Brach from our bullpen.
