time to sign the dh

[tedman2012]

our first pick in 14 draft is what 65 or so give it up . Nolan , manny , nick , davis , aj , morales ,matt, jj , flareherty looks pretty good

morales is a switch hitter and has played a lot of games in pitching friendly ball parks . angels and m's his only 2 teams . he may be a 30 hr guy in the yard .

I tend to think Cruz might give more pop plus he can play the field. I wonder if Peter will go to 115m?

listen to buck he wants a full time dh and is sold on morales . I don't relly like cruz not worth the money and the price would be higher . morales is like .400 avg vs red sox 3 years 40 mill not my money .

cruz is a negative test away from 100 games...no thank u and cruz was hitting in the launching pad...if its between cruz and morales...ill take morales 1000x before i touch cruz

I'm with you guys... Morales it is with his 23 HR's, 80 RBI & respectable BA. With 602 PA he only struck out 114x. Morales would benefit from OPACY and I believe would hit 25+ HR's and drive in 85+. I believe he could spell Davis from time to time for a day off or just DH Davis to save his legs.


156 Games 602 PA 23 HR 80 RBI 114 SO .277 BA .336 OBP

seems a lot of chatter morales on a 2 year deal with an opt out after 1 to the o's . he has to go somewhere soon .

 

[tedman2012]

roch says morales is a def no . reports are we are closing in on a deal with cruz . wow on ubaldso deal 3.2 million in incentives some of the money is deffered with no interest means his deal is over 50 million . how is cruz in the outfield ?

here is his last 3 years Nelson Cruz Stats, Splits - Texas Rangers - ESPN

 

[tedman2012]

well what would the line up be with cruz ? nick , manny , aj , davis , cruz , Nolan , matt , jj and ryan . bench weeks, lough , Clevenger .then carry extra pitcher . then again alexi over weeks means you have a ss but you could always move ryan over . roch had stated that buck would not give cruz lf so it's more of a dh for him .

 

[skinz2winz]

I believe Buck will use Riemold & Lough in LF depending on the matchup. Cruz as the primary DH.

here is lough minor leagues David Lough Stats, Bio, Photos, Highlights | MiLB.com Stats | The Official Site of Minor League Baseball

just remember avery was lights out stealing and we saw how that worked out . took 27 before lough made it to the majors . if he is our lf we will have 2 holes in the lineup 2nd and lf . I do think ryan is a place holder for schoop . I do hope that lough is as good as people think . I see him as a 4th of then again if uuuuuuuuuu takes off this boy will be a D replacement only . just think we gave up danny for this guy ! I liked danny but he was due some more money .
