Vargas
so far
Falu is pretty useless, I don't think he even counts, lol.
Beltran 16 mil a year for ages 37, 38 and 39???? I would be happier with 4 year at 12 mil a season...just comes down to what they have to do to counteract the money....it could be good or a disaster...better have something figured out by the end of december.
This somewhat hypothetical deal would tend to indicate Butler is expendable.
Just weird to expect a late 30's guy to hit 25 to 30 hr and .300 when we have a younger version of someone who can do it...but if they trade Butler for an SP and a 2b...it could be a great move...if, if, if.
Rockies interested in Aaron Crow
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
The Rockies are looking for another bullpen arm and have interest in Royals relief pitcher Aaron Crow, the Denver Post reports.
The Rockies were previously considering offering Dexter Fowler to the Royals in exchange for one of the team's relievers but wound up shipping him to Houston instead. Crow went 7-5 wtih a 3.38 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 44:22 K:BB ratio in 48 innings last season.
Crap....I love Will Smith....but like Aoki....
Gordon, Aoki, Beltran? maybe Beltran is out now or Cain is going to be 4th OF?
This could mean we are not getting a 2b, but Aoki is only 2 million for 1 year...who knows.
Cain being a 4th outfielder is dumb, he gets you 2.6 WAR with just defense and baserunning. If his bat ever develops, he is a more valuable version of Ellsbury.
Atm it looks like a Beltran/Aoki platoon
Beltran vs RHP 144 WRC+ (44% above avg)
Aoki vs LHP 120 WRC+ (20% above avg)
The kicker is Aoki needs to be leading off every day for us so this screams Butler trade right now for a Franklin+ prospect.
I would have rather gave up Crow or Collins than Smith....argggg
