2014 Offseason Plans Thread Pt2

[BLeslie59Rangers]

I always think of Arroyo with his stupid corn rows and for that reason alone, want no part of him

He would just be too expensive for what we'd get...I think I'd rather take a shot on Johann Santana.....wait, no,scratch that idea too...

 

[Broseidon]

If we're going bargain shopping, I hope we at least target ground ball pitchers. Lannan maybe?

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

HAHAHAHAHAHA What in the fuck?!?!

I assume you're responding to the ridiculous play to end the Saints game? Yeh, WTF was that???

Colston actually stopped himself from going out of bounds.

 

[RevSader]

because 46 in itself is ridiculous, to add to that is crazy and RBIA is less of a HR park than Cincy

46 also has shown to be an outlier in his career, even for a flyball pitcher that was over the top

So yeah, I'd say its ridiculous

Last year might have also been an anomaly for HR suppression in Texas. One season is far too small a sample size. Also Bronson has a slow ass sinker and fastball.

Also that's not even really a projection. I just wouldn't be surprised if he was blown up and totally bad.

Could Derek Holland's Injury Force Bronson Arroyo To Texas Rangers?


Not much in it

I've seen Lannan on the FA list and I've thought he might be a good ST invite before the Holland injury

I seriously think replacing Napoli and Josh with AJP and Leonys had a lot to do with it.

 

[romeo212000]

They have to pay that no matter what. That money is guaranteed whether he plays for them or not. My answer is yes. I would want him and the circus that follows him around away from my organization.


He's talking about showing up to ST. I would cut his ass ASAP.

Perhaps, but 50 would still be an exaggeration

That said, I doubt he's going to take a 1 year deal and he's probably not going to provide the value needed based on what he wants, but I still think you make a phone call and maybe he gets desperate later on and signs for cheap

But I doubt he comes here, but he is an option

I think that combined with other things made it look a lot better for pitchers. We will see this year though. Yeah I post the jokes bemoaning the death of the jet stream, but those are mostly in jest.

He screams NL pitcher to me at this point in his career. Who knows though.

There's more to it than just that, just saying the guys here hit fewer HRs oversimplifies what that number means

I oversimplify. It's what I do

 

[Hambombs]

Haven't Been paying attention lately but.. What the hell Derek holland??? Also Jerome williams?

I'd just assume roll with Tepesche mode than Jerome. But he would be cheap and provide depth.

I think depth is key after what happened last year and now Holland along with Harrison, Ogando and Colby coming off of DL time.

 

[Nightcrawler]

What about Blackley? By no means am I saying he should be a starter right now. Wouldn't hurt to have him in ST competing for a starter spot.

He will be playing in Japan.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Scheppers told to arrive in ST to both start and relieve. Not sure what to think of this. Last time he really started was in 2010 and it was for just 7 games and that really is it.
