2014 Offseason Plans Thread Pt2

[donaldson79]

I bet the Angels and A's are wondering what they have to do now. Our line up looks awesome before we get a DH. Then there's the rotation. Pretty impressive and Harry's return ought to give em' something to worry about.

I think the Angels have dug such a hole for themselves that it's almost irrelevant what we do. At least in reference to them. They've got two just absolutely horrid contracts and little way to do much about it. And frankly, I think, in the long run, Pujols is not going to be as bad as Hamilton's.

Now the A's on the other hand have got to be "somewhat" concerned. haha

does any one believe that we are now out of the Tanaka chase?

these people do: Rangers to sign Shin-Soo Choo, likely out of Masahiro Tanaka sweepstakes - Pinstripe Alley

 

[lainey12]

7/130? is that right?

 

[parman4818]

Mitch moreland michael choice and a prospect or two for 3 seasons of jordan zimmermann

do not want to trade Choice he is going to be really good.Trade Beltre,Moreland and a couple of prospects just not Choice

I think the Angels will likely be better this year, pitching seems to improved...but Choo just put us right back where we needed to be
BETTER than the Angels, imo...all depends on whether Hamilton or Puljos rebounds

we'll be able to contend with the A's

Weather is atrocious here, no punching, no malls. I'm done anyway, just hope it doesn't blizzard when we leave for Dallas next week

CHOO, I'm so relieved and excited!

50s here next week some come on over

We've made a lot of ground up on the a's.

Who cares? I think they'll still negotiate.

Sorry folks. Meant to post this one. It's actually got some facts and figures to it.

Every article is saying we're out on Cruz.....I can't wait to hear what Terps friend has to say about that

I think we need to keep Beltre. He's a perfect fourth outfielder. Don't underestimate the importance of that.

Don't bet on us signing Cruz. I don't see it happening.

After our problems with OF's, I'd REALLY prefer not to trade him either, start him in AAA

always depends on the deal

 

[parman4818]

The Nat's are not going to trade Zimmerman they got Fister to bolster there rotation that is a stupid idea they they would trade Zimmerman is not going to happen Terps.

I don't either, nor does it matter to me as long as Choo signed...that was the big fish

don't believe it either but it's funny how one move makes them think it would

Gotta agree with this.

We were supposedly moving on from choo too.

Choo just makes our lineup so much better.
