2014 Offseason Plans Thread Pt2

[darrylgann]

MY press conference is supposed to start shortly. On FSSW and 1310 The Ticket.

Heck of a press conferences. We need more of his type around here.

As soon as Pudge's is retired we can discuss Young

Yeah I agree, but with Murphy gone, I think that the Pudge's will probably be retired this season. Or at least it should be.

Surprised that hasn't happened yet. But both will get retired for sure.

 

[Windingmywatch]

i would offer him 2 with the 3rd a vesting option

Scotty ... you were in favor of TEX signing Rich Harden way back when too. You never met an old FA you didn't think TEX ought to offer a deal to.

Wasn't "7" retired when Pudge retired but since he got it from Murphy ... Murphy got it back?

Seems like I read that Arroyo is an extreme fly ball pitcher. Anyone know for sure if this is true or not?

Career 0.70 GB/FB rate seems like he's a FB pitcher to me.

Don't see where we should have any debate about both Pudge and MY. Retire them both, and soon.

Well so much for Ross getting to move to the rotation ...

there are at least a dozen right now that i wouldn't. we need a starter, JD says we are looking for a starter.

so if we don't consider him who do we consider?

Thanks.....guess I was just being lazy. Appreciate your assistance.

This is what I was remembering anyway and this makes him suspect for us IMO.

Rangers sign Daniel Bard

You were counting on Joe Ortiz for our BP? He'd be fortunate to make the team coming out of ST, much less be a key component.

IMO this effects RR's move to starter or staying in the pen not an iota.

He was going to have to compete with Figueroa and Kirkman, among others. Tough break for him.

Rangers sign Daniel Bard

Not earth shattering news.

Our right handed wild thing.

Nice play on words.

Where's Juan in all this?

 

[Broseidon]

Because Mitch would sit to much to hit 20 hr and could be used in trade for pitching. I really don't think We will need to worry about Cruz coming back.

I just don't think a trade centering on Moreland will move the needle much. If he's only going to fetch a depth rotation piece, I think he'd be more valuable on the bench
