2014 Offseason Plans Thread

How do we sign Beltran and Cruz with only one spot available in the outfield? Both will want to play defense.

If Beltran wants to play defense then there is no way we sign choo and Beltran.

 

[Hambombs]

I think Cruz is probably going elsewhere, I'm pretty much counting him out at this point.

Yeah just a hunch I think

Exactly.

Lol, Brady goin' postal, and he's right

I just think it would give us lots of flexibility with Cruz and Beltran to split some time at DH and Cruz playing RF some while shifting Rios to LF some days. I know Rios has played CF and is primarily a RF now but I don't see him not being able to play LF. Gives Beltran some rest and doesn't get Gentry or Moreland in many lineups but just kind of a pipe dream of a lineup with more thump.

The one you posted a page back has Beltran not choo

I posted one earlier that looked like this.

LF Choo
SS Andrus
3b Beltre
1b/dh Fielder
RF Rios
1b/dh Moreland
2b Profar
C Soto
CF Martin

 

[Hambombs]

What does someone think of getting choo and Michael morse at DH? Or would you just role Moreland out instead

I just see both guys wanting to be in the field most days and neither agreeing to spend significant time as dh.

I'd rather role Moreland out.

Eh, could've gone either way. My anti north east sensibilities say go Broncos.

Better, I prefer Choo. 3,4,5 should score some runs. Who knows about Moreland

 

[Hambombs]

Wow I didn't even know ubaldo Jimenez was a free agent. He had a really good year. 2.17 FIP 2.99 xFIp in the second half last year

Probably the way it would shake out, and I'm kinda like a few others in that I think Cruz is all but gone. However I keep replaying the season he was having last year and sure as heck don't want to see him land in the AL and surely not in the division. Dude still smashes a baseball when he's on

Oh ok yeah I really love choo at the top of the order

I was looking for a good game, I got one. I don't mind the Pats and respect Brady, but I'm a Peyton fan

that's about how many players I know in this game

I'm actually ok with Cruz leaving he's decent but not a all star

 

[romeo212000]

So you're vote is choo over Beltran our Cruz?

Yes.

Agreed. If it's Beltran vs Cruz there's.not even a question imo. I've said all along I feel like Cruz might be contingency plan c or d.

And new England wins on a dumb ass play by the Broncos.
