Can't help myself but watching Zombieland for about the umpteenth time.

Earlier today, Rosenthal reported that Napoli had received an offer another club but his preference was to remain in Boston. The Marlins, Rangers, and Mariners were all rumored to be interested in Napoli's services, and Texas was believed to have made Napoli a larger offer, Bradford and Alex Speier report, but Napoli preferred to remain with the Sox and accepted their smaller deal.

Beltran or Hart would be nice. I think Hart will go back to MIL. I really doubt we sign one of the big FA's. I'm still thinking we will trade for Kemp.
I want Beltran

I really hope we don't get Kemp. I want Choo and Texas to take a chance on Morse

I am willing to bet my bottom dollar this will happen Justin. Sure JD and LAD will pick up this topic first thing winter meetings. It may not necessarily be Kemp, it could be Ethier. I just have this since and they have already had talks. Where's Terps.

Gordon Edes@GordonEdes [ame="[MEDIA=twitter]409145580330299392[/MEDIA]"]1m[/ame] Napoli comes to terms on 2 years, $32 million, source says. No option year. Left money on the table, source says. Texas came hard

Richard Durrett@espn_durrett [ame="[MEDIA=twitter]409145191212134401[/MEDIA]"]10m[/ame] Source says #Rangers made serious push for @MikeNapoli25 and were in it until the end. He stays in Boston for $32 mil over 2 years.

Choo is the next most expensive mistake to be made. I just don't see JD making it. Our line-up is poor so I don't really care if he does overpay. I'm not in the least bit interested in Morse.

Why do you not want Kemp? You can't say injuries because Morse has played even less games. He's only played more than 103 games once. He's only played more than 98 twice

Ethier has 4/71 left. Kemp has 6/128. Considering Texas would be taking on substantial salary and have to send prospects to LAD....I'd rather just money whip Choo at 6/100.

I wouldn't want Ethier. LAD would pick up quite a bit of Kemp's salary, and Choo is going to get more than 6/100

Still can't believe Cano will get $24 mill when he s 40. Right up there with Pujols.

I take that back. I just looked at Ethier's numbers. I didn't realize he gets on base that much. He wouldn't be a bad fall back option since his remaining contract is cheaper than the FA's will be.

Yeah, I think if we could get Choo at 6/100 it would already be a done deal. It's gonna be more like 7/140 isn't it?

Morse is gonna sign a 1 year deal, maybe 2 w option, and try to restore the damage Safeco did to him last year. Way cheaper, wouldn't cost any prospects. And if he does get injured or tanks the risk is minimal.


Would you sign Kemp to a 6/120 deal if he was a FA? Bc Texas would essentially be trading very good prospects to do that. I know the reward is potentially greater w Kemp, but it's a massive risk.

You're probably right in this messed up crazy world of free agency we live in.

There is a risk involved with Morse. If he sucks like he has pretty much his whole career than we are in the same spot we were in with Berkman. We would again be trying to fill a DH spot with guys that aren't good hitters.


I think we would end up getting Kemp for under 100. You could get Hart for pretty cheap because he missed all of last year.
