2014 Offseason Plans Thread

Do we ever win a bidding war? We can't even offer more money and get them
lol

SUCKS DONT IT

I'd rather give Choice a shot than foolishly throw money and prospects at an oft injured Kemp

That may end up happening

Pretty much my stance, although I'd rather throw foolish money at Choo. The time to win is now and Choo is a tailor made fit

And foolishly throw prospects at TB for Price

You might now, but I doubt you would as the season goes on. There's no way to predict what either will do, but I know what Kemp is capable of. It could be Either as well.


What happens if Choice doesn't play well enough in ST to get the nod? You ready to roll Adduci or Beltre out there again? I'm not.

You rather have him over a proven guy that has done it before?

All Kemp has proven in recent years is he makes a lot of money to be injured a lot

 

[Bmurph]

Napoli took less money to stay in Boston. I hope the big offer he turned down wasn't Texas. If so, then I will sour on him quickly.

It's all but been said on reports and it was said earlier in the day it was getting "critical" that Boston make an offer or he was on the verge of signing and then it came out Texas had offered more $

I'm ok with Choo, he actually makes sense and minus one season he's been durable and his game is reliant on his legs

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I loathe the idea of Kemp, when he's playing he's a good ball player but he's off the field more than on it and you would be taking a huge risk taking him on and giving up a package of big league chew

He played in only 73 games last year and 106 the year before but played the 4 seasons before that. It is a tough call because if he is healthy then you have got you a player.

well, it sucks that Cano is now in our division, and we lost out on two decent short term options with Nap and Beltran

I'm always about playing for the future with a little bit of right now

Choo is a little bit of right now, Choice might be the future

Kemp is just a foolish gamble that makes no sense in the short term or long

 

[lainey12]

Also Seattle and Cincy.

Seattle wouldn't surprise me either

He has a certain 'I got paid, so f it' vibe

He's been hurt the last 2 years, but has also been at MVP level. I'm not a huge fan of a Kemp trade, bu I like it better than starting Choice. I just think this might be where JD is headed. I would rather not go into next season with Choice as the LF. Especially with Mitch at DH. That line-up is full of a lot of unproven kids.

How many LHH do they need!?

We have been playing for the future the last 2 years

 

[RevSader]

Annoyed after today. Do more shit.

 

[Bmurph]

I don't know, I like the player and the person. What he did for the boy in San Francisco last year was noble as hell. It is just way to big of a risk to give up players for the unknown of whether he stays on the field after all the surgeries over the past couple years

 

[lainey12]

Napoli took less money to stay in Boston. I hope the big offer he turned down wasn't Texas. If so, then I will sour on him quickly.

yes, we offered more money

 

[Justinkm83]

Matt Kemp's agent thinks trade could come - Boston Red Sox Blog - ESPN Boston


We aren't the only team that thinks he could bounce back.
