2014 Offseason Plans Thread

LA said they'd eat some of the cost. It's 20 mil a year as it is, very friendly for his performance... We still have some money to blow. Either get Kemp, or get tanaka is all im sayin

If we get kemp, we still have to worry about someone who can lead off or hope for the best with Leonys. But we try for Choo first, then Kemp. What do you think, Terps.

It was like 106 in 2012...oooh big deal.

and he hit over .300.... its been a year and a half.... big deal

i think we just go with what we have now at leadoff. EA or martin. That lineup is an absolute monster.

Martin
EA
Prince
Beltre
Kemp
Moreland
Rios
Soto
Profar

Only reason I switched mitch and Rios were to prevent 3 righties in a row. But either way

Half a year and he got paid 20 million. That's great value...

I still take kemp

So no Cruz.

To me if it came to it. I rather take potential over less risk and less talent

Ya and harrison missed the entire season. I don't see your point. Kemp is healthy and he has been for awhile. He was even healthy for the postseason but LA wanted to go with what they had.

And that wouldn't make a very prudent GM. Texas already took a big gamble with Fielder for kinsler. You don't go trading for two guys who are owed 100mm. Do you really wanna be the angels? I sure a fuck do not.

Bullshit. If he's healthy his ass is on the field.

If LA was willing to eat some of the salary like they said they would do, then I'd do it in a heart beat. Ya its a risk, but I don't want a 30 year old DH.

Why? That's the age guys DH.

 

[Broseidon]

I still hope Morse is the opening day DH. He seems like the perfect candidate to sign a 1 year deal in hopes of a bounce back year.

 

[lainey12]

Look at this lineup if we trade for Kemp.

CF Leonys Martin
SS Elvis Andrus
LF Matt Kemp
1B Prince Fielder
3B Adrian Beltre
RF Alex Rios
DH Mitch Moreland or Michael Choice
C Geovany Soto or J.P.Arenibia
2B Jurickson Profar

That team would be a ok with me

With a healthy Kemp sure. No one has seen him play since these surgeries. It's never been JD's style to trade prospects, take on a high salary/high risk player. I can't think of one

Beyond that, if they are truly sticking with staying under last year's payroll...then we maybe have 10 mill left, if that.

We won't be the angels. I just don't see the hate for kemp. Hes a 4-7 WAR player. He put up 8.4 not to long ago

 

[terpsfball09]

Why? That's the age guys DH.

Like I said, I think DH's should be older guys who are shorter term and cheap. I dont think they should be average aged guys who just suck so bad at everything else that they DH

I still hope he isn't. Morse plays less than Kemp.

They aren't staying with with last years payroll. If that were the case then they won't ad anyone else that's impactful

No way do I want the right handed Mitch Moreland as the opening day DH.
