2014 Offseason Plans Thread

[ESPN Refugee]

So I kinda figured it out....jeez what a whip. Why does it seem so complicated and so much work? Does Twitter do this on purpose?

 

[Broseidon]

I just wanted to bring up players nobody mentions, and Headley fit the bill. Wasn't suggesting he be plan A, but I like Headley more than Kemp as realistic options.

I'd want you before Kemp in our OF.

You reached out to find someone no one else thought about, that's for sure. But for a guy who isn't a natural LF, has shown little bat consistency in his career, and is a FA after next season, I'm giving up nothing for this guy.

Id hope quite a few games at 3B to save Beltre's legs, but he could conceivably play LF.

Like Billy Butler could conceivably play LF, which is not at all.

My argument was, why would you bring up war when he wont even be playing 3rd for us. His WAR stats are irrelevant because of that fact. He isn't great offensively, but he's above average. Not good enough to where I went to shell out good prospects to have ONE YEAR of him

 

[terpsfball09]

Okay, so enough of headley, for now. I heard that a member of the Ranger front office was approached by a member of the Dodger's front office. So hear me out here, this is the rumor from my friend. It may be true, it may not be true. Here it goes.

The dodgers, rays, and rangers are either looking at a 3 team trade or a wheel and deal trade. One that would send david price to the dodgers, matt kemp to the rangers, and prospects to the rays and dodgers. They also may be workin on a wheel and deal trade that would send price to the dodgers for prospects and immediately after send kemp to texas for prospects. It's in preliminary talks. If you remember from last year, this is what the upton thing was like, so dont get excited (or unexcited) yet.

Remember, that is a RUMOR.

It's too vague to have a reaction.

I didn't mention WAR. I think advanced metrics are for the birds

Well the Cards are a good franchise, so they obviously are working....

that's ugly....surely the rangers woundn't

 

[ESPN Refugee]

Well shit I finally figured this out.

 

[terpsfball09]

Ya I don't know any specifics on it yet. JD is keeping the kemp thing very close to the chest. I only know when they talk and the basics about what is said. If I know anymore I'll let you guys know. But in the proposal, Kemp and $$$ would head over here.

To give clout to the Rays/Dodgers thing............ this just in from Newberg's COFFEY

According to Bruce Levine (670 The Score/Chicago), the Rays and Dodgers “may be matching up on David Price.” However, one executive from a club believed to be in heavily on Price tells Joel Sherman (New York Post) that the Rays “haven’t pushed hard yet” and he wouldn’t be surprised if Price is still with Tampa Bay when the season starts.

 

[terpsfball09]

Ya that seems to go with what I heard. The rangers weren't approached by the rays, they were approached by the dodgers about it. Probably one of those things where they say "hey if this happens what do you think?" because they are much more excited about it then tampa. Losing their ace pitcher and gaining a ton of prospects will be tough on an already horrible fanbase
