2014 Offseason Plans Thread

Dbacks in on Choo..... Dbacks GM said Choo lives in AZ in offseason. Might want to start talking to Cruz JD

 

[Bmurph]

Guess maybe thats the unknown team? CBS had reported it was between the Rangers and an unknown team

 

[DT LUNA]

Out of the 3 who do you want?

Choo

Choo

You mean I had to chose one of them. Dang it. Probably Kemp.

Well, beyond the Rangers and Dbacks, he now says that there are "other clubs likely in the mix as well."

In other words, he has no fucking clue.

At what point do you think Kemp can start producing given his health conditions and who will be our dependable lead off guy. That's why I like Choo.

Nailed it

 

[The Commish]

That is certainly possible.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I doubt it. If this is true he really wants to be a Ranger. I assume the offer would still be on the table, and he will end up there. No way we get anywhere close to years or money

That was actually my first thought, that he really wants to be a Ranger.

Haha

Rangers, Diamondbacks vying for Shin-Soo Choo at the moment - CBSSports.com

If you believe all this stuff they are throwing out. Damn I hate that mystery team BS

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I wouldn't really call Mitch clutch or not clutch based off the results of 92AB with runners in scoring position. Ian was one of our best players in that situation last season, yet in 2012 he was one of our worst.

That is you I would call Mitch not clutch until proven otherwise.

Good quality reasons there. I just like the difference maker Kemp could be. Its a risk but hey it ain't my money. Kemp's presence alone would improve the lineup just as Hamilton's did in 2010 & 2011. With Choo we may still need another bat.

To each his own I guess, but I don't believe in players being clutch to begin with. There are clutch moments, but no clutch players.

Roy Halladay signs a one day contract to retire a Toronto Blue Jay, disregard if I'm late on this report as I saw something earlier at the gym but couldn't hear what was said

I like Choo but he's going to cost too much, and he wouldn't be enough. We still need a DH that fills the #5 hole.

Still need two bats but I would consider us fortunate to get 1 vs what we could end up with

Yeah, I just hate the idea of our line-up being so poor that Rios is protecting Beltre.

Kemp or Cruz will not give us a lead off and Choo will require another bat. Seem that none of the three will suffice alone. We need two more bats.
