2014 Offseason Plans Thread

I think that its unfair to keep them in japan if they truly want to expand their boundaries and view their potential. Even if Darvish came out and said I'd like to go to japan right now, although I'd be very pissed off, who are we to deny him going home? I know he has a contract with us, but their should be some type of clause or something that gets the team money back if the player decides to do something like that.

Here's a good example of my proposal. EVeryone knows what ebay is right? Well, now these websites that force you to pay 10 cents for each bid are becoming popular. The items are selling at like a 90 percent discount, but the seller ends up getting more money because of all the bids. A flat screen tv will sell forl like 10 bucks, but the seller makes a profit. Hope that made sense lol

Makes zero sense, because this is the best league in the world. You knew the risk before coming over here. It's not like we drafted him and he was stuck.

no I'm not saying he will obviously. I'm just saying if he wanted to make that decision then he should be able to

Heard from my source that Cruz doesn't want to go to seattle at all. Don't know the validity of this, but their offer would have to kill ours.

That Mariner GM is really trying to save his but by buying a good team. Now we may get into a bidding war for Cruz.

No we sign him if that happens. I hope choo signs soon

I mean unless if choo comes here we won't have to worry about that lpl

An unnamed AL west team made an offer to LHP Matt Thornton.

If he turned down 5/70+ then that makes sense.

I really think he is. And after that damning article written up about the FO, there's heat to perform. They can't keep a coach.

Oh I forgot about this. Looks like you guys already knew then haha

Link?

Link?

ChrisCotillo: Unidentified AL West team made LHP Matt Thornton an offer today.

Probably from his twitter.

Anyone remember that obnoxious troll Respect Oakland Baseball? I went to the general discussions for a minute and he's moved over here and still at it.

Source tells me some very big plans could be in store. The stars would have to align for this, but the best case scenario is to sign choo AND cruz. Then trade moreland and prospects for a starting pitcher.

JD has indicated that is what he has been trying to do, which shows me that perhaps he thinks choo WILL sign here. I don't know where the money will come from, but we got it.

So... Benoit has a 14 million for 2 year offer on the table any guesses on who it is?

 

[terpsfball09]

In other words, the signing of choo does not take us out for cruz.

Sounds like he really wants to be a ranger. Wonder how close that is to happening.

So cruz would DH if that happened?
