2014 Offseason Plans Thread

Is the season getting close? I'm having Oct withdrawals,


they typically pass by Nov

Excuse me, OUR season

I went to the Niagara falls when I went to Toronto. It was the first day of spring and it was 25 degrees outside. I was frozen to my core, but I've never seen anything more beautiful.

Montreal was amazing fun!

Jealous

Leyland is done, don't know if a contract wasn't offered, he's retiring, or both (probably both)

Didn't see that coming. I wonder why he stepped down. Wash might be the only dugout smoker now.

He told Dombrowski before the post season that he was going to retire. They knew about it, but didn't say anything out of respect for him I gather.

Oh ok thanks. I missed that, although I haven't been really watching the games either, just fast forwarding through them. This year just pissed me off.

I don't think you're alone

That makes sense

Same here. Just can't get fired up. Ranger at heart! Nothing else works. Narrow horizons I guess.

Turned 60 last Saturday. It gets harder and harder to remember yesterday let alone 30.

I'm 66. I remember everything.

Pitchers and catchers report in 116 and a wake up.

116? That's good to know. 5 days after the world series I'm leaving it on MLBTradeRumors.com for all the offseason action. JD will make it interesting. Hang in there, Lainey.

Billy Butler could be an option at DH. The Royals are ready to listen to offers. I've always liked his bat, but he's just so damn slow. Could be a back-up plan though. I'd rather re-sign Nelly or Morales, without having to give up anyone.

we need someone that can play at least one position so Cruz or Morales makes more sense

Billy Butler would be a better DH than we've had, but he has zero value outside of DH, so I don't know how much value you would want to give up for him. So I agree with your assessment on Morales and Nelly. Butler is a joke in the field.

No Mavs, no Stars, no baseball, and no football. I hate these dead nights

Giants just paid Lincecum 2 year/35 million with a full no trade clause. Do they realize he hasn't pitched well in 2 years?

That makes no sense to me.

I watch loads of shows. Sons of Anarchy is on tonight, so I will have entertainment.

Just read that. Worth the risk but not for that kind of money. Still young-ish I think.

Was hoping that Martin Perez would have made the Rookie All Star team.
