Sabean's been in NY at the Mets series. So maybe Murphy.

I hope not. Murphy has a bad glove, and so far this year he has a .602 OPS, almost as bad as McGehee.

Plus because of our perceived desperation, it would almost certainly be an overpay.

The mets need a back up catcher, so Hacktor would certainly be part of the deal. Also, I don't believe Sabean would over pay. He would walk away before overpaying. But Murphys bad start should drop his value anyway.

I am not convinced Murphy will get done, though. I think Ramirez is a more likely deal, with the Crew in self destruction mode now.

Agreed. Ramirez would make much more sense. But I don't like his glove either.

If we are to make a move, we need to cherry-pick from the cellar-dwellers.

Adrian Beltre, anyone?

I like Beltre. But will Texas part with him?

 

[calsnowskier]

If Sabes/Evans go after Beltran, I will trust them, but his contract goes through next year while Ramirez is a FA after this year. Not sure I want to be on the hook for 34M to Beltre. Good idea though. He was a stud last season, so maybe his rough start is just a slump.

 

[calsnowskier]

16M this year, 18 M next.

He is available.

 

[calsnowskier]

Feel sorry for me, guys.

I have to watch the Padres feed.

 

[calsnowskier]

That looks like that is on Belt, not sHits...

Wasn't a great throw, by any stretch, but Belt is in there for his D (God knows he isn't hitting). He needs to pick that.

 

[Mays-Fan]

I like Beltre. But will Texas part with him?

Texas is 8-16, and Yu Darvish underwent TJS in March, and is out certainly all of 2015, and likely much of 2016. They are going nowhere.

Beltre makes $16mm this year, and $18mm in 2016, and is a FA after that. They just might want to shed his salary. But can we afford him?

Plus, I doubt we have the prospects for someone of his caliber. Unless you're talking Heston and Susac.

I had to watch the Angels feed the last 3 games. Not a whole lot of baseball smarts in that booth.

Kick was just DFA'd by Seattle...
