The 2017 All-Unemployed MLB Team

yeah, I'll pass on Wood as a starter.

 

[navamind]

Kind of shocked Blanton hasn't been picked up. I thought he was smoke and mirrors as a reliever in KC but he looked pretty solid in LA as well.

Agreed. He's quietly been an effective reliever.

 

[calsnowskier]

I think the issue with Wood is that he wants to start, no? If he were open to a bullpen role he'd have been off the market a long time ago.

He should go to a team like San Diego on a 1-year deal to establish himself as a starter. The team has a craptastic rotation and a pitcher-friendly park.

Bite the bullet and establish your market...

You gotta think someone can use Napoli as a DH/1B

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Moss is off the board to the Royals at 2/12. They have their DH combo it looks like between Moss and Cuthbert.

 

[redseat]

Moss was just signed, no?

Napoli I thought resigned with the Indians

Moss to the Royals



pretty solid off season

No, the Tribe has not resigned him.

 

[redseat]

No, the Tribe has not resigned him.

So thought I heard he was. My bad

Scratch another one of the board....

Lefty reliever Boone Logan signs with the Indians

The Cleveland Indians on Thursday agreed to a contract with left-handed reliever Boone Logan, sources told ESPN, confirming multiple reports.

Logan, 32, was 2-5 with a 3.69 ERA in 66 appearances for the Colorado Rockies last season. He held left-handed batters to a .142 batting average.

Logan joins a strong Cleveland bullpen that features closer Cody Allen and star setup man Andrew Miller.

He's a DH now. He was an awful fielder, his defense was a big reason the Indians lost game 7.

Not bad, I would've preferred Blevins for the money involved.

Plus pretty sure Blevins is a local kid.

Jason Hammel went to the Royals during the chaos that was the 4th quarter of SB LI

Best off season ever for any GM under strict orders to not increase payroll.

Extend my guy Moustakas and I'll be on board. Certainly not quite the debacle I was initially anticipating all things considered. Ventura dying puts shit in the potato salad of the offseason.

 

[black francis]

You're living in 2010

So I have two WS appearances to look forward to?

Fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!

Read somewhere that Hosmer will be the one who stays

God, I don't know what these FO types see in him at this point. Too much scout and not enough evaluator- can't hit dingers off of groundballs.

and his defense is pretty overrated. his range isn't good.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

and his defense is pretty overrated. his range isn't good.

Yep. He's great at the stationary skills such as scoops but his range only goes one direction (IMO) and it's not where the ball is going to be.
