I suppose we're different kinds of fans. I view the post-season as a crap shoot and derive more satisfaction from regular season success. I enjoy the intensity of post-season action but to me the regular season provides a better and more meaningful measure of a team's quality.
But hey vive la difference as the les francais would put it. I enjoy reading your recommendations of Ellsbury and Sizemore for center.
You don't get a ring for regular season wins. To each his own though.
You asked me for a realistic option for center field and I gave you Sizemore.
Back to MLB off season news. Tigers ink Joe Nathan.
Exactly where would he play, 2B?
Sorry, BJ isnt going anywhere regardless of what any of us think nor is he gonna sit on the bench all year.
BoSox sign Mujica, 2 years/9.5 mil total, i would of done that if i was FW but oh well.
We are loaded from the right side. But we could use a lefty for the pen.
Loaded, hardly.
Kimbrel, Walden, Carpenter (who is due to regress) isnt loaded.
Can never have enough bullpen arms.
I'm including personnel who have had success in the upper minors.
Kimbrel, Walden, Carpenter, Gearrin, Varvaro, Hale, Martin, Northcraft, Schlosser, Graham, Vasquez, Obispo, Lamm, Jaime, Harper.
The list of lefties is much shorter.
Avilan, Buchter, Thomas, Gilmartin.
That's it. Venters can be added but he won't be ready for a couple months.
That's why I was saying a lefty for the pen is a higher priority.

O'Flaherty's market has been quiet. Maybe that is our move.
Ivermectin Man
Would have looks a whole lot better on the bench than Shafer and since we dont have a quality 4th OFer Im sure Fredi could find time for him.
I think we have a decent group of backup outfielders: Schafer, Terdoslavich, Cunningham, Constanza.
KC traded a good P whose under control for awhile, i doubt we could offer anything better.
I like our bench options for the most part though.
Last time I looked we have a pretty good load of pitchers and pitching prospects. Varvaro isnt that far from Smith only from the other side. And if you like our bench options I need to find a way to bookmark this until sometime next summer as a reminder of what you are possessing about here in December. Last I looked we dont have a bench.
Will Smith was really good last season. 11.6 K/9, 1.9 BB/9, 2.50 xFIP
Those are scrumptious numbers.
Between Pena, Laird, Schafer, Terdo, there are options for the bench.
As ncaspi said, Will Smith posted reallly good numbers, left handed RP options are extremely valuable.
mccann picked #34 because of EOF...... courting him to the yanks maybe?
Mariners willing to pay Cano, 10 years, 230-240 million..
Per MLBTR.
Reports state Mariners have informed Cano's camp that they are willing to spend as much as $230-240M over 10 years for Cano.
My word.
Hasnt been much of a market for EOF, but possible i suppose.
The Nats are interested in EOF please don't go there lol
