Brass Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Rotoworld has the Red Sox not connected to Carl Crawford, but rather them looking for a "complementary" outfielder. Apparently, they're interested in trading for Josh Willingham or signing Magglio Ordonez. I'd be good with either deal. On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc?

BBTV Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Unless Lee learns how to bat right handed and can protect Howard in the lineup, it wouldn't really make that much of a difference.

BBTV Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 What I heard on MLB network last night was that they were planning on blowing him away with an absurd offer, but realized that he was only going to sign with a contender, so they used some (well, most) of that money on Werth. My god how the NL East will look if they do get Lee to join them. The Phillies home games in DC will be a lot more interesting.

Jigga Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Where in the World are the Nats getting this kind of money?The Lerners are absolutely filthy stinking rich. IIRC, they are among the top 5 (maybe even top 3) richest owners in baseball. I think I remember hearing that when they took over.

I mean, who doesn't take something like 6 years, 230 million? And he could make them a contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 The Rangers are listening to offers for Michael Young. The Rockies are reported to be interested. As a result of this interest, Adrian Beltre could be the Rangers solution at 3B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1990hornet Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 The worst part of the Pena deal for me as Rays fan is that we lose that Golden Glove of Pena's. And it's like salt going in to the wounds that I'm reading the Cubs fans complain. "I wish we had gotten Berkman!" SCREW YOU! You guys got one of the best defensive first basemen out there and you're complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm reading now nothing is going to happen, but if the Rangers could have a chance at getting out of that contract, they should.

Maybe I'm the minority, but I think based on his glove work alone he's worth every cent of that $10 mil. And I'm perfectly happy being in the minority on that.

The_Admiral Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 You don't pay ten million dollars (five of which are deferred to next year, which will be dead payroll space for 2012) for "glove work alone" at first base. You need hitting out of that position, especially in the National League where we don't have the luxury of a bonus hitter. If you can get a good glove at the position with the lowest fielding responsibility, that's gravy, but you need hitting there. This guy hits below the Mendoza line and he'll be 33 years old in May. Bad signing. Terrible signing, even. If you don't like Cubs fans being dissatisfied with a sub-Mendozan first baseman, kiss my ass. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
