Another sad year for the Phillies.. I wonder when Amaro will be gone and we can get this show back on the road.

Phillies are where the mets were in 2010. Gonna be 4 to 5 rebuilding years but imo that's a fun time to watch.

Mets Sp Degrom Roty! Harvey back nxt year. Brewers blew it, trade Braun for pitching

we couldnt snag a #3 sp for brauny. I'm expecting we buy pitching, Ricky Weeks A-ram and Gallardo are gone, so we should have about 40 mil, depending on if we pay k-rod to stay (which we should)

He is now the 10th best closer of all time.

Damn. Mets have 3 of the top 5 roty candidates. DeGrom Familia and D'arnaud . You can have onr of them for luccroy

Honestly i'm betting Luc and Davis are on the block possibly this year. I'm hopeful Luc moves to 1b (Maldanatto is substantially better behind the plate) and we buy a 3rd basemen.

My money though is on a starting lefty, or we keep K-rod and Will Smith moves to the rotation. Either way, 40-50 mil to spend this offseason after we unload Gallardo Aram and that piece of shit Ricky Weeks. I'd give you Luc for Harvey easily, but why do you need another awesome catcher?

 

[Aids Johnson]

Also mets can just buy K-rod, it's another contract year and he's a Boras client, we aren't paying him 15+ mil.

 

[Danielson]

Mets dont spend money anymore. Maybe 20th in payroll max

 

[Danielson]

And they have mejia and familia under 23. They are set for years in pitching with more to come

Our owner has talked about spending more money this season, hello 120 mil payroll (12 mil upgrade) would make me happy.

I do wonder what the chances are we end up back trying to snag Fielder as I know he isn't terribly wanted where he is and it would instantly put a ton of asses in our seats.

Trade Braun to Yankees for their entire farm + 10 million. Id shop Braun to them or Texas. One of those goober teams

We dont need him but lucroy is the best in the NL. Molina old and Posey is a puss

Honestly i'm almost positive i'm the only brewer fan who wouldnt give him away for a sack of balls. If we don't shop Davis and can keep him for 5 years cheap, i'd be down to shop braun for a SP or even a decent prospect. His contract is extremely team friendly (11 mil this year i think) and he's alright enough to keep. I don't mind a .300 hitter minus his roid power tbh. I'm expecting we don't get Gogo to stay this year and he gets traded in July.

2015 will be an interesting year for the Crew, i'm pretty excited to see what happens here in the next few months. Hoping we get a new Pitching coach at the very least and one SP....the 1b market is dogshit and i dont want Dunn.
