HeyAbbott Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 20 hours ago, 1984Echoes said: Prefer this plan over the Correa plan. I don't think we need an OF'er just yet though. I'd rather save that for the trade deadline to see whether it's worth it or not to chase another bat. And I'd rather give internal options enough run to start the season to see whether they sink or swim. I'm good with another starter and reliever though. Always liked McHugh. And I think Grienke would be as valuable off the field as on. IMO. This is solid advice. We need to find 2 arms, a SP and a LH reliever. Maybe both guys are already in camp. I kind of doubt that. As for the OF'er , come the trade dealine there might be better options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way he'll come north with the same stats as last spring...1 for 27 with 16 strikeouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And man, Mike Laga was hitting some rockets in batting practice. Did you hear the news about the guys that got stuck out on an ice flow in Lake Erie and had to be rescued at tax payers' expense? I just saw a story about a senior class that got stranded at the airport because their travel agent gave them phony vouchers for Spring Break and ran off with their money. Also, that Bridal shop in (insert city here) suddenly closed and several brides who made expensive deposits won't have their dresses in time for their wedding. And my friend Scott is bitching about how tired he is and how stupid Daylight Savings time is (TAKE A NAP, DAMMIT). SPRING IS HERE, BABY ! (What, you usin' my 'babies' now?)

I thought Laga, Wilson and Johnson were going to be great and they were going to complete the dream line-up. Johnson was pretty great for a while, but it was with the Mets.

Tenacious D Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 We should move Haase to the Yanks. He’s going to get squeezed as soon as Rogers is healthy and Dingler is ready. His trade value might never be higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankees could get lucky and get 2 more good years out of Donaldson, in which this trade will be good for them, but more likely Donaldson's bat will fall off the table sooner than that.

casimir Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Hmmmm...... And it sounds like Correa and the Astros aren't necessarily done with each other. I kind of wonder if they might agree upon a one year deal and then Correa can revisit FA next offseason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
