[8manpick]

Hoch's days as a starter are over

[sunny_cat]

Torii was .286 with 17 HRs and 83 RBIs. 

OBP not near as good as Aoki tho.

Significant drop from 13 to 14.  Expect an even bigger drop from 14 to 15.

I think a big part of the Hunter discussion is that he's a righty. Any other signable rightys?

Meh. Better numbers than 11.

Hoch's days as a starter are over

good thing not one person is suggesting otherwise.

also good thing Hoch's days as a super stud reliever are just beginning

Pete asked what the plan was, _FAN didn't know...

[Cartierfor3]

Guys we're not signing scherzer. And as far as plans for Hoch go, have we heard that they're even planning on offering him a contract?

Yes on Scherzer. Do you think we'll try to sign a top 3 level starter? I'd be comfortable with a guy that level to go with what we already have. Plus at least one more bat, preferably a righty.

I'm LBBIQ, does that sound okay?

i thought that meant, put him in the bullpen or release/trade him

I think that's what they'll try to do. I heard Jason Stark say today they might go talk to Ervin Santana. We'll need Ventura and Duffy to both get closer to 200 IP, for that plan to work though.

this is ideal. i would very happily take hunter for a two year deal or something and another vargas.

Will Kyle Zimmer ever make it to the Big Leagues.  Just saw he had surgery again.

One of these years Torii Hunter is going to turn into 2014 Raul Ibanez, we don't want to be the team that's holding the bag when he does. Also, no way he hits 15+ HRs at Kaufman, so you might as well just sign Nori if you're thinking of signing Torri.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Get Melky. Get Scherzer. Win the World Series. Sell the team. Profit. Do it Glass.


I guess I would be okay with Hunter if he's super cheap and his role is basically the old ass man on the bench, just like Ibanez in 2014.

Yes to all of this.

Guys, let's just sign all the FA's, we'll be unbeatable

I think we should just sign 2 or so. If we replace the players we lose with better players, this team should be really good.

I think a Scherzer/Ventura/Duffy/Guthrie/Vargas rotation with FHDH in the pen would make us one of the favorites for the WS.

We would win over 100 games with that rotation.
