ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 3, 2013 -> 11:58 AM) I agree. It definitely appears to be an anti-Moneyball move. Which is funny because baseball writers were filling my twitter feed with "Billy Beane does it again!!" and "No one had a better Monday than Billy Beane, he continues to find these deals". I'm not sure how spending $33M on Kazmir and Jim Johnson is anything like a typical Billy Beane move in any capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa1334 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 3, 2013 -> 10:46 AM) Nathan to Detroit. Sort of explains the Fister deal. The more free agents off the board before the Winter Meetings, the more exciting they will be. i was hoping theyd get wilson instead because nathan is legit and wilson does carry some concern. oh well.

I bet Choice is part of package that will be used to acquire David Price. Just a hunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get what the A's are thinking there, Choice seems like a big haul alone for Gentry. I was really hoping the Sox could swing something for him when they traded Peavy.

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Are the winter meetings secretly this week and the GMs are all going on Space Mountain next week instead? Lots of activity last few days. I sure hope the winter meetings arent as boring as they were last year.

It's a little frustrating seeing other teams get stuff done, no doubt. But we'll see what happens during the Winter Meetings. It's more exciting when it happens there anyway. It gets more attention.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 3, 2013 -> 01:50 PM) Wow, I am not obsessed with Holmberg like everyone else around here but if the Reds made the trade 1-for-1 (Hannigan-for-Holmberg) you have to think that is good value for the catcher. It seems as if Arizona isn't receiving any players back either. They must really be hurting for $$. I would imagine it's Hanigan to TB with the reported new deal. Holmberg to Cincinnati. Heath Bell to TB with Cincinnati picking up the tab. Is that enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
