Y2Jimmy0 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I thought that Carlos Gonzalez and Todd Frazier were both guys that wouldn't cost Anderson/Fulmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 QUOTE (scs787 @ Dec 14, 2015 -> 11:03 PM) Blackmon scares me. Guy had a .695 OPS away from Coors last year and in his all star 2014 he hit .617 away from Coors. i am always very apprehensive on hitter from col.

Kyyle23 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 14, 2015 -> 04:44 PM) Pick up Chris Carter for nothing. He'll hit 25ish. Let him DH Sure he'll K a lot, but so will the elite, the greatest, Todd Frazier. Meawhile, we can get another year of development from Sanchez, Thompson and whoever our SS is. I'm not interested in any of these guys who will require our 2nd tier prospects either. You can add Todd Frazier or whomever, and this is a 80-84 win team on paper....less if the OF defense stays the same as it is. Refsnyder can't play defense. find someone who comes real cheap like Lawrie or Carter. Lmao, this is so much garbage. Chris Carter has a career slashline of .217/.312/.452, and last year he hit .199 with 151 strikeouts in 460 ABs following 182 and 212(!!!!!) strikeouts. Frazier has never struck out more than 139 times in a season and his slash line is .257/.321/.463 and plays a position competently, unlike Carter who is a DH that is a dinosaur in the modern major leagues(3 outcome) Your dream team would suck so hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qmoe1020 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 14, 2015 -> 05:50 PM) Blackmon had a hell of a season last year. Not sure he will come as cheaply as some of you might think... Blackmon steals bags and, more importantly, runs the bases well, something the Sox don't do. I'm on board for a package around Montas.

Not sure he will come as cheaply as some of you might think... A SP who is a top 50 prospect in all of baseball that has done nothing but pitch great + An OF with all the tools in world who just tore up the AFL + a 22 year old with a 95+ mph fastball At least that's how I'd spin it to Colorado...Not saying it would definitely get it done but I'd say it would be pretty damn close. Montas is nothing to scoff at as trade chip for a lot of players in this league imo. Did you just see what Ken Giles was traded for? Montas has a lot more value then people want to admit. Maybe it would take a slightly better 3rd prospect than Leyer, but no one substantial. At least all in my opinion. We're all just guessing here right?

"Contract extension for Adrian Beltre is 'important' to Texas Rangers" http://sportsday.dallasnews.com/texas-rang...t-texas-rangers http://www.mlbtraderumors.com Would love have to him if the Rangers decided to go with Gallo at third but it doesn't sound like that's what they'll do at this point.

GREEDY Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) Would the Rockies deal Reyes & Cargo for LaRoche & any one player not on the active roster, not named Anderson or Fulmer? Any two players? Reyes remaining $ is 2/46 (includes 4mil buyout in 18) Gonzalez remaining $ is 2/37. Both would have a strong chance to bring back a compensation assuming they walk after '17. While hard to gauge, Gonzalez on the open market at age 30 would likely sign a two year deal greater than 37mil and if you take LaRoche's money off Reyes' deal I think (2/33) is close to what he might fetch for 2 years. It is an interesting deal for me because COL is one of the only places that seemingly has room for LaRoche (not sure this matters) and while no one is overly bullish on Reyes right at this moment, I think one could realistically expect him to be around 5 wins better than anyone on the Sox current roster at SS over the next two years.
