MLB Offseason

[gldendog]

Jeremy Hellickson traded to Phillies for a bag of dicks. Intel says AZ was looking to shed his 7M salary. Real question is, what happened to this guy? Was really good his first 2 years with the Rays as a massive prospect coming out. Regressed alot the last 2 yrs. Not terrible. But not great. Mediocre. As a #4-5 guy maybe he can rediscover his old form. Nola, Eickhoff, Jake Thompson probably breaks into the rotation at some point next season. Hellickson backend guy. Will probably draft a pitcher with the #1 overall pick. I guess Adam Morgan is the other starter unless they bring in a veteran.

Puig to the Mets?

Love how the thread topic is MLB off season yet entire post save for 3 words at end are all about the CoP. Don't change, CoPers.

Its endearing how they're actually fans of only their teams rather attempting to be know it all blowhards on all 30 franchises. They stick to what they know.

nardibynature over here.

Actually thought obriend1 posted this one.

Bump for the non-CoPers.

 

[tomdudes]

So if I post in this thread about the Dodgers re-signing Chaz Utley, is that a CoP act or not?

 

[NickleDimer]

Wouldn't be surprised if Chaz hits .028 in spring training and retires to get a much needed knee replacement.

Tigers get club control over Zimmermann....any reason to get excited? Probably another Detroit overpay?

I can't believe how much money Greinke got for a guy his age. Texas made a really smart move trading for Hamels. His contract is going to look like a bargain in a year or two.

Liking the Niese for Walker trade. Mets get the 2B they need and have the money to spend on keeping Colon if they want. Now I want to see them get a decent utility guy to fill-in at 3rd and OF as needed.

Jed Gyorko (SD) to Cards for John Jay and some cash

 

[nardibynature123]

Yanks trade Warren for Castro and getting rid of Brendan Ryan.

Don't know too much about Castro, but he seems like a headcase who will suck in NY.

 

[NickleDimer]

Phillies sign bargain basement journeyman*.

*journeyman <> Moses Malone-level performance

Very good deal for the Mets. Niese is mediocre at best based on what I've seen and the numbers seem to support that (4.13 ERA last year in Citi field probably closer to high 4.s in other places). He's also not cheap -- full price and maybe then some for an innings eater really.

Ken Giles to the Astros? Better be backing up the damn truck.

 

[gldendog]

Heyward to the Cubs.

 

[UncleBill69]

So his name won't be on a laminated salary card in the Nats owner's pocket next year?

Mets are working out a cricket player. Is this the most "Mets move" possible?

Did BW miss Drew Storen being traded to the Blue Jays for Ben Revere?!

Cant believe the Mets pulled that off.
