FA less talked about here.

Ok,

Someone smart think of possible years and salary for these players. I know they arent all possible for the Crew. But hey, it will be nice to know.

1. Gary Matthews Jr.

2. Julio Lugo

3. Jeff Weaver

4. Randy Wolf

5. Dace Roberts.

 

 

Thank you so much to whoever can put some numbers together.

[trwi7]

Sarge Jr. 3-4 years $27-36 million

 

Julio Lugo 4 years $36 million

 

Jeff Weaver 3 years $30 million

 

Randy Wolf 3 years $21-24 million

 

Dave Roberts 2-3 years $5.5-9 million

 

The only one on that list I would want is Roberts.

[JohnBriggs12]

I wouldn't go near any of those at those prices.

 

I don't think any teams will either.

[Nader Raider Tim]

I think that Lugo, Matthews, Wolf and Roberts will get what trwi7 stated. Not that the production meets to pay but teams have money to spend. Matthews and Roberts to intrigue me a bit. Matthews especially, but probably not at that much money.

[Klements Bratwurst]

If Weaver gets that money based on a couple games in the playoffs it would be incredible. It would be like the 3-10 record with a 5.50 ERA that he had with the Angels didn't happen.....

 

If Weaver gets that money, which I doubt, DD is a bargin at the $21 million that was rumored earlier!

[thefutureishere2006]

weaver scares me how the brewers can shell him and he shuts down the mets.

[Tisko]

I wouldnt mind having any of those free agents, but not at those prices.

[MessiahRp]

Is there really no value in Wolf as even a reclamation project? He had a lot of upside at one time.

This is from a FA prediction story on Rotoworld:

 

Dave Roberts (Padres) - Prediction: Brewers - three years, $16 million

 

I can live with that.

[aracko]

Dave Roberts is probably the best fit out there for CF, although he (IMO) is the least exciting. I dont know why either. He swipes bases at a high rate, plays good defense, and has a pretty good and pretty accurate arm. He is a legitimate leadoff hitter. He would be a huge upgrade for the team.

 

Not the most exciting signing, but at 3 years and 16 million - I could definatly live wiht that.

[endaround]

Because he isn't that good. His career numbers are .270/.344/.371. Signing a guy who is 34 and marginal for three years makes little sense.

[Dollarbill13]

What about Moises Alou to play right with Hart in left?

[Ennder]

Alou is actually kind of interesting if we can move Jenkins, though I'm not really keen on making our defense worse than it already is and Alou is most certainly a step down from Jenkins in the field.

[pogokat]

Alou is a Daen taylor signing...good, but no use whatsoever past this year...

 

dougie seems to only give maybe/cheapo guys the one year deals...

 

if we sign someone, i'm sure it'll be to a three year ish deal...so nobody over 38...which sadly eliminates Lofton..and greg maddux
