Hate those Rodents

Monty, few teams have made moves yet. Its been a slow off season for everybody. Doug does lots of gm-speak too. Don't believe anything on the payroll until the'pudding proves it.

I'll take gorzelanny

I am guessing it is Fields.

There was supposedly some legs to an Upton for Olt and Holland deal. I wonder if we added a little something to Hart, if Texas would give us both. We then could trade Ramirez and get something really good while being set with what I think will be a great young cheap infield (Gamel I have faith in at first).

Has there been an update here?

I can't believe we can't afford one of these second tier free agent starters as is. Then if you have no money for relievers, it should be easy to do minor trades for bullpen help.

Maldonado and Gamel for Dickey seems fair

We would be fine with a Kottaras type as a backup. If we can get a good return for Maldy, Doug will find us a good enough backup catcher to play once a week.

There are twelve teams that would take him for a song. One of those twelve will pay more than the board thinks. I guess we will see who is right.

I am guessing they will get a better offer for him than most posters on here would want to give up. So with that,I'd pass.

Melvin mentioned teams have called about him but that he's "not motivated" to move him. Which day this week will he be dealt?

I'd offer Jurjjens the mike Cameron deal from a few years ago. Five million for next year and ten million for a team option in 2014.

at least he's not going to walk batters. I'll take him over parra, that's for sure.

I guess I value Gamel more than most, since I can totally see Kenny Williams insisting on him in a deal. You can sign a Floyd type for 1-2 years without giving up assets I would think. Just wait until January when there will still be a couple guys leftover.

I'd like to try and put together a deal for Hughes if we could extend him..
