    I think a guy at his development stage needs to play near every day. I hope they at least start him at Triple A and bring in a Haase type affordable vet who is competent enough. Maybe Haase himself.

    Well deserved. We have a great manager, great field staff, great front office, and as good an owner any team has. What we don't have is a fair playing field.

    Without a true cap largely increased revenue sharing would have to be part of the package so that the small market teams could compete far better than now in order to retain and bring in outside talent. Carrot and stick, stick being penalties. But no doubt an NFL cap is the way to go. Big market teams and the players union will never allow it.

    Makes sense if this is what Rickie wants to do. Plenty of good heads in the dug out. Imperative that we keep Hook.

    This out of balance MLB is beyond perverse, There are a number of ways to address it the best being a similar cap situation like the NFL has. The big market teams teaming with the players union will never allow that to happen. The next best way would be to address revenue sharing in a big way along with penalties for teams going over certain thresh holds. Losing international money, losing draft picks, whatever it takes. You could also provide additional high picks to the smaller market teams. Some kind of cumulative affect, but I think without a cap you need both carrot and stick. Reward and penalty.

    Sign one of the Nippon guys to play 3rd (preferably Murakami) and move Durbin to 2nd. Could trade Ortiz if a deal is there otherwise he'd fit in good on the bench. Cheaper than trying to bring in two new bats, one in and one outfield. And let's get an extension done with Turang.
  7. Trax
    What would Perk be worth? I don't see any stand alone value, maybe be added as a secondary piece with someone like Peralta. We need to add at least one bona fide bat. More likely it will be with the infield abut both would be nice.
  8. Trax
    Ortiz isn't worth much as a stand alone but he is as a defensive replacement. We hopefully add an infield bat no doubt and it can be 3rd, SS, or 2nd with the versatility we have. We could sure throw in Seigler or Black or Mitchell in with a trade but none are stand alone draws. Might add one with a Peralta trade or something like that. No way would I move Priester with the years of control we have with him. He hasn't even peaked yet. He is who you build around. I'd only bring Woody back with a team friendly deal with a team out. He owes us that much and I wouldn't risk anymore.
  9. Trax
    We need a veteran presence and it is somewhat likely Peralta is traded. Woody would be a nice return but I'd tread with caution here. Yes he needs a new contract but he needs to give this team a friendly deal to make that happen. Very friendly with a team out clause....
  10. Trax
    Get er done......
  11. Trax
    They need a bat and bad. They can't afford the top SS's. They don't necessarily need to if they can afford a top hitting 2nd baseman or 3rd baseman. Turang would gold glove it there too. They likely can't afford that either. They had better be working on an extension for Turang even though we have several more years locked up. Jefferson Q needs another year before we trade Contreras so we don't have much to offer on the trade market. Peralta is about it. Don't trade our very top prospects.
  12. Trax
    Arnold has done a superb job with limited resources. Very well deserved.
  13. Trax
    And so it begins.....
  14. Trax
    You are right on Contreras, I was just hoping. We have a top catching prospect nearly ready, he is one to watch this year. We will need to trade Contreras as soon as he is if the fat deal is available.
  15. Trax
    Beyond the obvious moves they need to make before the start of next year the team has to determine what they intend to do long term with players like Turang and Contreras. These two are examples of players the team really needs long term. I don't know if there is any chance in getting reasonable long term extensions now. I think our coaches and the front office has done a superb job. I don't blame the owner a bit for his approach, this is a business first. No owner would approach this team in a reckless manner business wise. The big market teams in today's system have a huge advantage.
  16. Trax
    There is no player a team shouldn't listen to offers for. You can always say thanks and hang up. For Freddy he's not the ace on many teams, 2 or 3 guy. Will we be able to sign him to an extension is the question the team must ask itself. If likely no then you've got to be proactive. We don't need to trade him before the season, but if a fat deal is there I wouldn't hesitate. Value plus. As implied that value is going to have to be pretty good but maybe not quite what some think.
  17. Trax
    I hadn't heard that to that extent. It is exactly what MLB needs. Now you have to convince the big market teams and the players union to jump on board.
  18. Trax
    Absolutely spot on and would love to see all of that happen. My comments were strictly about player payroll.
  19. Trax
    The stinking Angels make more money in TV contracts alone without selling a ticket than the Brewers make with every single thing they do. It isn't the owner. He's doing everything he can do that still makes business sense and don't kid yourself, it's all about the business for every team. If we had the Dodgers owner it would be the same thing. MLB needs a cap system like the NFL has, or in the very least far greater revenue sharing with penalties like losing your international money and draft picks for going over certain thresh holds. Problem is the commish is an employee of the owners, and the 8 or 9 big market big money teams are going to keep the rigging exactly as it is. Manfred like Selig will do what he's told if he wants to continue sitting on their lap.

    I noticed it to but didn't trust myself to make the call. I think it was poor management to allow him to catch as much as he did with a broken finger, and even 100% healthy he needs days off to recharge whether he thinks so or not. He has voice in the matter but the manager should keep it a managers decision.

    These reports are much appreciated, the only way for many of us to stay in tune with many of these developing players. Great job!
  22. Trax
    Excellent info, a lot of meat and potatoes to digest!
  23. Trax
    Excellent report, I'm trying to get there yet this year to see these guys...
  24. Trax
    Yes.
  25. Trax
    We ate some money and add a bullpen arm for little player or prospect comp. Excellent!
