Close of Meetings Rumor/News Thread

Tiny by Matthew on in Miscellaneous Comment 260 comments

To keep the clutter out of other threads. Topics up for grabs:

Even as the Angels continue to pursue Mark Teixeira, it appears that Raul Ibanez has emerged as their No. 1 alternative if Teixeira signs elsewhere. There were indications that the Angels already have begun negotiating the parameters of a deal with Ibanez on a just-in-case basis.

- A.J. Burnett appears headed to a five-year, 85-90 million contract with the Yankees.

- Derek Lowe might also be signed by the Yankees.

- The Yankees are trying to pry Mike Cameron away from the Brewers. The Yankees appear seriously pissed about missing the playoffs.

- The following Mariners were selected away in Rule 5: Miguel Marquez, Gerardo Esparza and Andrew Barb. Yawn.

- Nick Punto gets a two-year, $8.5 million contract?

- Seriously, holy crap are the Tigers retarded.

Looks like we snagged an interesting yet far-too-old for his league LHP in the rule 5 draft

Jose Lugo, we traded with the Royals to get him after they picked him from the Twins. Looks like he’s got some strike out ability—he’s struck out 295 in 300 minor league innings.

I didn’t see anywhere else mentioning this pick, just Ryan and Corona, so sorry if I just missed it.

We have no idea how his defense at 1B would be. He really hasn't played there.

And a lot depends on his contract, but take him out of lefty-friendly SafeCo, and move him to DH, (worth about -1.5 wins on the D spectrum) and he’s got to not collapse to avoid being another bad investment. Plus moving him to DH keeps Vlad in the OF.

Contention

I have to wonder why we are still saying we can’t content for the West next year. We’ve fixed every defensive hole not named Yuni, made modest improvements to the offense (simply leaving Sexson and Vidro off the roster accomplished this, not to mention adding Branyan) and our starting pitching should regress for the better next year. We do have holes in the bullpen, but I don’t think those are impossible to overcome.

I think if we signed a good DH (Bradley), signed Fields (to help with the bullpen holes), we would be very, very close to contention. We do still have pieces lying around that are valuable enough to possibly get a new SS, but that would probably be difficult. Orlando Cabrera would be a defensive upgrade, but an offensive nightmare.

What do you guys think? I’ve seen various posts over the last few days that were still Bearish for next year, but this is a very different roster going forth.

I don't think we are extremely far away

But a lot of things have to go right next season. None of them are totally outlandish, never gonna happen kind of things, but there are a lot of them nonetheless.

That is true

I mean, look at some of the teams last year that weren’t bad but got slammed by injuries and under performance. Yankees, especially.

by batura on Dec 11, 2008 11:29 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well, yes

That is true. If they do continue to sell, this would probably put an end to 09. Of course, the hope would be that it makes ’10 very strong.

We're not going to go after any moderate or big names

From the looks of things, Zduriencik is doing what I was hoping he’d do – build for the future while attempting to field a team in 2009 that can play .500 baseball, and maybe a little more with some good luck. It’s not impossible that we could contend. It’s just not likely, or expected.

by Jeff on Dec 11, 2008 11:49 AM PST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I would rather wait a year or two for a sustainable world series team then rushing out a faux-contender like they did last year and 2007.

haha

The M’s have no offense, no pitching and have now patched themselves up to be maybe a slightly above average defense? Milton Bradley had a good season in Texas, even at DH something is reasonably likely to go wrong with him and he isn’t that good anyway.

The M’s are far and away the worst team in the division. I’ll admit I’m primarily an A’s fan, but I’m also an M’s fan and I’m from Seattle. I can see the reality though, and that is last place unless Texas or Oakland falls apart, unlikely on either end.

Well, roughly, I'm looking at the expected VORP of your likely starters

and then just crudely factoring in possible areas of likely improvement and taking into account other teams in the division.

If Z pushed it he could make an unlikely challenge for 2nd and a very unlikely challenge for 1st. Clearly, he isn’t going to try, that’s a good thing, and he will probably trade away Beltre and end the remote possibility of contention in doing so. I realize no one is suggesting the M’s are competetive quite yet, so maybe I’ve taken exception to the idea that they are “very close.” Help me understand how they are so close?

Also, I’m not sure how Gutierrez impacts things? (Does that mean OF of Gutierrez, Balentin and Ichiro?)

I might also be biased in my hatred for Carlos Silva and Washburn, but I don’t expect a huge rebound. Him and Wash will benefit from the defensive improvements, but they still stink. What would be an average projection for them, for RRS, for Morrow next year as a starter? Same goes for Bedard. I don’t have the numbers off-hand, but I’m not just spouting off here, I don’t think any decent system has or would project very favorably (as SPs). Sure, there is upside, but what is the 50% likelihood?

I just get the sense that some are expecting the M’s additions and additions by subtractions to pay significant dividends in ‘09, but really both the Rangers and the A’s have loaded farm systems that are likely going to start paying out next year, giving these clubs a mediocre chance at competing with the Angels and leaving the Mariners deep in the cellar. I think Z also sees this fate.

The Angels have a good rotation.

It would be awesome to sweep in and get Manny at 2/38 with a third year option at $22M.

Put him at DH and watch our offense go.

But it sounds like GMZ is set on getting a lefty sock to fill the position.

2:18 p.m. — Will Ibanez sign before Teixeira?

Raul Ibanez could be the next free-agent slugger to sign after Mark Teixeira — if Ibanez doesn’t choose his next team first.

Two of the teams bidding for Teixeira — the Angels and Nationals — also are pursuing Ibanez, according to major-league sources.

But Ibanez, 36, could decide to join the Cubs, Mets, Phillies or another club interested in him without waiting for the Teixeira losers.

And not the Angels if they somehow manage to get Tex.

But yeah, as Paul said, the Dodgers would be the best-case scenario as far as how high the draft pick would be, but it’s gotta be a team that doesn’t sign a higher-ranked free agent. (Though if the Dodgers re-sign Furcal, we’d still be good.)

After Seattle gave Ichiro that contract extension

Here's what Samson said. Via Ted Miller at the P-I:
Appearing on Dan Le Batard’s South Florida radio show, Samson said Ichiro’s new, five-year, $100 million contract — as reported by the Seattle P-I’s John Hickey — will “literally take the sport down.”
Samson, who repeatedly cited Ichiro’s age (34 when the new contract begins) said he was “speechless” as he made his speech. He called the contract “complete mismanagement.” He added that, “Ichiro? Who’s led his team to zero, nothing!”

Beltre added Twins to his partial no-trade list?

Does that even make sense?

When [the Twins] attempted to investigate a possible deal, they discovered that — since the last time they’d looked into Beltre during the season — he’d added the Twins to a list of teams on his limited no-trade clause. Twins officials were somewhat surprised, though it’s not unusual. When a player sees a team showing public interest in trading for him, they will sometimes amend their no-trade to include that club and then use it as a bargaining chip down the road. Usually, some kind of cash settlement is needed.

I agree that the ridiculous use of the apostrophe today is a bigger sin to the language, but I don’t think a baseball blog is going to be any substitute for what people should have learned in school.

In the suit, filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, the Dodgers argue the torn labrum that required surgery and limited Schmidt to six games over two years was unrelated to the rotator cuff injury and thus covered by insurance.

Dodgers spokesman Josh Rawitch said Tuesday the team could not comment on a pending legal matter. …

It is believed the Schmidt physical included an MRI examination that confirmed the rotator cuff injury. In the suit, the Dodgers claim such injuries are not uncommon and said they awarded him the contract based on his success with the Giants.
