The 2012-13 MLB Hot Stove Thread

[Czerka]

ok, something to worry about:

FB velocity:
12: 88.5
11: 89.8
10: 90.5
09: 90.5
08: 91.1

But i researched that he moved mostly to cutter recently. In 2007, he threw 17 cutters. In 2011, which was a very good year for him, he threw 1807 cutters. What other dominnant pitcher throw predominately cutters

let's see how the physical goes, but visions of Brad Lidge are floating in my brain.

13 mil is a lot more than i thought hed get

Looks like it's a forgone conclusion R.A. dikkey will be traded before the winter meetings are over.

I like this better than signign Grienke.

Now sign LaRoche and trade Morse for some prospect.

Some like Morse to Seattle for Tom Wilhelmsen would work. Hard thrower, closed for them but would likely be a setup guy for us, still 5 years of club control (2 pre-arb years left).

Plus Seattle is looking for bats.

Or

Get Wade Davis from Tampa in exchange for Morse to have another option around. Davis is normally a starter, but he was very good out of the pen last year, so he'd be an excellent safety net if Haren gets injured again.

We should of just traded Wright, this "half in, half out" shyt won't work. Either spend money and try to win, or move the vets and get younger.

Upton for Cliff Lee talks heating up


I can't root for Youk on the Yankees. I just can't. I say this knowing he'd be so useful to this team.

13 mil for a plus defending OF; who will steal bases, get on base, and provide some pop and veteran leadership. Not to mention, he'll prob hit 15+ HR's at Fenway, and it's a 3yr deal. Napoli will be a great 6 hitter for them.

they arent wack players, saw Shane play for years in the PHI media market, but damn the numbers just disrespect the process

guys dont even get punished for off years or age, its like these factors get thrown out the window in a dry FA year. 32 year olds coming off subpar seasons, on a team that just dumped? mehhhh

13 million doesn't get you what it use to get you. BJ Upton for christ sakes is making 17 mil. They're short deals anyway.
