Re: The Hot Stove League Thread

Looks like Joe Nathan is going with the same number as his age, 63.

^Haha.

I look for the Tigers to make a run at Kelly Johnson any minute now considering he's not Type A anymore.

Also on Aarmis Ramirez, there are so few teams interested (sources say Detroit and the Brewers) that I don't think there is anyway he'll get 3-4 years from anybody.

I say offer 2 years 21 million, take it or leave it.

I think the Angels might be desperate to go out and add a bat, so it wouldn't surprise me if they gave him 3-4 years.

This and Furcal would make my offseason.

Terry Ryan makes me smile. Love the Carroll and Doumit signings. Classic Ryan.

Now, who wants to make a trade??

Dayman... I absolutely agree, that would be really nice... But I can only see Doug signing Furcal... I really think we going to go with Green at 3B and Gamel at 1B... With a lineup looking like this (if we do indeed sign Furcal)...

Furcal
Morgan
Braun
Weeks
Hart
Gamel
Green
Lucroy

I wouldn't hate that, and I certainly see it as more probable, but I'd love to see Melvin take a run at Ramirez anyways.

Haha... I wish we have the lineup that Texas has... Just imagine if Prince is added to that lineup... WOW!! Easily the best lineup in baseball...

I would love to get Aramis... I would take him over Taylor any day...

Royals sign Bruce Chen.

For $9 million over two years, with a $1 million roster bonus and up to $1 million in incetives.

You know the economics are screwed up when Bruce Chen might end up with 11 mil over 2 years.

He's been a solid pitcher the past two years.
