    Re: 2013-14 Hot Stove League Thread

    If the Royals trade Butler it better be to shed salary for a bigger move. Trading Butler subtracts from the team big time... especially if we were going to make a run for it this year.

    The Yankees drafted Elway out of the Rule V draft? I knew that the Royals had selected both Elway and Dan Marino in the same First-Year player draft.



    I've heard that sound 3 times... once was Babe Ruth, the second was Josh Gibson, and the third was Bo Jackson- Buck O'Neil

        Don't mind it at all. Ask for the Moon.. Don't settle.

          No, there's asking for the moon, and then just being completely ridiculous.

          We're not getting Shark, it doesn't matter. I'm pretty sure AA is gonna move EE+Stro for Price and then Sanchez for Butler. That's what it seems like it's shaping up to be. I don't support that, not at all, but it wouldn't surprise me.

                If that happens than.......this is a make or break year for Anthopoulos. He'd be basically emptying the cupboard just to make the playoffs.

                Personally i'd be very upset if he does those two as you describe them.

                    Cubs picked up Liam Hendricks off waivers from the Twins today. Also picked up utilityman Ryan Roberts as well.

                      MLB gonna investigate Yankee President Levine for tampering.

                      Kinda foolish. His comments were made as an example of who you give ten year contracts too.

                      Is MLB that bored?

                            Committing money like is a very un-Ray move in my opinion. No speed, minimal power, and his defense is overrated. I'm thinking his wRC+ of 118 is an aberration rather than the rule. He could make his value up in the deal but upside is limited IMO.

                            I like Infante to KC. They can make Bonafacio a utility guy. That offense, fielding and bullpen will be legit.

                                4 for 30M and change is not bad. Yankees should have gone the extra year for him. Bad move by Cashman.
