Dandy 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2007 The Reds should not offer up Jay Bruce right now. I really like Lincecum, but Jay Bruce is a 5 tool player. Years down the road, it could be proven that I am wrong, but I think Bruce will be a perennial All-Star banging out big numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheShooter 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2007 Meh. It's just that there's been a few instances on this board where I've started a new thread and it has immediately been locked because it apparently should have been posted in one of the generic 100 page all-encompassing threads instead. I mean I would rather there be several different threads about baseball issues so I can pick the ones I want to read rather than reading through the whole "MLB offseason thread" to find something of interest.

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2007 I sort of like this seemingly agressive approach that new GM Ed Wade is taking the first few days of the Hot Stove season. In addition to contacting the agents for Rowand and Hunter, it's been confirmed that he's contacted Curt Schilling (even though Houston wasn't on 'the list') and today it was confirmed that the Astros plan to agressively pursue Luis Castillo. The only other team I've heard of being interested in Castillo is the Mets, and they just signed Damion Easly, so if the Astros can get Castillo to be a slap-hitting, high-OBP leadoff man in front of Pence, Berkman, and Lee, that would be an upgrade. And then they could shop Burke and Scott for pitching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2007 Anybody got information on these 2 guys? GM Jim Hendry said that the Cubs definitely discussed going after Japanese free agents Kosuke Fukudome and Hiroki Kuroda. - Marlon Anderson is expected to get a one-year deal with a 2009 option to remain with the Mets. - The Nationals have initiated contact with the agents for Torii Hunter and Aaron Rowand. - Under the terms of his new contract, Matt Stairs will make $2.25 million next year and $1 million in 2009 for Toronto. - Cubs exercised first baseman Daryle Ward's $1.2 million contract for 2008. - According to the Beaver County Times, the Pirates could name Triple-A Ottawa manager John Russell their replacement for Jim Tracy as soon as Monday. Russell, 46, was on the Pirates staff in 2003-05. He's reportedly being picked over White Sox bench coach Joey Cora, Dodgers bench coach Dave Jauss, Triple-A Indianapolis manager Trent Jewitt and Cleveland third base coach Joel Skinner.

Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2007 So I guess Joe Torre to LA is now official: 3 years, $13 million. Also, the Pirates announced they have hired John Russell as their new manager. He comes from the Phillies minor league system, but previously worked as the Pirates third base coach. I know little to nothing about him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is probably looking for one more contract so he can retire in 2 or 3 years. But it's just another thing to deal with, on top of the Posada and Rivera free agencies.

Boon 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2007 ORLANDO - Curt Schilling's new 1-year, $8 million deal with the Red Sox (which is pending results of a physical) will include $2 million worth of incentives if he meets weight requirements. The team hopes to insure that Schilling will be fit when he comes to spring training, a source close to the negotiations said moments ago. Schilling can earn an additional $3 million in performance bonues, making his total incentive package at a possible $5 million. According to the Associated Press, the performance bonuses are based on innings pitched. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
