I hate Ruben Amaro.
So, so much.

Will you guys even have a player under the age of 33?I hate Ruben Amaro.

Not many.Will you guys even have a player under the age of 33?
He's ok but he is 36 he is yet another player who doesn't walk enough and I doubt he can sustain his power numbers. He had a nice comeback year last year but I think he will come down to earth a bit next year. Choo is much better, 5 years younger and would have fit better in the Phils lineup.Byrd is a good player and excellent in the clubhouse.
As an aside...Wilpon is saying the Mets may have something to announce this afternoon.
And is horrid against lefties....Choo is also look for 100 mil...not woth it at all. Boras client.
Ellsbury is a Boras client as well and rumors say that the Cubs are "stealthily waiting in the wings", even though Epstein keeps saying they aren't going to sign any big money free agents again this season. Read that Boras is setting the benchmark for Ellsbury's deal at the 7/$142M that Carl Crawford got from Boston a few years back. Feh. Speed guy who just turned 30 and has missed significant time with injury. Very good player but really no chance to return anywhere near that kind of value.Choo is also look for 100 mil...not woth it at all. Boras client.
I wasn't aware that he is a Boras client and that does make me reconsider. I do think he's probably worth 100 mil or close to it. I am a big fan. One complaint I have with him is he gets caught stealing too much but that can be fixed. I do think he's better than Byrd by a country mile though, and I think the Phillies will be disappointed with Byrd pretty quickly.Choo is also look for 100 mil...not woth it at all. Boras client.
Batting average? I wonder what his OBP is against lefties.And is horrid against lefties....
The Mets are surprisingly getting quite a few nibbles on Ike...I could see him going to TB for Escobar if they don't sign Peralta.
You talking about Pierzinski? Doubtful. AJ has said he wants to go to a contender, which the Twins certainly are not. Maybe in a couple years when their young pitching in the minors get some seasoning, but until then, bleh.Saw a blurb on MLB Traderumors where Minnesota could be a landing spot for AJ. AJ could be going back home.

He also loves defensive 1B.
Good one. Escobar is a personal favorite of Maddon. He loves his defensive range and he's cheap.
We got by playing epic busts like Sean Rodriguez at 1B at times to spell Loney last year. Defensively we'd be fine there. There is no replacement for Escobar though.He also loves defensive 1B.
