MK7 wants Mahtook!

[Big Z]

That tjfla is full of BS!!!!!

Well heard names from the Tampa finally as well(NOT SAYING THESE ARE DONE,JUST NAMES MENTIONED)

Tampa-Mikie Mahtook(We drafted out of HS),Derek Dietrich,Enny Romero,Alex Colome

Yes they are still favored however if Oakland offers Green AND Peacock that could change,Tampa also is in on Cabrera but said that Cleveland wants a young ML arm and Hak Ju Lee so not sure about that. Tampa doesn't seem to mind tho paying top price to get a SS

No Richie Schaffer?

I would take just one of those guys for Escobar.

Don't think anyone can say TJ is not legit after this one. He hit it right on the nose.

I can say what I've always said.

He definitely has real sources that have sources, but he gets like 20% right
--------------------
I'd trade Stanton for Peacock

[tjfla]

Well the deal that Oakland thought they had yesterday was

Brad Peacock OR Grant Green and a low level pitcher for Escobar however Tampa made an offer and Beinfest told Oakland the deal was off. Now teams are just waiting to see what is going on with Cabrera before anything is done

Also NYY are in the mix as well

[Mainge]

Stuff about CF (they like Ruggiano there apparently, which is cool); also stuff about the bullpen. ~3 spots available. Might sign 1 or 2 vets if it makes sense. Koehler has a shot to win a spot in the starting rotation.

[tjfla]

Ya thats the plan

Sign Vet RP for 2/3 years
LOOGY-Jennings,Maine,Dayton,Olmos,Minor League FA
RP-Ceda,Ramos,Reed,Caminero,Hatcher,Minor League FA

Then also look for a Vet UT/2B

5th Starter-LeBlanc,Koehler,Sanabia,Hand

[Erick]

What Vet RP's are they interested in?

[Big Z]

TJ, any idea if Keppinger is being looked at?

[tjfla]

RP-Farnswoth,Moylen,Grilli(Was mentioned but he is looking to close)

No the UT names I have heard are Ryan Raburn,DeRosa

[Erick]

Grilli is probably going to get a nice contract after last year.
Farnsworth might get 2 years from a team desperate for relievers.

There's no way Moylan gets 2-3 years. He's thrown 13 innings the past two years and is basically just a right-handed specialist when healthy. A really good one, though. As I said in the Jurrijens discussion that presented itself on this board, I think Moylan would be a nice vet to sign to a minor league deal or guaranteed, cheap 1-year deal.

[Ramp]

amazing what Jason Grilli has done to that fastball

[Erick]

I still remember when Jason Grilli started his career with us being incredibly not fun to watch.
