Are the asking prices too high?

KCBOOMER · 12-29-2003, 03:15 PM

The agent for Irod and Maddix (Boras) thinks these guys ought to get monster contracts worthy of great players. Neither is nothing put a nice player now. I don't know what the hold up with Guerrero is. He has a monster offer from the O's but hasn't agreed to it. Nothing special about the rest of those guys.

LeGrandOrange · 12-29-2003, 04:44 PM

Lidle just got signed so there needs to be a call-up.

I guarantee you that a team like that could get a .500 or so record, may even be a wild card contender. It really doesn't look all that bad. No wonder they talk about collusion...(but that's a different post)

sweaver · 12-29-2003, 10:38 PM

That's OK, even without Lidle there's still 5 SPs.

Gosfgiants · 12-29-2003, 11:08 PM

I bet that by Jan 5 or so most of these guys will be signed. My guess is that most front offices are on vacation. I seem to recall that there still some decent names (maybe not as many) unsigned.

i'd also move Mondesi to CF and leave Vlad in RF

Where they can fit better? Only as a game let me assume this with all the errors that can be done:

C Ivan Rodriguez -- Dodgers or Cubs
1B Fred McGriff -- Yankees, SF
2B Robert Alomar -- Colorado, Arizona or Cincinnati (only looking hitters parks)
3B Todd Zeile -- retirement
SS Rich Aurilia -- Seattle, Chisox, Toronto
RF Raul Mondesi -- Arizona
CF Vladimir Guerrero -- Baltimore, NYM, Dodgers, SF
LF Juan Gonzalez -- Dodgers, Baltimore
DH Rafael Palmeiro -- Yankees, Montreal, St. Louis

SP Greg Maddux -- SD, St,Louis
SP Sidney Ponson -- Dodgers, St.Louis, Baltimore
SP Kenny Rogers -- Dodgers
SP Shawn Estes -- Dodgers, Mets

RP Jeff Nelson -- St.Louis, Chisox
RP Mike Williams -- ?
RP Mike DeJean -- ?
RP Terry Adams -- ?
RP Ugueth Urbina -- Mets, Chisox
