2017 Roster Discussion

[Tom in Fairfield CT]

Which is a Δ in roster spots of 0. We would want to protect the new player and we have to protect Mix assuming the speculation is correct. There is probably another reason our Mix trade has not occurred yet. Occams razor says we simply don't have anyone willing to meet our terms and conditions.

We overpaid for him then tanked his value by not playing him. No one is going to take him.

Bet he ends up in ATL and plays lights out. Typical city and all.

 

[Fantazma]

anyone worth getting from free agency ?

Definitely take Jacob Peterson. He had a reasonable salary at $144K. When we played SKC, he was the ultimate thorn in our side.

 

[D_RoyJenkins]

I would take a chance on Will Johnson

 

[Schwallacus]

I'd take Oduro or Le Toux as decent bench players if we don't spend too much on them. Also, Nat Borchers solely for his beard.

I'd be happy for him.

He'd be required to shave it off. Or at leas 20% of it considering the Yankees ownership.

Can we get him to do something like this?

Ned Grabavoy. Obviously.

 

[Keith Putnam]

Ned Grabavoy. Obviously.

Last I heard, I thought Grabs was taking an FO position with the Timbers.

Agreed with all of this. Borchers is a solid CB with lots of experience, though I have no idea what his salary demands are like.

I would take a chance on Will Johnson

Yes to Johnson, too.

Please. Pleeeeease tell me you understood I was being sarcastic and were just adding tangential information.

Please?

 

[Keith Putnam]

Please?

Oh, I certainly didn't think you really wanted us to take him back. I was just musing on whether or not he would be playing for anyone despite being a free agent now.

My faith in you (and humanity in general) is restored.

Here's a good question:

Would you rather have the opening game at home or the final game at home? (Can't have both, presumably).

In 2015 and 2016, the first game was away and the final game was at home. I prefer it that way.

I like closing at home.

 

[Gotham Gator]

If we sell Matarrita, is it worth making a run at D. Beasley?

 

[LionNYC]

No.

 

[LionNYC]

WRONG THREAD.

Having the first game at home is a luxury. Having the last game at home is an advantage.

Not a luxury if it's 20deg....
