1989 Free Agency Talk

[Clay]

I know some teams like to play it close to the vest.... but anyone have thoughts on FA?

Who are the names to get?

Predictions on who goes where?

Got three Players currently on the OSA Top Players list on the market (Jeremy Windley, Ezequiel Parongao and Jerry Kraft)....

Got a two-time Stout Slugger out there in Campo....

Some former big names.... David Tardif, Joe Sierra, Broderick Joyce...

Very interesting off-season.

[Lintyfresh85]

I thought the same about Tardif until you realize he's only 25.

[Clay]

I meant to take aging out when I added him.

[Sully]

I was surprised to see Jeff Franklin is only 27. He was a stud at 19, and it feels like he's been around forever.

I don't plan on making any big splashes in the market.

[Spear]

I was looking forward to Ken Cahill hitting the free agent market but Los Alamos had other plans.

[Carlos]

There are names and those names will sign.

I haven't evaluated the entire market to really say if Denver will be doing anything. All I know is Denver has a lot of money to spend and still likes the idea of having a power hitting DH on a short term deal that won't require giving up any prospects.

So, I'll see who is out there that makes sense and I can already tell you that most of the names people will think make sense, don't.

[Lintyfresh85]

I'm only looking at about 2-3 guys.

FA class was a bit short on talent this year. Or, at least my scout seems to think so.

[Pat]

My scout thinks this group is talented at the top but doesn't run very deep.

Oh, and Kraft is going to get paiiiiiid.

[Jistic]

Onomoutu is worth top dollar. Someone will sign him and win the whole thing.

Other than that I don't see a whole lot.

Someday when Jistic makes it into the BLB Hall of Fame... his memoir will be called:

"Make Me a Sandwich: A Small Market Team's Quest For Extra Picks"

[Clay]

My interest in the FA Market changes dramatically based on how much some of these guys are asking for. I really only have two spots on my active roster to fill. Both can be filled in AAA. However, not passing on a bargain with a track record if they're there.

It was the other Los team. Alas, we didn't have any other plans to speak of...

[Jim]

It was the other Los team. Alas, we didn't have any other plans to speak of...

I officially request that one of the Los teams needs to change their name....I confuse them too.

[Spear]

I officially request that one of the Los teams needs to change their name....I confuse them too.

Clearly I do too.

Although there is a fair size difference between 58 and 80 wins (sorry spot).

We are the bad one.
