I'm not sure if the Yankees won't make a big splash...but I know what her butthole looks like. :buddy:

I feel like they've been "in play" the last several years. Just spitballing, but maybe CarGo to Detroit or Seattle, Tulo to the Yankees?

I don't think the Yankees have the chips to land Tulo. At least, not yet. Their farm system is improving, but it's just not there yet. Too many other teams can trump them if Tulo is out there for a reasonable price. That said, I'm guessing the Rockies want major league ready or near ready young guys who look like they could be stars. From Boston that would mean one of Betts or Bogaerts as the center piece. Who do the Yankees have like that?
If I had to pick a landing spot for Tulo, I'd guess the Cubs. They have a few bats that could be redundant and could maybe build a package around a combination of Castro and Addison Russell with some ancillary pieces. Add Tulo to a lineup with Rizzo, Bryant, Baez and Soler and you have the makings of a top of the league offense. For the Rockies, they would have Castro under control until 2020 and Addison Russell is one of the top prospects in all the game, and could replace Tulo at short long term. Castro plays there in 2015 with Russell slated to take over in 2016 and bump Castro to second.

I don't see it.
Instead of spending a SS prospect and $118mm on Tulo, they can send that prospect (and a couple more) to the Phillies for Hamels, use the $118 (and some more) to sign Lester or Scherzer, and they are instantly the favorite in the NL Central.

Do you want to pay $118M over the next 6 years for a guy you can guarantee will miss atleast a month of the year?

Can I add "and is generally healthy before the Postseason?"Savin Hillbilly said:
Am I allowed to answer "yes, if in a typical year he earns his salary by about the All-Star break"?
It's not spending actual human money on baseball players, but he's probably doing just as good of a job in his current position as he did in his former one.glennhoffmania said:Steve Phillips still has a job related to baseball?
He's like the neocons who still have a gig on Fox explaining why we can't afford not to start a new war somewhere.glennhoffmania said:Steve Phillips still has a job related to baseball?

It appears Daisuke Matsuzaka is on verge of returning to play in Japan next season
RedOctober3829 said:MLB Radio hosts and analysts made their predictions on where the top 10 free agents might land. Here are some notable predictions.
--Steve Phillips has the Red Sox signing James Shields and Panda, the Yankees signing Scherzer and Hanley Ramirez, Jon Lester to Cubs.
--Jim Duquette has the Red Sox signing none of the top 10. He has Scherzer and Hanley to Yankees, Shields to LAA, and Victor Martinez to KC.

Seabass177 said:I don't think we'll see a worse signing this offseason. Giving up the #15 pick for Cuddyer is indefensible.

What a failed experiment that was. The projections for him were lofty indeed.

MakMan44 said:LOLMets.
That's just an awful, awful signing.
He's the only guy who's remotely a fit from the QO list. Maybe the Mets saw the Yanks pretend Jeter was a SS for the past seven years so they think they can get away with the same thing?MakMan44 said:I guess I could see them going after Hanley now, as currently constructed I don't know who else they would need from the QO list.
moondog80 said:I'm surprised he would take that deal over the QO, essentially betting that he wouldn't be able to get a 1 year deal for 5-6 mil next year.
