GimmeShelter Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Would love Manny or Abreu( Abreu is so underrated) and Sheets/Perez. With the 3 or 4 interchangable SP's and corner outfielders(with the exception of Manny) the GM's hold all the cards. Wigginton, Hinske and Cabrera would make some nice depth for teams with payroll room. Cabrera obviously wouldn't be too likely to accept that type of a role.

I may be wrong, but I think Hinske signed a deal with a Japanese team. also, when it comes Abreu, I totally agree. While we may not be an elite player, the guy has a career OBP above .400, career .300 batting avg, he has a knack for the big hit, can steal bases, and has a strong throwing arm. I still think he is a good fit for the Mets. He's the perfect #2 hitter at this point in his career. Abreu and Reyes are ideal table setters for Wright, Beltran, and Delgado. 1. Reyes SS 2. Abreu RF 3. Wright 3B 4. Beltran CF 5. Delgado 1B 6. Church LF 7. Castillo 2B 8. Schneider C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind the Mets signing him if they aren't going after Manny, their offense as it is now isn't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrissey Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Abreu has said he would accept a 1 year deal. Mets are crazy if they don't jump at that, if they are in fact, not interested in Manny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiLMiCKMANTLE Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 there are wayyyyy to many good players on that list are teams waiting until the last minute or something??.. what do some of these guys do when they dont have anywhere to report to come spring training? and Abreu would be good any where.. no one in baseball can work a count like that guy.

SenorGato Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'd love for the Cubs to sign Dunn, put Soriano in right, and put Fukudome in CF (possibly platoon I guess). Or better yet, sign Sheets and use Heilman in the bullpen. Only thing that sucks about Sheets is the draft picks given up. Oliver Perez sucked last season, but I still kind of think he can be a good pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrissey Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 I personally would love to have Adam Dunn. I wonder if he would be willing split time with Matsui for a season, and take over the DH spot next year when Matsui is gone. Remember he's only 29 year old. Adam Dunn could hit 50 home runs in Yankee Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrissey Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 I want Griff Jr for DH... let him hang around long enough to beat Bond's record... keep him out of the field and he should stay healthy... lol I'll pass. We have A-Rod for that stuff, and Griffey isn't as good as Matsui at this point in his career. If we are going to bring someone in, I'll take Adam Dunn in his prime.

Morrissey Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Swish may play some LF too. I'm sure Girardi will move all his outfield options around to give some guys, especially Damon, time at DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aten Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 So? He'd hit eleventy billion home runs too. An out is an out. Dunn just kinda seems like a half measure.

Jets Voice of Reason Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Dunn just kinda seems like a half measure. If they're gonna get ridiculous they might as well get Manny ridiculous. Manny ridiculous comes with a significantly higher price tag over a longer duration. As it is, he's too risky to make a long term investment in. Strikeouts aren't a huge problem, the downside is you are unable to advance runners and the chance for defensive error is minimal. But the upside is you typically don't get into double plays. It's just more of a mental effect more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeShelter Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Unbelievable that Manny, Dunn and Abreu are still out there. Orlando Hudson was supposed to be a big addition for someone as well. Manny is somewhat understandable due to demands but a guy like Abreu should not be out there this long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
