and Gomez’s game is based on speed….same as Bourn and Reyes…

Gomez plays in a bandbox for RHP with 16 of his 19 HR coming in notorious hitters parks

Gomez is going to be 28 ( same age as Reyes )

LOL

There is always a shot…It just depends on how you approach the negotiations when the call comes in…
Play the pain in the ass stingy unmoveable negotiator and you lose him to someone else….
Act like it’s an important deal to you and work hard on an enticing counteroffer that does not insult them and you might talk long enough to get a consensus on what both sides will accept…

But if the phone rings and you say NO NO NO Call me back with a better offer you will never get that second call….They will simply move onto another partner.

It Second Guesses itself on EVERY DECISION and as a result tey tend to NOT make a decision waiting for the answer (the Player, the Price, The WINS) to come to them without the need to take any risk….

They would not commit to a price on Reyes that he might have said yes to, hoping he would drop back into thier lap at a price they couldn’t say no to…(The old Bidding Against yourself) If they made an offer they might have paid 2-3 Mil MORE if he accepted thier offer than they could have had him for if the rest of ther league refused to pay him and he came back to us for a discount of what they even considered he was worth.

Ike should go down, But wait maybe he should stay up! (At least they made the right choice this time)

We are Buyers, No we are NOT Buyers

Maybe we are Sellers (Hairston), No we are not (because we asked for the moon hoping someone desperate would cave and give us just a bit more than he deserved)

Harvey is NOT READY, A week and one shaky start later HE’s READY!

We are building from the draft, We take Players X,Y, and Z, Decide after the fact half of them are not worth having.

We Close down one of our Affiliates, A year later reopen it!

This Front Office has spent tha last two years putting one foot forward only to pull it back and then take a step in the opposite direction.

It has no faith in its own decisions why the hell should we have faith in them as well?
At least us INEXPERIENCED Fans are smart enough to know the decision was bad from the get go!

I have to agree with you on these points

I agree with you that Bourn is good, not great, and in a perfect world they would not forfeit the #11 pick. BUT,
- you need to give to get, even when signing quality FAs
- what Bourn brings is desparately needed by this team – speed, a leadoff hitter, and gold-glove outfield play (in a very big OF)
- I don’t care how may whiffs Bourn has, or if he is a left-handed hitter – OBP and runs socred are the only stats that matters
- he just turned 30. I know the charts show fall-off after that age, but any FA OF is going to be in this age bracket
- 4 yrs.$48 mil is not comparable to Bay’s contract.
- just because Bay and Perez sucked is no reason for any team, no less a big market team, to run from FA signings

Look, I am no Sandy basher, he has done some good things here. But, and that is a big but, no one in touch with reality is going to believe anything he says, and this includes the paying customers, until he back up the “we intend to compete” talk with some actions. Bourn was debatable, Arizona’s price was debatable, but he struck out on all fronts which is inexcusable while the cheapest opening day seat is $63. How about we sign up Brian Wilson as an insurance policy for Parnell/FF? Surely a team that plans to compete in 2013, sas the GM says, can do that with the wad of money in Freddy’s pocket.

Victorino rejected the Tribe to sign with Boston, but Bourn eventually ended up taking a similar offer (four years/$48MM with a $12MM vesting option on a fifth year) from the Indians once a larger contract failed to materialize on the open market. “

Does that change the level of excitement? Were you excited by Joe Smith the ROOGY?

but Sandy has signed NONE

in between EVERY and NONE is an inbetween

like i said, u sandy apologists are beyond pathetic

Sandy has been preaching flexibility every year, resulting in a worse w/l record every year, dwindling attendance every year, less revenue every year, snowballing into a team not being able to afford ANY FA

but yeah, tell me again how NOT spending is working out for us !

Looking at what ATL gave, I think the Tejada package would have been more appealing. But that said, neither Tejada or Murph are the player that Prado is. I think that is what derailed this. If Murph showed a little more pop last year, maybe that could have sealed the deal? Guess we’ll never know.
