Spend Ricketts Money: Free Agents
« on: July 29, 2014, 11:36:37 AM »
Crazy Rumor Guy's current free agent rankings.

I'm in for #1 and #2.  At $20mm per year each, payroll in 2015 would be right at $100mm.

I'll also sign up for Scherzer and Lester and you can pencil me in for Melky as well if they can get him on a 2-3 year deal, which is probably unlikely.

And if they want the Cuban (the guy on this list, not the guy that everyone scouted last week) that's fine too.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

Scherzer already turned down $144 for six years. Do you think he plans on coming down from that number?

I think I could really get down with a Yosmani Tomas signing.

I don't care. At both of them at $25mm per year, that's still a payroll less than what they had in 2010.

By $34mm.

Oh that's right, because you closely monitor all the threads.

I actually just click "Show unread posts since last visit" and then I read those.

Unless they're about TV shows, movies, politics, hockey, video games...

Whatever happened to Nicky Katt?  He's certainly better than Joaquin Phoenix.
