Around SBN: Cowboys Draft 2012: The Big Board Version 3.0

Rosenthal notes that this is in response to Fauxberto's situation. Also interesting and a previously mentioned FA target Cespedes is officially available and not interested in Miami.

I anxiously check the internet every few hours, even sneaking off at work to try and get some kind of update, hoping I will stumble onto the news that we signed a guy like Oswalt or traded for an all-star first basemen….but ultimately I think this is going to be like a few years ago when the Marlins seemingly dumped Cabrera to the Tigers and I woke up every morning waiting for the news that we traded for Jason Bay or Dan Haren and all we came up with was Jamie Carroll.

Christopher Colombus got more tail in 1492 than you get in a lifetime.

Give him a year and eight million.

am I not seeing something here? this is a slam dunk at that cost

I like ex-Phillies prospects.

Won’t happen.

Looks like he wants to sign in Texas or St. Louis

St. Louis seems to be offering 5 mil at the moment. I can’t see him signing for that little unless Berkman is that good of a salesman.

My rule of thumb, is that players who are particularly choosy about who they’ll sign with aren’t signing in Cleveland.

I just got confirmation that we were the high bid on CPena.

If Hoynes was a reporter could he find this piece of information as well?

by JK in CBus on Jan 26, 2012 10:24 AM EST up reply actions  

Yes with "if’ being the operative word.

by stuart dean on Jan 26, 2012 10:39 AM EST up reply actions  

At least we are trying. Too bad the Cleveland is viewed as such an unattractive place to play that Pena and Beltran both opted for other teams despite us being willing to spend the money.

Sucks.

If only the offseason happened in spring.

If it makes you feel any better, our offseason usually begins about mid-summer.

I blame Ichiro.

Keri’s piece had the Red Sox giving him a solid 10. It almost is a lock he’s going to Texas, St. Louis or Boston I’d imagine unless somehow Antonetti blew him out of the water.

I don’t think Oswalt is coming our way. I’d still be happy passenger on the Rich Harden train, though.

I also wouldn’t mind a minor league deal for one of the scrap-heap guys (Garland, Davies)

by APV on Jan 26, 2012 9:04 AM EST up reply actions  

Just not Wayne Garland…

Too soon.

I hear he has finally perfected his knuckler.

by kennesawmountainwahoo on Jan 27, 2012 7:58 PM EST up reply actions  

Considering Richard isn’t even his given first name? Dude’s asking for it.

by ameliorate on Jan 26, 2012 12:57 PM EST up reply actions  

I would love to see Oswalt sign with us, it seems simialr tot he Milwood deal… Give him a shot to prove he is healthy and sign a longer term deal. I also would love to see any of the scrap heap guys given a shot…

by AdaminFL on Jan 26, 2012 9:37 AM EST reply actions  

Roy Oswalt’s shoulder problems as a younger pitcher were cured when he electrocuted himself on a car battery.

Not making this up.

by afh4 on Jan 26, 2012 9:46 AM EST reply actions  

I’m always afraid of doing that

by APV on Jan 26, 2012 9:56 AM EST up reply actions  

New market inefficiency!

by emd2k3 on Jan 26, 2012 12:46 PM EST up reply actions  

Maybe we should sign him to our electrocuting-edge medical team.

You enjoyed that, huh?

Fine. Rec.

We’re now in the pivotal point of the off season where the good free agent fits take less dollars to go to markets other than Cleveland (Beltran, Pena, Oswalt).

by cheech99 on Jan 26, 2012 3:32 PM EST reply actions  

Heyman is saying that Oswalt has rejected a $10M offer from the Tigers to take less money somewhere closer to the south (Texas or St. Louis).

I doubt the Indians are going to overpay any more than that, if even at the level.

by afh4 on Jan 28, 2012 8:41 AM EST reply actions  

Just happy he’s passing on Detroit
