Crazy Idea
Have a couple of crazy ideas.1. Sign Bengie Molina2. Sign Jeff WeaverIt seems that both men have been swept under the rug and you might be able to get a very good performer for less than market value....

I don't understand why nobody's gone after Jeff Weaver yet. I'd have been trying to get him even if Roger was already back on the roster.Molina I like more than the catcher we have, but seeing as how...

Byun-Hyum Kim is also still available. I think he could really help this team.
View ArticleRe: Crazy Idea
Kim resigned with the Rockies tonight for I think 1.5 mil and Weaver I believe is a Boras guy. I am sure Drayton and Purp are gonna stay away from Boras's guys for a while after being burned by the...

It's hard for me to believe that's all it took to sign Kim...Boras or no Boras Weaver would be a good addition to the team on the field. I'd certainly bite if he was willing to take a two year deal...

It is a bit surprising that I haven't heard any teams mentioned as being interested in Jeff Weaver. Just guessing here, but two reasons come immediately to mind. Weaver did a lot of damage to his...

You bring up good points Amy. I would like to mention that Dodger Stadium is basically neutral with regards to home runs though. It's a pitcher's park, but not because it keeps more balls from going...

Hes durable and eats up tons of innings, but Id rather use one of our guys and save the money personally. Weaver wouldnt be a horrible choice, but I couldnt see myself spending that much money on a...

Yeah, I thought about the Boras angle, but wouldn't getting Boras to agree to a deal when WE have the ball in our court be the ultimate revenge. I can see the steam coming out of his ears if he was...

Barzilla, those are not crazy ideas at all. I like both ideas, but doubt they will happen. I have mentioned Weaver in the past. He has very good stuff, and I was pretty impressed when he shut out the...

LA Times reports that Boras wants Weaver pay comparable to what he negotiated for Washburn ($9.5 mil/yr) in a 3 year deal with 4th year option. I doubt that Weaver will fall into the Astros price...

Quote:Which do you think would help the Astros more: sign Trevor Miller for $1.5 mil or pay say a $1 million more for Molina? In my mind a backup catcher is more important than a middle reliever....

Jack, I didn't mean to imply that it is an either/or situation in terms of Astros decision making. I was trying to make a point about relative value, i.e., if a quality starting catcher is available...
View ArticleRe: Crazy Idea
The Angels are rumored to be in talks with Weaver. Also his homerun numbers last year were pretty pathetic and he was pitching half his games in Dodger stadium.

Yeah, Weaver will have to be on the market another few weeks before he gets that desperate. Molina will not sign a one year deal to be a part-time catcher because it's not in his best interest. You...
