Need Some Advice- Would You Resign These 2 MR?

The Game · 10-11-2013, 02:14 AM

I really like both players for several reasons. Limbo Rush, other then the fact I use a FG of Lil Wayne, is a clone of Scott Radinksy my all time favorite reliever. Joe King ( Fg of Lorenzo Barcelo) is a clone of Donn Pall, my 2nd all time favorite reliever.
Both have had solid careers. Rush has played for EC his entire career except for one season while I was with WB. Mostly a left handed specialist. King gets used slightly less but is having a stellar season. He seems o have one good year followed by a bad year.
I tried to low ball King and he come down a bit from his 280K demand (1985 finances) but not sure if $254 is low enough. I am in Commish mode so in that regard I have enough to resign him, I will have enough to resign both at the end of the season with 3 players making over 500K as FA. I am 2nd in payroll now. I have a ton of pitching prospects, none that I think are a sure bet. I have a great SU and a great CL. I had a chance earlier in the year to get rush at 160K I should have done that deal then at 344 K and almost 35 yrs old I am not sure on this one, especially since my AAA is full of lefties.
Comments welcome.

another SS.

My ML SP staff is excellent. 5 solid SP 3 RHP, 2 LHP I also have a RHP who can start in the pen, although he seems at times ineffective and is up for arbitration and I might not offer him it.

Based on what I see here, I would definitely think that Morales is ready to come up from AAA and be one of your bullpen lefties. So I voted for "wait til offseason" and see which one of these two you could get for cheaper at that time... or see who else comes onto the market. That 35 year old range gets scary... as that's when guys tend to fall off a cliff from one season to the next.
