Around Baseball 2014

[Dylan]

When will we ever get another jose/eddy duo for only 23mil a season.. such a shame were not doing anything with it.

[SaskJaysFan_2]

really good summary of the 2014 Jays roster value

It works out well that a bunch of the guys with negative value are FA's or can have their asses bought out after this season. Very lucky.

[RealAccountant]

Based on that gif, AA is right. His bullpen provided a negative value of almost 20M

[SaskJaysFan_2]

I was a little surprised McGowan's value was so negative. I thought he'd be even steven with his low salary.

[baseballsss]

Good question. I guess it doesn't matter much (they're both only going to pitch once anyway).Maybe they prefer Price at home?

 

Pitch price on 3 days rest if there's elimination?

[LongTimeReader]

Dickey's F$ doesn't include his 5 DRS, possible 5-10 runs from Dickey Effect, and it also is at a conservative $5M/WAR.

 

Good points.

 

I hate to go down this path but if $5M/WAR is conservative then Trout is worth more than some teams entire salary...

hey your screen name is a lot like mine.

Aw. You guys should be friends.

[jaysfan2014]

Former Yankees OF prospect Jose Tabata has been DFAd by the Pirates. Wonder if the Jays should take a flyer on him?

[SaskJaysFan_2]

You took the handle I wanted! lol

 

I'm from Saskatoon, you?

[reedjohnsonfan]

Jose Tabata DFA. Wouldn't be surprised if the Jays put a claim in.

[glory]

Crap. Tabata is going to be the starting LF next season, isn't he?

[glory]

2015: $4.0M

2016: $4.5M

2017: $6.5M (team option, $250k buyout)

2018: $7.5M (team option, $250k buyout)

2019: $8.5M (team option, $250k buyout)

 

He is 26. Best seasons were a 1.9 WAR in 2010 and 1.1 WAR in 2013. Seems like a decent defensive LF but terrible CF and RF.

 

Yep, he'll be a Blue Jay soon. Pencil him in.

Reading the first 4 posts of that thread gave my liver cancer lung cancer... I had to stop before I developed cancer of the everything.

Toooooo good

Does mac ever post on this board? He never made the transition haha.

I'm trying to remember what his posting style was like. He was in a lot of arguments but I don't remember much about his actual writing. I think it was a lot like Ju1ced.

If i remember correctly he was not as attack based as ole Ju1cey...... But he did always have to get his point across. It has been a while.

[LongTimeReader]

Imagine the Jays made the play-offs, all the other fans would laugh at our lazy-sloppy players...

[GD]

Josh Beckett retires.

 

Daniel Murphy could be traded. Do it.

[Angrioter]

Arencibia is now a FA and can be signed because he declined outright. Do it AA.

 

Perfect platoon partner for Adam Lind

[Angrioter]

Rangers expected to decline $13.5M option on Alex Rios for next season.

The bat can be fixed

Might be a solid replacement for Melky at a much cheaper price tag.

[LongTimeReader]

No baseball for 2 days... depression starting to sink in...

[BTS]

Might be a solid replacement for Melky at a much cheaper price tag.

 

He's basically a replacement-level hack now.

There seems to be a trend of wanting to get back players we ditched...

 

-Hill

-Rios

-Marcum

-Davis

-Gomes

-Alvarez

-Hetch (sorta)

-Arencibia (not serious)

 

Maybe we shouldn't have given them up to begin with?

 

Also, why would they come back? That's degrading.

It makes me sad that maybe, just maybe Doc was thinking of coming back but couldn't.
