Around Baseball 2014

Other examples include:

 

Tulowitzki (Rockies), multiple players on the Yankees, Votto (Reds), Mauer (Twins), Fielder/Choo(Rangers), and others..

 

Wasn't Tulo ranked on FanGraphs as having one of the top trade values still, even with his contract?

[jaysblue]

Soriano retired today - he'll always be measured up to that big contract he signed. He was still a solid player regardless.

Tulo ranked 6th on the list.

And he'll be also remembered as the guy traded for A-Rod. The Rangers still wish they had taken Cano instead of him and Arias..

Not a crazy ask in my opinion, I think some team could give it to him. I predicted five years in the contest.

Which contest?

Not sure he'll ever be a 5 WAR player again. I'm sure after his postseason, it drove up his price.

[NorthOf49]

Which contest?

The annual free agent contest. There's a thread for it about a dozen spots down in the main forum. I don't want to link to it because people will whine. Thanks!

Rays announce their final 8 candidates for manager. Ibanez hasn't even retired from baseball. You think they want an inexperienced guy that's going to listen to the front office

Why not just put a link in your sig.

I feel like the Rays could be fubar w/o Maddon but I also feel like maybe he over-managed.

[jaysblue]

Wouldn't Dave Martinez be the ideal candidate? I'd definitely like to see Kevin Cash manage someday; I'm not sure about Raul Ibanez just yet haha

Acta seems like the ideal candidate to me.

I don't know if I can make it through the off-season....... f***

If they turned this into a reality show they could probably quadruple their annual earnings...

Holy s***... I just realized Wakamatsu is on this, talk about dark horse.

I'm sure it's sitting in the "Rays ideas to be rejected" file at the MLB office.

Acta is into advanced stats, correct?

More or less.

 

I always talk to him. He loves the OBP, K and GB rates, but he's not very fond of wRC+ or xFIP

Martin to meet with four teams with the Jays being one of them! so far! Cubs have already had thier meeting!

 

What do we need to offer Martin 4/ 17.5 ? What we thinking here? Or will we need a bigger hammer?

 

Also question part 2 if we sign Martin do you trade navarro( Cubs) or keep him?

You keep Martin and see if you can move Navarro (or use him as a back up) and move Dickey and Thole.

Illegal and would also damage our organizational reputation considerably

Yes, but keep in mind he's Domincan so we don't know exactly how high he can count.

Martin was first promoted to the majors due to an injury to Navarro
