Around Baseball 2014

[Laika]

Yeah, I agree. I'm just not sure I'd consider him near elite. He's good, and I'd love to have him, but not as good as people are making him out to be imo.

 

I think he's very good, but he's pitched basically every other game for the last five years and he'll make like 8M this season... I don't really think he should have substantial trade value. Small asset at best.

Hear nats have interest in yunel escobar. Escobar for clippard may make sense as match.

Yunel has indeed been traded to nats.

 

I don't understand this from the A's. They've been chasing Yunel for years and he fits their team well

The Houston Astros effect.

 

Trading relievers at the deadline.

[Jimcanuck]

that wasn't why

 

he didn't do the eye black thing with the Rays did he

[ElNik2013]

Escobar has little trade value around MLB, whether some like it or not. This is how AA was able to get him for a reliever (?). The Marlins only took him from the Jays in that infamous trade to avoid having to send more $ to the Jays since the Jays were gonna release him and eat his contract.

 

 

Just to be clear, this doesn't mean I think he's a bad player, but we have to accept his baggage weighs down his legit value.

AA was able to get him for a reliever (?)

 

IIRC, two relievers and two shortstops for Y. Escobar and some god awful no control flame thrower whose name I seem to have finally managed to suppress from my memory.

RIP Yeralf. Over $500K signing if I recall correctly.

 

Of course he could have had his life spared if they put a strikezone on other cars as there is no way he'd hit it. Too Soon?

That's pretty scummy...

[jaysfan2014]

MLB giving the royal screw job to the O's.. giving the All-Star Game to San Diego instead of Baltimore(officially). Guess MLB doesn't want to go near that MASN dispute..

I thought that was in stone, it worked for the IBL's.

[burlingtonbandit]

 

Great signing.

[Spanky__99]

Agreed, loved it last year.

[Angrioter]

 

Great signing.

 

thread please

[Spanky__99]

thread please

 

Why?

[Stangstag]

 

Great signing.

 

Good pickup.

[Angrioter]

Why?

 

'cause is a great news. Dirks healthy is a good player

[baubau]

 

Great signing.

 

Yes! Said it in the Ichiro thread, but if they were looking for a backup OF Dirks would be best. Could even mean we may not see Pillar as much! I am loving AA this offseason.
