2015 - the market for OF'ers

[BigCecil]

Haven't been on much lately so I might have missed someone posting this but I thought it was a decent analysis by Davidi.

 

Gives some insight into Melky's relative worth around the league.

Look what Ganderson got...no why Melky signs for less. Which is too much of a gamble for Jays. Take the first round pick

take the 1st round pick, use the cash elsewhere. let Pillar be the starting LF next season for teh .265 BA .268 OBP 5 BBs in 162 games lulz.

I know this won't happen but having a platoon of Rasmus/John Mayberry in LF could be decent. This would only work on the assumption that Rasmus signs for a reasonable one year contract. He could also play CF to give Gose a breather every now and then.

Granderson has way more power than Melky. I don't think teams will be lining up a Granderson type contract for a guy who might only hit 15 hr as a corner outfielder whos a defensive liability.

Rasmus isn't going to sign a deal to be a platoon in LF next year. He probably wants to start fresh anyways considering how bad this season has been.

Which is why i said it wouldn't happen. Esp. Since we just benched him for the remaining of the year. In said scenario though i would play him everyday in LF vs Righty pitching and some of the time in CF vs Lefty pitching to spell Gose. So he would get plenty of playing time.

 

But ya...when you bench a guy for the remaining of the year he's clearly not coming back. If we hadn't though and he truly liked playing here he strikes me as a guy that doesn't really care for breaking the bank and would make a nice option given his skill set.
