Around Baseball 2015

Sounds like you and I have been in a lot worse than that little tizzy. Puig is a monster. If he really wanted to do some damage pity help the fool.

 

lol... yup, just a dust up. Good on them for not wasting money and time on a few punches, mind you, I wouldn't want to be on the other end of them punches...

What do you guys think Samardzija is gonna get? Could be a good buy low.

Shark suxxxxxx, and he'll likely get too much.

Some people have him getting a 1 year deal around 20 mil. One guy has 6/132 lol. Seems like most say somewhere around 4-5 years and 65-85 mil.

Interesting to see if he bounces back. Velocity is still there.

Five year $80-$85M?

Would you take Happ at three years $36 ($12per) or Shark five years $80M ($16per).

[Frenchsoup]

Shark and Zimmerman cost a first rounder as well guys.

Shark in a heartbeat at that price. I think backloaded we can still make that deal.

1 year too much... the AAV makes sense.

Does he suck? He had one bad year with the worst defense in the MLB playing behind him. Projections look similar to Zimmerman whatever that's worth.

I picked 6/129? Had to have been wasted?

Woah... didn't even take that into consideration.

Happ. Far less commitment for a similar class pitcher, especially if we buy into the massive decline Shark took last season (in K/9, FIP, xFIP, etc). I'll take 3 years of 2012-2014 Happ with the chance that he did figure something out in Pittsburgh, over inconsistent Shark for 5 years.

Wat?

[flafson]

Wonder how Zimmermann will fare in the AL.

[King]

Wat?

Zimmerman signed for 5-years, $110M. That's actually a reasonable contract. Will Price really get twice as much as this? Price is loved, effective, and we don't lose a draft pick. I hope he is still in play for the Jays.

It would be far from shocking if a guy like Happ outperformed him. Those types of pitchers haven't fared well historically when it comes to league switches.

Yep nice deal for the Tigers, 5 years and a reasonable amount for a top of the rotation starter.

I don't think it will even be close. Zimmerman will do just fine in Detroit. Happ is a #4 pitcher and he could easily go back to his career avg numbers. Zimmerman has been dominant the last 5 years, not just in 60 innings that Blue Jays fans are focusing Happ's numbers on.

I'm talking about Zimmermann, meat. Yeah, Shark will take a year out west.

I think it's terrible for them. That money might have been better spent on an Alex Gordon and maybe a Span.

[BTS]

Projected fWAR:

 

Zimmermann = 2.8

Happ = 2.0

Yeah, we were discussing Shark.

Key word. I'll take the over on Zimmerman.

And they lose a pick. Wowzers!

[BTS]

I think 2.8 is pretty reasonable considering he's typically in the 3-3.5 range and is entering his age-30 season. Error bars are bigger on Happ, but I'm happier with a 3/36 commitment to him than a 5/110 to Zimmermann. There's also the lost first round pick.
