Around Baseball 2015

[Terminator]

Damn.

 

Lowe got 2 years, 13 mil. Probably wise to pass on that.

Looks like the Red Sox just robbed the Mariners...

[BTS]

Smith, Uehara, Kimbrel, Tazawa is absolute filth.

[HERPDERP]

Would you have done Hutch for Smith?

[BTS]

Would you have done Hutch for Smith?

 

Without question.

[Brownie19]

70 innings of Smith was almost as valuable as 193 innings by Miley last year.....although I do think Miley is a very solid starter.

[Frenchsoup]

Koji will be 41 at the start of the season. I doubt he survives this year.

Having Hanley play in LF most certainly ruined the pitching lines of many Red Sox pitchers

[Dr. Dinger]

Smith is hurt. Hopefully his elbow blows out and they lose a year of him.

Life expectancy in Japan is 83.

Miley is actually a very good buy for the Mariners. Over the past 3 years his Hard% has gone down, his xFIP was on a steady decline as well, last year with the Sox aside. His ERA was bad but was far worse than his FIP and xFIP. Moving to a pitchers park like Seattle he'll likely put up a 3 WAR season.

he is?

He ain't in Japan anymore. He has John Farrell controlling his fate.

Kris Bryant and Maikel Franco have filed grievances about manipulation of service time

[Laika]

CJ Wilson is on the trade block.

 

It's only an interesting note because with his skill level, age, and $20M contract, he should be worth a little bit less than Dickey. So maybe if he gets dealt you can get a feel for Dickey's trade value.

[BTS]

Rockies sign Motte and Qualls. Kinds disappointed that Qualls is off the board.

[canadiansportsjunkie]

Iwakuma was the guy I wish we went after.

[BTS]

Iwakuma was the guy I wish we went after.

 

I'm sure a phone call was made. The west coast is a lot closer to Japan. There was probably zero chance of him leaving that area.

[BTS]

2/10 for Motte and 2/6 for Qualls.

[The Cats Ass]

2/10 for Motte and 2/6 for Qualls.

 

Would have liked Qualls on that deal.

Does he come with a personal catcher too?

[BTS]

Would have liked Qualls on that deal.

 

Updated number is 2/12 for Qualls. A bit more than I expected him to get.

[Cyborg]

Updated number is 2/12 for Qualls. A bit more than I expected him to get.

Dude in org "ya we got him for $6M for 2 years!".

Reporter "he must mean $6M for the entire deal!"

[G-Snarls]

 

[Frag]

There goes a True Cardinal

Ohhh. That I don't like so much.

MLBTR comment:

 

"Do you think that that Cards would trade Wong? What about with the Angels for C.J. Wilson and a prospect?"
