Around Baseball 2015

[Stangstag]

Harold Reynolds on Matt Harvey:

 

"People were wondering how he would pitch after coming back from Tommy John surgery. He's only 7-5, but he's pitched almost 100 innings and has alot of strikeouts. I think he has pitched pretty well since his return to the mound."

 

How the f*** does this idiot have a job with one of the biggest sports networks in America? It's ridiculous how dumb he is.

Innings + strikeouts.....that's how part of this message board determines success.....is one of them Harrold Reynolds?

The point was that he basically said "oh well his record is 7-5 so he isn't doing THAT well"

[Angrioter]

Bryant 2-2, 2 dingers (2-run and grand salami)

Alfred Hitchcock would be proud.

Nice spot sir; another good pitching prosepct needlessly given away I wonder?

[jaysfan2014]

Twins win. All of the AL East outside of the Yankees are now out of the wild card, as the Angels are poised to win as well.

Indications are Dickey will be bought out after this season for $1M. With Stroman returning and many young pitchers on the farm and on the MLB roster, no surprise. Still need a veteran for 2016, though..

[BTS]

Well, Dickey looks like a replacement level starter so it definitely does not look like that option will get picked up. You can't even say "at least you can be sure he'll throw 200 useful innings" anymore.

 

It's shaping up to be a pretty crazy market for pitching and will all the cash coming off the books, I'd definitely expect the Blue Jays to make a move. Someone like Mike Leake could fill the innings void and they may be in on the bigger $$ guys too.

 

I wonder if someone like Kuma will be affordable after his lost season. Probably no interest in coming here, but has ace upside.

Kuma, Leake, Shark, Lackey, Chen... so many appealing options

[Captain Adama]

Former Jays' farmhand and all around cool guy David Rollins pitched out of the bullpen for Seattle, perfect appearance with a couple K's. He signed my hat and we talked a bit before his start when he played in Lansing.

 

He's useful as a good long man out of the pen who can strike guys out a decent clip and doesn't wall many.

[Horses Fart]

How much and who are off the books next year?

[ElNik2013]

So many appealing FA SP options. It's time for this franchise to play the FA game and keep it's prospects. Hopefully, the new president understands this and lets his GM know that trading prospects for FA contracts is dumb when you can go out and overpay in FA while keeping the 'spects.

[RealAccountant]

If the Jays selll high on some of this players they could setup the franchise for the next 5 years. Trade Bautista Encarnacion Burly Delabar Cecil Cola Dickey Estrada Navarro trade them all.for young mlb ready pitchers

Go and get 2-3 pitchers in return

Stop it. The team's still in contention, as is most of the AL, and we're not in dire financial straits like the Rays. No need to be selling.

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

You have to give a Lil to get something back too! We have more then enough offense! EE and Reyes to Seattle for Tiajaun

And Carson Smith, throw in half Thier remaining salary this year and we save 8 mill too! Pay 7-8 mill for Reyes moving forward too if they throw in Paul fry and millar or Marte too!

 

Take the 8 mill savings give it to Kc if they take Dickey and Thole for Wade Davis and we break even!

 

We have a new starter, and Two bullpen arms. Presto change Oh!

 

Call up Norris, send Cecil and Loup down to get fixed! Call up Two of either Boyd wolf or castro !

 

Plus we still have a Shanchez for the rotation or the pen when he gets back!

 

Playoffs and Future intact and looking soo bright gotta wear shades! lol

Right now is the time to rebuild the rotation

 

What do we have going forward. Next year the rotation is

 

Stroman coming back from injury

Hutch (3rd or 4th starter at best)

Sanchez

Norris (assuming he doesn't fail.)

Boyd

 

That is bad

 

That is 100 losses bad.

Holy s***, CWS position players have been worth -3.5 fWAR this year.

[jaysfan2014]

What the heck was that?? Bad misplay by Cespedes there.

[SaskJaysFan_2]

How much and who are off the books next year?

 

I don't know for sure, but here's a guess:

 

1. Dickey, $10M

2. MB, $18M

3. Romero, $7.5M

4. Izturis, $3M

5. Thole, $1M

6. Navarro, $6M

 

So, ~ $45M?

 

Are Bill Caudil, Frank Thomas or BJ Ryan still under contract?

[GD]

a lot of money coming off the books will go to contract raises and arbitration and extensions

 

aaaand north beat me

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

What? Lol wrong game day thread!

[BTS]

And then Bautista will get a raise to probably 20+ M per year for 2017.

Why would he aspire to be an MLB GM when he's a real accountant?

Miami's lineup today:

 

Gordon

Yelich

Hechavarria

Bour

Gillespie

Dietrich

Ozuna

Mathis

Latos

 

That's bordering on unprofessional.
