Offseason Roster Thread

[BTS]

Both guys will have multiple 20M+ AAV offers ranging 3-5 years.

 

Assuming they play to their standards this year, yes they will.

[burlingtonbandit]

Assuming EE stays at DH his market is a lot smaller. A lot of the big money AL teams have money tied up in 1B/DHs already. Houston seems one of the only clubs that is a fit. Boston would be great but they would have to get rid of Hanley.

Barack Obama?

Barack Obama?

 

I'm sure you were kidding of course

 

It's in this thread for a reason

[TheHurl]

Barack Obama?

 

Please they didn't have game shows in Kenya

 

As for that pic, it's crazy how little Earl has changed.

[TheHurl]

Do you think the FO will extend both EE and JB?

 

What sort of contract would it take, 3-year, $50M for each of them?

Mostly everyone just likes to whine.

I'm just confused.

 

You can't make any threads because we have this general jays discussion thread.

 

When I bring up a topic, I'm directed to go to other threads that probably haven't been updated with anything for weeks.

 

Can't win.

Are u dumn?

 

You asked what it would take for an EE/Bautista contract extension, so Hurl posted a link to a recent thread on the topic.

All he did was provide you with a link to a recent discussion on the same topic...

[raku1108]

While a preference for Colabello is reasonable, please think before you post. Why didn't Estrada get 100 million when he was so good in the playoffs?

Like most ppl really think before they post? Just my own opinion that $3.9M could have been saved for other upgrades.

What does 3.9 million get you though? That's less than half a WAR on the current market. I suppose it could get you a reliever but probably not a very good one. But it's not like signing Smoak precludes that from happening anyway.

The internet would be a much better place if people did.

[raku1108]

pedro ciriaco would be a nice fit if he accepts $1.5M.... capable of 2B, 3B, SS and got decent batting avg.

Didn't mean using just $3.9M for a single reliever... that $ goes back to the FA signing pool. I'm happy with Bello as primary 1B.

Pedro Ciriaco is very bad.

[raku1108]

well... batting at .264 last season to me is better than Goins' bat for sure... and we just need a backup IF anyway... unless u think Kawasaki is much better? also keep in mind we don't know if Travis can last a whole season healthy

He had a higher avg, but, lower obp and the same slg as Ryan Goins.

[Boxcar]

Yeah, like I said it's a reasonable opinion. What does his playoff performance matter, though? Please learn about sample sizes.

I wish one of these days a player when giving an interview after just signing says I came here solely because the team offered me the most term/money. I don't really care about the city and 3/36 is why I am doing this interview.

 

Everyone knows the truth but instead we listen all this trash about the city, fans and "fit".

There are no cut and dry rules about thread-making and admittedly I play favourites when moving threads. I did post in the Mods Forum/hottub that we should be a little more lenient in the off-season about moving threads as it likely won't be pushing often referenced threads down.

 

In this case though I was just letting you know that there was a thread made where you can get opinions on this subject.

What they are saying Raku is that this forum is a very big supporter of more advanced ways of analyzing baseball and baseball players. I would suggest that you read this thread http://www.bluejaysmessageboard.com/threads/5025-Sabermetrics-Introduction-and-Discussion. If you are here to be educated, there are a lot of guys here that can do that for you. If you are not going to put an effort out to learn, then maybe there are other boards better suited for you. I hope this helps make your stay here a little more report button free.
