Would require brain usage. He's gotta keep that to a minimum.

Josh Donaldson filed at 11.8M, jays 11.35M

[Trouba95]

Josh Donaldson filed at 11.8M, jays 11.35M

 

Wow, only 450k...

[Grant77]

Josh Donaldson filed at 11.8M, jays 11.35M

 

Pretty reasonable. Let's hammer out a long term deal now.

[Zaun of the Dead]

hahahaha if they go to arbitration over 450 k that will be f***ing hilarious

[Spanky99]

'Tis but a scratch

 

But you have no arms!

 

It's just a flesh wound!

 

I'm going to watch this later tonight now, ya fekkers!

[Spanky99]

That does not mean you have to give him 3.9 Million...

 

Or you lose him.

[Spanky99]

Why?

[glory]

Apparently the Jays did not want to go over what Chris Davis got in arbitration ($7.05M), which is a record, but damn that's a small amount to fight over.

 

Chavez wants $4m and the Jays offered $3.6m. Either way that's way below MLBTR's projection.

[Spanky99]

Seems dumb to haggle with Donaldson over 450K when you just gave Smoak at least 450K too much.

 

It's simply a process, and Donaldson has eluded to that in the past and expected this. There won't be any hard feelings when he's awarded 12 million, regardless.

[DerangedIdoit]

The final payroll seems like it will be ~$140m. If you believe the $145m self imposed cap that leaves $5m. One would have to assume that some of that will be going to a legitimate Backup catcher.

Why would you give him 12 million when he filed for less?

Like who? Navarro and Flowers were pretty much the only available catches that are better than Thole. Shapiro is smart enough to know that the solid D is what matters, not 100 at-bats or whatever. Finding some additional depth would be nice, however.

Navarro signed with the CWS, and Flowers with the Braves.

 

Wilin Rosario might not be a horrible option, and should come cheap.

[Grant77]

Notice that I used past tense. I know they signed.

[DerangedIdoit]

Navarro signed with the CWS, and Flowers with the Braves.thats depends on yo

 

Wilin Rosario might not be a horrible option, and should come cheap.

 

He will probably be looking for a starting job and that depends on your definition of cheap. He might get $3m+.

The arbitrator, it's happened in the past. (IIRC)

[Boxcar]

The arbitrator, it's happened in the past. (IIRC)

 

what?

[DerangedIdoit]

The arbitrator comes up with their own evaluation of a players worth without any outside influences irregardless of figures requested,

[Grant77]

That's interesting, I wonder why. I was under the impression that they only had 2 choices.

[BigRed]

The arbitrator, it's happened in the past. (IIRC)

 

When? Do you have an example?

 

AFAIK the arbitrator picks either the value the player submitted, or the value the team submitted. No in between, no other values.

This isn't a word.

f*** this front office is aids. Giving broken down Saunders 2.9M. Useless Delabar 850k. But taking Donaldson to arbitration over 450k. Get the f*** out.

 

Honestly it's embarrassing.

i was under the impression that the arbitrator could only pick between the submitted figures....did this change?

This isn't a word.

 

It's in the dictionary so technically it's a word. The prefix is redundant but it has a certain rhythm to it.

Not all of them, but I'd suggest the word 'irrespective' if you like the sound of the prefix.

I thought the same folks if I'm not mistaken a team or 3 has been burned in this process with the player making more than the amount issued by the club.

This is Exactly what I'm preaching? Whether I'm right, not so sure.
