Newb Question. Will Kyle Schwarber have catcher eligibility next year in Yahoo?

 

I doubt it but I think he should.

[The Cats Ass]

Anyone looking for some cheap closers/setup men? Have a handful that I could move for a pick or pick upgrade. If any of them interest you or you want a cheap closer hit me up!

 

Brandon Kintzler (MIN - RP)

Bryan Shaw (CLE - RP)

Fernando Rodney (MIA - RP)

Jeanmar Gómez (PHI - RP)

Steve Cishek (SEA - RP)

 

Also, if someone is looking for a cheap CFer, Jacoby Ellsbury (NYY - CF) can be had.

Wanting to test the Joey Votto market. Looking for at least one promising young hitter +. This does not mean he will be gone this week, just wanting to gauge value and interested parties for the offseason. Edited November 11, 2016 by L54

Who knows with pitchers man...he's just high overall upside to me.

[jays4life19]

Looking to package Rays top prospect SS Willy Adames + Matz for an ace. I have Swanson at SS, and i'm quite high on him so i can move Adames.

 

Here's the most recent write up on Adames via BA.

 

Born: Sept. 2, 1995. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-1. Wt.: 180. Signed: Dominican Republic, 2012. Signed by: Aldo Perez/Ramon Perez/Miguel Garcia (Tigers).

SCOUTING GRADES

Batting: 60.

Power: 55.

Speed: 50.

Defense: 55.

Arm: 55.

Based on 20-80 scouting scale—where 50 represents major league average—and future projection rather than present tools.

 

Background: The Rays’ 2014 trade of David Price signaled a transition from one era to another, as the organization soon saw a change of management and leadership in the baseball operations department. Adames, the lone prospect acquired in the Price trade, has since established himself as the Rays’ top prospect, and he’s put himself in the discussion among the best position prospects in baseball. Signed as an international free agent by the Tigers for $420,000 in 2012, Adames advanced through the low minors rapidly. The Tigers skipped him past their domestic Rookie-level affiliates and assigned him to low Class A West Michigan for his U.S. debut as an 18-year-old in 2014. After heading to the Rays as the centerpiece of the Price trade, Adames hit the ground running, and he’s made steady progress and adjustments as he’s climbed the minor league ladder. He reached Double-A Montgomery in 2016 and led the Southern League with 74 walks and ranked third with 31 doubles. He led all SL shortstops with 11 home runs.

 

Scouting Report: In 2014, Adames showed power to his pull side and the ability to drive the ball to the wall in center field. His power has steadily developed as he’s matured physically, and in 2016 he showed the ability to drive the ball out to the opposite field in game situations. Offensively, Adames earns plus grades for his hit tool and raw power, though scouts see his power playing more in the way of hard line drives, with annual home run total projections ranging from 15-25. He has above-average bat speed and the loose wrists to control the barrel, make late adjustments and square up pitches with late movement. He shows both the ability to stay inside the ball and to turn on inside pitches. He works deep counts and isn’t afraid of hitting with two strikes. Adames’ timing at the plate has improved from year to year, and his strikeout rate declined to 21 percent in 2016, down from 27 percent in 2015. Defensively, he continued to endear himself to scouts in 2016. Adames has plus hands and a well-timed internal clock, and he doesn’t rush plays or play nervously in the field. He lacks exceptional range and explosive foot speed, and he’s more of an average runner on the basepaths, but his pure arm strength typically plays above-average. He has an ability to get his feet set and make accurate throws consistently, though he can flash plus arm strength when needed. In addition to his well-rounded assortment of tools, Adames has exceptional makeup, both in terms of his work ethic and character. He quickly achieved fluency in English and connects well with American players as well as other Latin Americans. Rays officials laud his leadership ability and enthusiasm for game-day preparation.

 

The Future: Overall, Adames has the total package that teams look for in top prospects, with impact tools on both sides of the ball and the personality to become a marketable franchise player. In 2017, Adames figures to spend the season at Triple-A Durham. He projects as the Rays’ shortstop of the future,with the ability to hit somewhere in the middle of the lineup.

OK traded Odor to Dinger for Danny Duffy.

 

Also, are our rosters frozen now, or can we still pick up free agents?

The yahoo page is dead for our purposes. All roster management is done through the sheet, so no picking up free agents.

Yap

[Dr. Dinger]

Finally got my hands on that balding, pube-faced son of a bitch

[Dr. Dinger]

Well I gotta replace Duffy's innings, so I'm going to turn around and flip Adrian Gonzalez to BTS for Marco Estrada.

[BTS]

Yup. The Estrada era ends after 55 innings on my team.

[Dr. Dinger]

Ah crap, I just realized Gattis won't have OF next season. Poop. I guess I could trade one of him or Grandal, probably OB. Dee Gordon is also available cheap now.

[BTS]

Ass Dribble or Peraza available for a SP. Dribble was really good this year!
