Not really that crazy, or relevant. What is crazy is how pissy you get over the concept that casual bandwagon fans even exist.

 

It's funny you say that. Because I've seen you tell me to stop and then you go and make comments to the same f***tards.

"TSN’s Rick Westhead reported the demand as US$150-million over five years; Bautista, in Dunedin, denied it. A team source, tellingly, let slip to the Star’s Richard Griffin that the number was actually higher."

MLB network has acknowledged the request, yet shoot it down as a specific request, weird? They think at most he's worth 4 a 100 million. Pretty rich, regardless.

I think Jose is looking for 4/120.

 

Probably cares more about a longer term (more guaranteed money)

Low leverage=100 wRC+

Medium leverge = 101 wRC+

High Leverage = 93 wRC+ (better reliever in)

 

Base empty = 96 wRC+ (better pitcher, thats why bases are empty)

Men on = 105 wRC+ (worse pitcher, hence men on base)

Men in scoring = 102 wRC+ (worse pitcher, but sometimes reliever brought in)

 

When adjusting for quality of competition, I'm sure it is all the same.

 

All right well that's a pretty decent analysis you have there

 

It's hard to argue against well presented facts

 

I guess Bautista is not that clutch ( though I always see him completely through - perception )

Are people forgetting that Bautista will be 36.5 when April 2017 starts?

It's not like he has a injury free history. He seems to have back issues every other year. He really shouldn't have that much leverage unless there are some really dumb GMs out there.

 

I've said this before, I'd much rather tie up my money in Donaldson/Stroman in 2-3 years than be lugging a 25/30 million declining Bautista. He is also a pompous dick and while the bat flip was sick, he is so frustrating to watch when he is at bat complaning all the time.

 

Whiny needs to either put up 5 WAR this year to even have a chance at at 100+ contract.

Yeah, what he did yesterday was a dick head move right before the start of ST, not to mention unprofessional with him calling out ownership for no reason. Instead of talking about baseball, we are discussing this s***. He had to have done this on purpose, because he seems like a smart guy. Not sure what the motive is, though. If anything, taking shots at Rogers is only going to make them turn the media against him, and it will be a circus all year.

 

Just a stupid, unnecessary move on his part. It's not like the Jays can trade him either since, aside from the 10/5 rights, he presents too much value on their win curve. He'd have to be moved for a comparable talent + have to agree to the swap, one being very unlikely and the other being semi-unlikely. Just have to hope he has a monster year and then take the comp pick.

It might have already happened. Wouldn't be surprised at all if the leaked 150M number was Rogers punching back.

Ya. At first I saw this as all business and didn't mind his comments. I'm a big fan of his. But they are starting to grate on me for the timing and some of the other reasons mentioned. I like him calling out Rogers in a way, but I want this team to win and the focus on that. As far as him giving the Jays a hometown discount that's only in hindsight. He got a big long term deal after one monster year. There was risk on both sides.
