Around Baseball 2018

[Laika]

Avisail Garcia is like Teoscar Hernandez except fatter and somehow better at defense and baserunning.

[Pendleton]

If it's going to be a down/transitional year, Hamilton would at least be fun to watch.

Haha I definitely assumed he was bad at both

[Daniel Labude]

What is interesting is that the White Sox trade a catcher for a RP/closer...all while we may be trading Martin (while playing his contract)....possible connection?

Doubt it. They are just clearing room for future fantasy stud Zack Collins.

[Daniel Labude]

Would love to see Dane Dunning for Martin...with us paying Martin's contract

He will come up when Pentecost does

[BTS]

Shelby Miller non-tendered. Jaysblue wins!

[Orgfiller]

Jonathan Schoop non-tendered. Would love to pick him up to replace Travis, even if he's a free agent in a year. Could be a Smoak like pickup and potential buy low extension candidate.

I like that idea. Little risk, good defense, and if he hits like he did in 2017 he could bring something worthwhile at the deadline when Bichette is potentially readyish.

[BTS]

Angels non-tendered Blake Parker instead of paying a projected 3.1M. Weirdest one of the day.

Is it possible for the Orioles to lose more games in 2019 than they did this year??

He's a stud...

Same with Matt Davidson. Me and Spanky are tied now.

Even Matt Shoemaker which was weird.

[jaysblue]

He's a stud...

 

Shall we trade one non-tendered stud for another?

[Spanky__99]

Shall we trade one non-tendered stud for another?

 

No, lol.

[Jimcanuck]

Can a semi-respectable team be built on the cheap using these cast offs and the non-QOs? Sure seems so

That would be one of the worst teams in the league, with only the Orioles being comfortably worse for me.

[glory]

Tim Beckham was non tendered. He was bad in 2018 but there is a whole laundry list of players I’d rather see as a utility infielder rather than Urena so he seems intriguing for that reason.

[Agk47]

The d is terrible but that offender has to be better than the 2018 jays!

 

 

Schoop, hunter strickland, shoemaker, Shelby Miller, Chris Tillman, Pomeranz, cargo, boxburger....

 

Lots of potential rebound candidates.

 

I wonder if the jays will target any.

[Boxcar]

Yan Gomes to the Nats for Daniel Johnson, Jefry Rodriguez and a PTBNL.

 

Seems like a pretty s***** deal for the Indians considering Gomes has 3 years left on his deal.

some of the pitchers, i would expect

Schoop was non-tendered by the Brewers not the Orioles. He was traded for 3 prospects late last season and was terrible the rest of the year.
