Cody Allen is finished.

JD will have a great year if he stays healthy... if so predictions for next contract? 4/100?

4/100? Are you serious? Have you been following the free agent market over the last two years?

[Brownie19]

If you had to pick today - which side do you want? Glasnow & Meadows or Archer? (considering contracts and years of control of course)

This is his age 33 season. He's playing for a contract from age 34 onwards. No way he gets a four year deal even if he has a vintage prime JD season, which he probably won't.

 

Still a good player, but he's probably looking at a 2-3 year deal max.

Found Shoemaker's replacement

"Still a good player"... he's one of the best players in baseball... one season off with injuries doesn't change that. He'll get at least 3 years.

As of now, just at 3rd base, I expect Bregman, Arenado, Rendon, J-Ram, Machado, Chapman would be considered higher value assets. So 'one of the best players in baseball', while true in 2016, no longer applies. And time is not on JD's side.

 

A 5 WAR 2019 though and he will get paid.

I think he'll do better than most of those guys (this season) but I'll check with Adam Lind's mom to know for sure.

Home on a Monday for the first time in a while and of course there are no afternoon games scheduled.

[Sorrow]

Sounds like Gio is getting his release, might be worth Shatkins offering a decent MLB deal as we need an arm and he could be traded to a contender.

s*** sucks. Got back in town this morning, hit the gym and ran some errands then turned on the tv at 1 assuming there would be at least a couple afternoon games on the holiday. No dice.

That's a productive day off. Well done.

 

I did the PRs, so, uhhh, yep. Gonna hit up my home gym this afternoon, though. Would've been more motivating with a ball game on, but just music will have to suffice.

That's because it's not a holiday. It's a paid day off for our Federal workers.

Eovaldi needs surgery on his elbow

if you haven't seen this - it's pretty cool. Now that framing is factored into WAR, we see that Cervelli actually posted a 5.9 WAR season in 2015.

MLBTR:

 

The Yankees announced Monday that they’ve signed veteran infielder Brad Miller to a minor league contract. The ISE Baseball client was recently designated for assignment by the Indians and elected free agency rather than accept an outright assignment to the minor leagues.

 

The 29-year-old Miller hit .250/.325/.417 with a homer and three doubles in his short time with the Indians but lost out on his roster spot when Cleveland activated Jason Kipnis from the injured list. Miller isn’t a strong defender but has experience all over the infield as well as in the outfield corners, making him an interesting depth pickup for an injury-decimated Yankees club. The lefty-swinging utilityman is a career .240/.313/.409 hitter in 2545 plate appearances, including a .243/.322/.433 line against right-handed pitching.

 

At present, the Yankees have Greg Bird, Troy Tulowitzki, Miguel Andujar and Didi Gregorius all on the injured list, which has forced the club to carry a hodgepodge of largely unproven replacements. Mike Ford, Gio Urshela and Tyler Wade are all logging at-bats around the infield right now (in addition to DJ LeMahieu and Gleyber Torres), and things in the outfield aren’t necessarily any better; Aaron Judge, Aaron Hicks and Giancarlo Stanton are all on the IL for the Yankees, leaving Clint Frazier, Brett Gardner and Mike Tauchman in the starting lineup. To their credit, however, both Frazier and the relatively unknown Tauchman have performed quite well.

Stand by for ridiculous outrage over a minor league depth signing.

Depth signing? he’ll be hitting cleanup tonight

BTW is it wrong that I sort of love the fact that Tulo hit a buck eighty two over five games and landed on the injured list? Edited April 23, 2019 by G-Snarls

That's what happens when you pimp a spring training HR from your former team.
