Around Baseball 2019

So Smith rejected the QO for an extra 2/21M? That seems dumb maybe?

 

Gets out of SF, a team a long way from contention.

Yes, not to mention the guaranteed cash. Nice for him.

[Spanky__99]

Teams must have metrics that tell them high leverage RP's are worth a lot more than we see.

 

RA9 WAR, SIERA, +WPA and RE24 is really good, plus tons of trackman and whatever else we're not privy to. Looks fine the more I think for both parties. Oh man... Giles is worth a fortune.

Ya, and I wonder if this means AA is ready to deal

 

Pache would be a good get, Gold Glover in CF

Pache is one of the top prospects in baseball and he finally started hitting this year. We're not getting him for Ken Giles.

Damn, Braves give Will Smith 3/40

 

Should be noted that he had the draft pick attached to him so for the Braves they're probably paying closer to 3/45-50 for him if I had to give a rough estimate. It's probably a fair deal and makes sense for a team like Atlanta which is contending and with a bunch of really good contracts already in the books, although I don't think I would personally pay that much for Will Smith in a vacuum.

Agreed, Giles alone would return a 50-100 prospect. Pache is in the top 25.

I still can't wrap my head around the Braves choosing to pay Melancon 14M next year.

[Spanky__99]

 

Lol @ the Braves.

 

lol... hopefully they get lucky and Smith gets the top of the order more than not, lol.

Braves need to upgrade at C don't they?

 

Giles + Jansen for Pache + SP Prospect.

Wait what, we're getting +++

Braves have a $100M payroll, they can just sign Grandal, although I suspect they are going for a big name pitcher

 

edit - the $100M does not include JD obv

JD's out, and Riley slides in at 3rd.

I can't believe we traded a MVP calibre player away! /s

[Ray]

Ben Cherington is the new Pirates GM, per Bob Nightengales' Twitter

 

Seems like a big hit on the front office side, but I'm thankful for all the stuff he's done here.

By team fWAR the Braves were the second lowest of the playoff teams last year. They can't go throwing Millions on a catcher and take a 4 win drop off at 3rd. Austin Riley suxxxxx

If Riley is a 4 WAR player do I become a mod?

despite apparently being given full admin powers it appears that I don't have the power to hold up my part of this wager. Thusly I cannot enter in such an agreement. Why you got to bring up these hurtful things?

 

But yeah Riley is not going to be a 4 win player

Hoe did that bet even come about? What did you get if you won?

Just pull'n your chain Hurl-o.

I AM going to enjoy full fake-mod cred when Riley blows up next year tho

It happened in the Bjmb group chat and he would have won nothing I think he was just trying to make a point that Big Pete would never be a 4 win player
