    3rd option this year isn't it?
  2. TheHurl
    but...that attitude.
  3. TheHurl
    Red Sox got Abad?
  4. TheHurl
    Scott Miller too now. Great job by the fake account mostly because he only followed fast food restaurants.
  5. TheHurl
    No one here fall for the Fake Buster Olney account. We are better than that.

    San Diego must have had a pretty good idea about an existing injury.
  7. TheHurl
    As often as this guy has been wrong in his life it might be worth getting Santana.
  8. TheHurl
    I'm sure they will get something back if it's proven that there was something not disclosed. I was just making a comment on the cheapness of the Marlins.
  9. TheHurl
    that 3.66 ERA
  10. TheHurl
    yes they don't have to pay an injured pitcher's surgery/rehab
  11. TheHurl
    Montas, Holmes and Cotton for Reddick and Hill. Nice deal for both teams. I know I'm 30 minutes behind but I just don't care enough about Santana.
  12. TheHurl
    Olerud has a great way of arguing with people that are somewhat agreeing with him.

    90% of guys that do nothing but hit in the minors who fail it's purely one thing...they can't lay off of breaking stuff as 3 of every 5 pitchers they face in the minors can't throw breaking stuff. Which is why when stat scouting I've always said about minor league hitters "look for improving K-Rates as a tell of how well players adjust". You make it sound like these prospects have never been seen by a scout. Yes this board stat scouts...and make commentary about trades but it many cases we know that these players have hit the eye test of the scouts already. No one is suggesting that the Jays trade Osuna for a 30th rounder 19 year old that went crazy for 3 months in a split season. They are suggesting that the Jays trade Osuna for a package that includes at least one major league ready prospect. Again I remind everyone that the Jays have half a team under control for next year...if you can trade 1 piece to get 2 pieces it might make sense.

    I'd say that Frazier is far from the a stat scouting darling. He's way more of a traditional darling. He's got above average speed and runs great routes to balls. Despite being a high effort guy, he's been stuck with a "likely a corner OF" label (mostly established when Zimmer played CF when they were teammates). He is said to have elite bat speed and he's a student of the game and extremely coachable according to reports. He's made great adjustments with his hands while decreasing his K-rates and has shown himself to be a guy that can work counts. He's got a profile I really like and I think his skills carry over well. Reminds me a lot of a guy I was following a lot in the early 2000's. Jayson Werth.

    Then say too (I know he can't publicly) don't throw out some scenario that the Indians would be fools to accept.

    I am very big on a contract is a contract. What is Lucroy's trade value based on him only having a contract until the end of this year? Certainly not three prospects. Have it be known ahead of time that you are going to play that kind of a negotiation tactic and teams will base their trades on that knowledge...instead of having it go public. As much as it's smart on his part...it's also stupid cause he has to know that Cleveland is going to say "f*** you" every single time.
  17. TheHurl
    calm down Robert, no need to add to the skinsuit.
  18. TheHurl
    He wanted to use the no trade option as a negotiating tool to get paid better now and take the injury risk out of it! Lets not pretend it's about anything else.
  19. TheHurl
    that's fine...but don't expect everyone to give you a huge payday. He is making a statement now, and he's going to get paid when he is a free agent. But there will be teams that now say "he chose to not go for a championship and used it as a personal negotiation tactic". In turn they will not make him an offer when he is a free agent. Some team that doesn't care will get him for a lower price, but there are still enough teams that care. Look at the number of GM's that talk about "the interview phase" in the free agency market.
  20. TheHurl
    lets not go crazy here...
  21. TheHurl
    No but championships should be your goal...and I doubt that is the case for Lucroy. Word is that he wants the team to get rid of the option year and negotiate now.
  22. TheHurl
    I didn't realize they removed the fielders for the 9th. Kenley Jensen has blown 5 saves in 36 chances this year...Kyle Barraclough has blown just 1 in 19. Every reliever gives up runs, when you give them up changes how the fans view them but it shouldn't change how you use them in the future. Good relievers should be good in all situations.
  23. TheHurl
    It's 1.5 years. Suck it up and play for a championship. This is the stuff that costs people money in free agency.
  24. TheHurl
    Reliever is the one situation where youth doesn't always increase value. With the volatility of relievers having a 4 or 5 year track record seems to increase value. I'm not saying that Osuna doesn't have value...but not that much more than Miller despite the obvious advantages. With the value of relievers in trade are we going to see more teams being quick to move the top prospects into the pen?
  25. TheHurl
    Depends on the price. Gives them a replacement bullpen piece in case they end up going on a nice run. If not they can probably get a return for him before August 30th
