  1. If the Rockies want to throw in Story or Rodgers, then sure No way do I want to buy high on Blackmon though, and Stroman would be buying VERY high.
  2. Well if you're getting a young, high end, cost controlled outfielder, etc in return then it's just a different allocation of resources. One in which you take advantage of the market that's probably gone too far in the reliever direction.
  3. Holland probably equals Osuna with some upside above that, and Tolleson is a pretty solid arm when he's not giving up a 25% HR/FB rate.
  4. They're probably out after signing Holliday.
  5. With the prices closers are getting, both trade and FA, I think we should seriously consider trading Osuna. Maybe we can fill an outfield spot with a high end, young MLB ready prospect, and then some. Sign Holland, Tolleson, etc for the pen.
  6. I wonder what the cost would be like to get Vogt, now that he's reaching arbitration years? Or perhaps Rupp now that Alfaro is knocking on the door in Philly? Vogt could split time at 1st, DH, and catcher, maybe even outfield in a pinch. Rupp is an average framer with good defense, and the bat is playable for a backup catcher.
  7. Iannetta's framing numbers are horrible (except for 2015 for some reason). He's basically Navarro in all aspects, except he doesn't switch hit.
  8. Thank you Bruce. Please exercise it if need be!
  9. I can't believe Demar made that shot, even though it won't count.
  10. He put up a 129 wRC+ last year, which was 28th in baseball (tied with Machado). He has a good bat, he just doesn't hit lots of home runs.
  11. Coghlan / Upton could be interesting too.
  12. Hell, give him 3/50 with an opt out after this year.
  13. Even then, cost of living is only a very VERY small portion of what he makes. Most other more luxury things are roughly the same once the exchange rate is baked in, with some exceptions.
  14. Retarded names, and dads naming their sons after them (at least first names, middle names aren't as bad) are two things that really annoy me.
  15. Bet you're gonna wish no one quoted this
  16. Good thing the picture is clearly fake.
  17. If push came to shove, I'd probably be okay with going to 18M per. He really is the perfect fit for us. I'd be a lot happier about it at 16M per though.
  18. I'd say it was his agent being overly optimistic. Edwin is viewed by a lot of people as a DH (he's been part time 1B the last few years, but it's easy to see an NL team being hesitant on running him out there full time). Papi (on short term deals, and he was older) topped out at 16M for a single season. 20M per for four years, plus the pick, probably wasn't going to be beat by much if at all.
  19. The comments from his agent indirectly suggest it too.
  20. Okay, poor choice of words. Our bench IDEALLY has those three.
  21. Pearce has been quite a lot worse in the second halves in his career. Maybe that's partly due to all the injuries, maybe he just can't physically handle playing every day for whatever reason. Regardless, this is an excellent signing at the price. Our bench right now has Pearce (1.5 WAR projection, could be higher), Upton (difficult to project, but likely 1 tp 1.5 WAR if used correctly and he hits more like he did in SD), and Barney (likely 1 to 1.5 WAR). Those are very valuable part time contributions for where we are on the curve. Now if we could upgrade Upton to Dyson (we should have no problem trading Upton given he's basically free), we'd really be on to something with the bench. Given the extra bat that kills lefties, I wonder if this is a prelude to possibly going after Moss? He's slightly above average defensively in the outfield, hits righties well, and probably comes at a reasonable price.
  22. I like this for Spittin actually.
  23. Apparently Jarrod Dyson could be traded soon. If the trade cost isn't too high, he'd be an amazing 4th outfielder (maybe even okay getting more at-bats in a platoon with Upton). He just came off a 3.1 WAR season. No power, but speed to burn and great defense.
  24. Atlanta is having quite an adventure at the free throw line.
  25. GSnarles, we have a winner!
