No kidding. And Quackenbush in there somehow!

Blue Jays re-sign Justin Smoak, non-tender Thole
Abomination replied to reedjohnsonfan's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
It really isn't that big a pay raise. He turned down more money last year to come here where he had a better path to playing time (if I remember right). He had made 2.6M the previous year, so it would probably be better to look at it as 2.6M to 3.2M to 3.9M or something like that. We just got a discount in the middle. -
Cishek could be a real interesting guy to sign. Has closing experience, and shouldn't cost a ton.
-
I'd love for us to get him at that price.
-
Delabar and Thole for sure. (they may resign Thole though) Smoak and Saunders will be much more interesting, and possibly even Revere.

David Price Signs 7 year deal with Red Sox
Abomination replied to HERPDERP's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Doesn't sound pissed to me. Stro probably just picked up his offseason workout load too lol, if that's possible. -
David Price Signs 7 year deal with Red Sox
Abomination replied to HERPDERP's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I really wanted Price back with us, but not at THAT AAV. -
Prince Fielder has a terrible body, but led the league in home runs one year, and is a career 300 home run hitter (so far). Maybe it's not on the same level, but judging based on body probably isn't wise.
-
If we could get Cook and Edgin on minor league deals, that would be incredible.

And GD can't math lol. -
I'm not so sure. Zimmerman is basically being paid as an ace, and (imo) he's probably a #2 starter.
-
Isn't the Tigers pick protected?
-
It's too bad he can't score unless he dunks it (and even then only sometimes). The blocks and defensive presence are nice, but teams are likely going to simply ignore him offensively and double someone else.
-
Holy crap!
-
At least one thing interesting about Happ is that he's been gaining velocity throughout most of his career (much like Lee). He probably isn't a guy who will lose a lot of stuff over the next few years.
-
Lol, a commercial that actually didn't totally suck.
-
No kidding
-
It'll be really interesting to see how much Price gets. A lot of the players seem to get more than I expect, but I find it hard to see him hitting 30M / year. I can definitely see 7/175 or 8/200 though.
-
It would have to be back-loaded at least some to fit in next year's (assumed) payroll, unless he received a healthy signing bonus that wasn't counted. An opt-out after 3 would probably be ideal though.
-
Interesting. The tail end of a Price contract may hurt, but for the next few years he's pretty much a perfect fit.
-
He's had several seasons with it being really low like that. Really strange numbers overall. The main problem is how much he sucks defensively.
-
It's worth noting that only 12 teams had a starting pitcher TEAM FIP under 4.00 last year. Certainly Chavez isn't likely to be a high end starter, but he's a real nice option as your #4 or #5 guy.
-
You mean the two guys who just put up 4.9 WAR and 4.2 WAR are s***?
-
Last year, Vogt caught 90 of his 157 innings. In 2014, almost all of the innings were caught by Jaso (54) and Norris (83) (Jaso was horrific, Norris below average).
-
There's a few other minor factors that I think are worth considering: 1) Hendriks had an unusually large velocity jump last year. Does that make him more likely to be go under the knife soon? 2) Chavez did not start the season in the rotation, and may not have been prepared to do so. A full offseason preparing as a full time starter may help. 3) Martin is a superior framer to Phegley, and especially Vogt.
