    I'm looking for good young defensemen or defense prospects (injured or not, don't have to be fully cooked yet)
  2. Abomination
    It seems to me that the only media guy with actual insider info is Shi. Maybe Wilner has heard something, but I find it hard to trust other sources too much.
  3. Abomination
    He's only breaking actual news if he's right that they didn't... I think my preference would be for Toritani, but it makes way too much sense for us to get one of these two guys.
  4. Abomination
    It would be nice if we'd land one of the two foreign guys for 2B. I have no clue which one is better overall, but we have the need, and the cost shouldn't be prohibitive.
  5. Abomination
    I'm rather happy with Forsberg

    TCA, your inbox is full

    I'm really surprised at the salaries significant injury pitchers are getting this winter. Medlen's isn't as bad as some of the others, but still...
  8. Abomination
    I would definitely be interested in Ekblad
  9. Abomination
    Shi is the only media person who I believe has ANY inside knowledge, so if he says this, I tend to believe it has some merit.
  10. Abomination
    I thought he'd be looking at getting more like 5M if he was lucky (including incentives).
  11. Abomination
    Or I suppose Lowrie moves to third (probably more likely since I'm not sold on his SS defense). It is a nice problem to have.
  12. Abomination
    Seems like the 4th year might be a 5M club option. If true, that contract seems extremely light to me.
  13. Abomination
    Interesting. I'm guessing he probably turned down more money elsewhere to remain at SS instead of 2B or 3B. I don't think it'll take Correa 3 years to be ready for the majors though, so he probably won't be there the full term.

    NHL Thread

    Abomination replied to GD's topic in Other Sports

    What the hell are the Canucks doing? They've given up three 3 on 1 and a 2 on 1 in the first seven minutes.
  15. Abomination
    Both are probably roughly equal with the glove at 3rd when they're on the field, but Donaldson should be on the field more. Saunders should be a huge upgrade over Melky though, and Martin a massive one over Navarro. I will say that Lawrie's positional flexibility (especially when it comes to the shift) is rather nice though, and will probably be missed more than we realize.
  16. Abomination
    All things being equal, I'd probably take Pearce over Fowler and hope that the breakout is legit, but it doesn't seem like robbery to me. If someone was in need of a CF, it doesn't seem unreasonable. I highly doubt Pearce will put up anywhere close to a 160 wRC+ next year. I could easily see both in the 120 range.

    Aoki is actually an interesting guy to compare Toritani to. There's a little under a year difference in age, and their overall Japan numbers over that time actually appear to be extremely similar, outside of the effects of Aoki's higher batting average. Now, more interestingly (and not very scientifically), the final year they both played in the Japanese League (2011 when the new balls came in), Aoki's Japan numbers were almost exactly what they've been the last two years here. Toritani suffered the same power drop Aoki (and everyone else in Japan) did, and similar the following year in the other categories. IF those numbers translate relatively well to what they would have done in the majors (and I admit that's a big if), he could be a better find that we realize. If someone has a bit of free time, they can look a little deeper into that.
  18. Abomination
    Not necessarily. He may really want to get a taste of the major leagues while he's still young enough to have a chance to. There's also a matter of drawing a major league pension if he comes over for a year or two.
  19. Abomination
    Yeah, I agree. Honestly, if he even hits a little better than Kawasaki and is a better defender at SS and 3rd, then he seems to be a pretty valuable bench piece with the possibility for more.
  20. Abomination
    Evan Marshall would be awesome, but if they have no intention of giving up someone from the pen, I wonder what they do intend to trade? Hill maybe?
  21. Abomination
    Yeah, he did. Still though, when you include the salaries plus what they're paying the Marlins, they basically paid 22M + Gordon and Haren for a single season of Kendrick and 3 prospects. That's not very good asset management imo.
  22. Abomination
    No kidding. That's a terrible deal imo. It would be different if Kendrick had a few years of control left perhaps, but 1???
  23. Abomination
    I'd argue that Scherzer might be worth that, but it would have made a lot more sense imo for the Cubs to have gone after Shields or someone like that. Excluding last year, as NJH mentioned, for the three previous years Lester's numbers were basically roughly a #2 starter, if that. I understand the logic of picking up a top of the rotation type guy and paying well for him, I just don't think Lester is the right one.
  24. Abomination
    I'm not a big fan of Lester, and definitely NOT at that kind of contract. Starting with his first full season, he's had 3 excellent years deserving of that, but he's also had 4 forgettable (if you want to call yourself a 25M / year pitcher at least) ones. I strongly suspect the Cubs are going to really regret this.
  25. Abomination
    I'd happily take 9M + 12M? of Holland (plus qualifying and getting a draft pick back at the end) over 4 years of Robertson at 12M+ per. It all depends on what the prospect cost is though.
