    People should love this quote (re Goins)! http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/goins-gives-jays-optimism-at-second-base/

    It hurts all players equally regardless of how they play, really. It just seems like a more fair system of still compensating teams for losing players. The Miami situation needs to be dealt with separately. I guess an alternative would be to abolish the current draft system entirely and treat it more like they do with IFA's, with teams who lose players gaining extra cap space to allow them a better chance at scoring top players. With so many players being available it would be a bit of a drawn out nightmare, but would certainly be interesting. What it would also do though is make teams less likely to want to resign their top players, so there'd need to be some kind of incentive for that too.

    They really need to fix the QO and compensation. Get rid of losing draft picks, and do something like the following: 1. The team that loses a player gets monetary compensation from the new team at a rate of 5% of the yearly salary (including incentives and signing bonus) per year the old team had the player, up to 20% total. (ie, if a team signed Price at 20M / year, they'd have to pay Tampa an average of 4M / year for the life of the contract). This should also apply rather than the Japan posting system imo. 2. The team that loses the player receives a special "slush fund" equal to 1% of the new contract per year the old team had the player (up to 5%) which they can apply as extra cap space for the draft or for IFA's. (In the above case of Price, Tampa would get an extra 1M / year that they could use to increase their cap space).

    Analysts seems to think that 150M / 6 years would mean that the two free agent years the Angels would be buying out would cost about 35M to 45M / year, taking into account the other years would still be arbitration years. A deal like this is probably fair for both sides.

    The depth behind them is interesting, but that listed rotation is a disaster (imo).

    8M for a full season or the possibility of 8M for a half season and stats that don't look as nice... Does he seriously think he's going to massively improve on multiyear offers later in the season?
  9. Abomination
    Man would it be sweet if he DID land Gardner and Aoki though. Perfect fits imo. He's going to have to address outfield somehow next year, because I can't see him actually running with Gose AND Sierra.

    I hate that Vasquez runner. He needs to abandon that shot.

    They probably got an early look at their 2nd and 3rd base options the last few days and decided they didn't need him.
  12. Abomination
    Apparently he does.
  13. Abomination
    Yeah, Hendriks at least has a chance to be useful, so this is a good move (even if it is pretty meh). I could actually see Hendriks be converted to relief. The few extra ticks on the fastball combined with a good curve could be pretty effective.
  14. Abomination
    I'd agree that Sanchez would be about right. Maybe we could have some fun and extend it to Sanchez + Happ + Gose + Thole + Santos for Franklin + Zunino + Saunders Yeah, I doubt they'd do it, but ...
  15. Abomination
    Funny that an agent who is breaking the rules is getting bent out of shape over a team calling someone out over it (even though it's a really low move by the Phillies). They need to get rid of that rule now regardless, and let the prospects select an agent if they wish to.
  16. Abomination
    This is actually an interesting suggestion, especially if the Cards were to sign Diaz and move him to 2nd.
  17. Abomination
    At least it's working on someone

    All these nice majestic home runs, and the Rasmus one leaves the park so fast you're almost wondering what happened! That Wright one was impressive too.
  21. Abomination
    Probably mostly people who hoped to cash in on the Jays making a big move. Now that it looks unlikely, they're all trying to bail. Not surprising it happens right after Jimenez signs somewhere else.

    This is great:

    With his reflexes and defensive talent, he'd probably be outstanding at catching Dickey's knuckler. Might drive Dickey insane in the process though.
