    I agree. Really, it's the D-Backs with the WTF moment unless that PTBNL is something good. The deal has some risk for Tampa too, in that a lot of people think Hannigan is nothing more than a backup (although I think he could break out personally). If you stretch the Bell contract out over the 3 years too and only attribute to him what he's actually worth, they're essentially paying Hannigan 4M to 5M a year for 3 to 4 years.

    Price's SwStk% is pretty close to what Halladay's was before he went to the Phillies.
  3. Abomination
    His walk rate also dropped dramatically though. The two are probably related. As for his velocity, it was still higher last year than in 2009. I don't think this is something to be concerned about, and combined with the increase in command is probably intentional.
  4. Abomination
    I would be all for this.
  5. Abomination
    Yeah, he's above average defensively at 2nd.
  6. Abomination
    Probably not, but he could be the odd man out if the M's sign a big bat or two which it seems a given that the will. I'd imagine they'd take Gose + something, and move Saunders to left.
  7. Abomination
    I'm sure we could pry Ackley away from the M's if they end up signing a big bat outfielder or two this winter.

    The good thing about Anderson is that the injury last year was to the foot rather than the arm. If he's back to 100%, I'd absolutely love us to get him. #2 upside for sure. We still need to add an additional 200 inning arm though, because the chances of him making 30+ starts is about the same as D-Mac doing it. ... and lol at Steamer effectively projecting him to be a swing man.
  9. Abomination
    Seems reasonable for both sides.
  10. Abomination
    Maybe AA can convince BB to accept RR as part of the return
  11. Abomination
    This sounds like an interesting area to research further.
  12. Abomination
    Well they'd do worse no question, but my point isn't whether or not framing exists (it clearly does), but rather whether it is appropriate to try to exclude it's effects from the pitcher or whether the pitcher has a non-trivial amount of control over it as well.
  13. Abomination
    Yeah, I suspect there's a lot of pitchers that do (I remember Hentgen absolutely raping hitters 6 inches or more off the plate). I'd also love to see the difference in borderline strikes between stars and rookies. It just seems like you are making a very big assumption unless there is very strong evidence to support it.

    I believe so, and I assume the max bid would be high enough that only the elite players would ever reach it.
  16. Abomination
    One hell of a change to the proposed posting system! http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/12/latest-on-the-posting-system-negotiations.html It would include a maximum bid, and priority if multiple teams reach the max is inverse of record!

    He got 6.5 last year. He'll get more than 8, and 9 or so is highly likely.
  18. Abomination
    Someone check the water in Detroit and Oakland ... Only thing I can think of is that Beane thinks he can flip Johnson for something better.
  19. Abomination
    I agree, no downside if the cost isn't high. If he isn't healthy then one of the kids can take over (provided he's not the only pitcher we sign).
  20. Abomination
    Law definitely didn't like the trade:
  21. Abomination
    Still doesn't make sense. He can dump that money elsewhere. Could we see Beane do something crazy and make Johnson a starter?
  22. Abomination
    What doesn't make sense to me, is that both Porcello and Fister probably make about the same next year. Unless Detroit's front office really has a thing for one of those guys they got in return, there has to be more to it. They could have dumped the salary just as easily with Porcello and probably gotten an equal return.
  23. Abomination
    Yeah, that's one hell of a steal. Now we can rage lol.
  24. Abomination
    Let's wait until we see what the return is before we complain about not topping it...
  25. Abomination
    I have to say, if this is legit I definitely didn't see it coming. I wonder if the tigers would flip Lombardozzi to us?
