  1. Even better might be that there was trade interest from other teams regarding JPA.
  2. His velocity has dropped slightly, but he also started throwing cutters the last 2 years which are likely impacting his average fastball velocity (pitchfx etc has difficulty differentiating between the two for most pitchers). He's still hitting 96, so it's not like his velocity is hurting that bad. I agree that he doesn't go as deep as he should, but at least he is durable.
  3. I wonder exactly how that spam detection software works anyhow.
  4. He's posted an xFIP of 3.71 or under in 4 of the last 5 years and an ERA under 3.5 in 3 of the last 5 years. He's posted 3.2 WAR or higher in 5 of the last 6 years. I think he has a chance to be a lot better than you're giving him credit for. It's a risky move, and he certainly isn't an ace, but I'd be quite happy with 4 years at 12 to 14 per.

    Horrible to see that happen, but it'll sure help me in my matchup against Cat's Asses this week.
  6. Even more than that I'd say it's a good thing. Any rumors we hear involving the Jays at this stage are probably bogus. No rumors leaked probably speaks more to AA being busy than anything.
  7. It's all SSS, but last year vs lefties Lind had a -56 wRC+ at home and a 131 wRC+ on the road. In all reality though, it seemed to me that most of Lind's struggles against lefties came with the relievers more so than the starters.
  8. It'll be very interesting to see what they do on a few players. Lind, Rasmus, Melky, possibly Morrow, Happ are all guys who I could see possibly being moved if some money needed to be freed up. Maybe if they're taking back a bigger salary they can even offload Romero.
  9. the 21st century version of coal... With our luck, Boni will probably put up 3+ war next year and everyone will be crying about how we let him go.
  10. Just bumping this for anyone interested in it. Deadline is tonight I believe.
  11. Bailey put up 2.5 and 3.7 fWAR the last 2 years. It's unclear which will be better next year, but we need the upgrade at pitching a hell of a lot more than we need Rasmus imo.
  12. No offense, but I'm not sure even a video game would accept that one. We'd have to include a HELL of a lot more.

    You seem to have at least 4 ...
  14. Was curious with the spammers today what kind of traffic we're generating now. Clearwebstats estimates almost 3000 unique daily visitors. Are we really this high?
  15. Not sure if anyone else posted it, but some talk the Reds could move Hanigan. Would be a very interesting target. edited: Oops, missed a page. Definitely an interesting target.
  16. Neither do I. Heck, after 2005 lots of people labelled Halladay as injury prone (2004 was due to working out too intensely and 2005 was due to that Kevin Mench line drive off the leg). I'm much more interested in what the injury is as opposed to how many someone has had, especially for pitchers.
  17. He'd probably have to guarantee at least one of the options, but I would love this. Not sure I'd go a lot higher though.
  18. I don't think I'd be happy with Santana at 5/60, let alone 5/100.
  19. It would be interesting to go through the list of all (somewhat premium) Boras clients and see if any of them have actually provided surplus value on a FA contract.
  20. Yeah, that was incredibly stupid.
  21. Doubt it. It'll probably take about the same amount of time as a manager going nuts after a bad call currently does.
  22. Melky looked like he was moving pretty good in the spring. I'm more than willing to chalk it up to the tumor.
  23. For anyone interested, MLBTR finally put up their free agent prediction contest. Picks are due by the 10th. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/11/mlbtrs-free-agent-prediction-contest.html
  24. I could see a great hitting coach who's had a set group of guys for a few years adding that kind of value, but I wouldn't expect someone to suddenly step in and get those kind of results first year. Basically impossible to quantify regardless.
  25. Whether we agree with it or not, the defensive metrics the last 2 years appear to be less cruel to him than we are, and he has big power. Some team out there would no doubt love to get and try to "fix" him at the plate. Worse case for us, we stash him in AAA and see if that clears his head, since he should still have options left.
