  1. Back to the Rays board?
  2. My god the SP market is stacked next yer: Aces = Price, Kuma, Cueto, Zimmermann, Samardzija, Greinke solid 2/3 types = Porcello, Latos, Kennedy, Kazmir, Fister, Lackey other interesting guys = Buehrle, Chen, Colon, Lohse, Leake
  3. Why now? Why not just let Zimmermann play out his contract and re-evaluate next year. You can always chase Price/Kuma/Cueto/Zimmermann/Samardzija/Greinke a year from now if you're inclined. A $200 M commitment to a pitcher just so you can move Zimmermann before he walk is pretty reckless IMO.
  4. This seems really unnecessary if they just end up trading Zimmermann. Scherzer is like a 1-win upgrade.
  5. There really isn't much to suggest that Shields has started to decline. He's entering his age-33 season, so there's always that concern, but through 2014 his performance has held steady.
  6. Four playoff berths in six years and an AL pennant. But my post was made to draw attention to the incredibly stupid idea that A) they were carried by their pitching, and even if this were true it would invalidate their success.

    Alex Steen has been unreal.
  8. You're going to beat me. I just hope it's by a win or two.
  9. Obviously we're a long way from making that decision, but if everyone performs as we reasonably expect them too going forward, I hope Donaldson is made into a long-term priority even if it means walking away from Bautista or Edwin. Four years of control taking him to his age-33 season. There's potential there to have a franchise type of talent for 7-8 years without ever really breaking the bank the way you typically would have to for a player of his calibre. Donaldson not hitting free agency until 33 gives the team a lot of flexibility. There will be no $100+ million guaranteed mega-deal for him.

    I was about to make a joke about how he'd enjoy playing with Perry, Getzlaf, Nash, Richards, and Stamkos in a couple of years. Then I stumbled on this: http://www.thestar.com/sports/the_spin/2014/01/stamkos_figures_to_be_leiweke_s_long_term_target_for_leafs.html The Leafs media is shamelessly pathetic.

    Can Leafs fans really not help themselves from suggesting horrible lopsided trades in their favour? They're not getting Draisaitl for Phaneuf.
  12. The Rays led all of baseball in positional fWAR in the 6 years from 2008-2013.
  13. V-Mart got 4/17 entering his age-36 season. Edwin (34) and Bautista (36) should be able to get at least that if their performance holds up over the next two years.
  14. That's more because they decided to go all in with 11ty holes and couldn't possibly fill them all without increasing payroll by 70 M in one offseason.

    Leafs suck lol
  16. It doesn't really get more 'all in' than they were going into 2013. The farm system was depleted and payroll was taken to top-10 in the league with a roster of expensive veterans.
  17. They've been all in for two years now.
  18. That's probably more desirable. Pence + Worley and no Papelbon contract.
  19. I doubt there's a single team in the league that would prefer their team's 2011 BA projected lineup. Possibly the Phillies.
  20. lol @ Minnesota entering 2013: Minnesota: Diamond, Worley, Correia, Pelfrey (if he’s healthy), Hendricks, Duensing, De Vries (maybe Gibson or May? ). Harden on a reclamation project.
  21. Actually, this is kind of fun: http://www.nationalsarmrace.com/?p=5447
  22. I dunno, take any team's projected rotation entering 2013 and see how many of the protected 5 are legitimately solid starters now. For veteran proven rotations you might have 2. If two of Norris/Stroman/Hutchison/Hoffman/Osuna look like valuable rotation members (or like they will soon be in the case of the last two) the team has done well.
  23. More likely is that by 2017 Hoffman and Osuna have both turned into pumkins, one of the Norris/Hutch/Stroman trio sucks, another went down to TJS, and the third is awesome. I really wish the team's best prospects were hitters.
