Sure, in a world where payroll can go to $190 million Robertson would be awesome. Is that the discussion we're having? I think the assumption of a $140 ceiling is a lot more interesting/realistic, and Robertson really doesn't make any sense in that situation.
-
Mayberry is a replacement-level hack who probably isn't even average offensively. Lind is comfortably above average as a hitter. You lose 1-2 wins in that exchange.
-
You're saying this to be contrarian, but it's a very bad idea.
-
Because, presumably, there is a finite amount of money available to be spent, and trading for a pre-arb reliever is a lot more preferable to paying sticker price on a similarly skilled free agent.

Goddammit Darcy Kuemper.
-
Blue Jays have begun contract talks with Melky Cabrera.

Just walk away and re-invest the money -
Yeah, I thought the same thing. Really, it was a lot of words that didn't say much of anything.
-
Stamkos completely shut down on a 2-game trip to Alberta. I expected like 5 goals.
-
I really hope not to go through that ever again.

It kind of seems like a a down year around age-28-32 more often than not gets followed up by a bounce-back season when it's preceded by a lengthy track record of success. Take pretty much any great hitter and you can identify a season where someone would have sold low and missed out on like 5 more years of great production.
-
Who was more valuable this year, Ortiz or Lester?
-
You might not even need to miss the playoffs if you're wise. Even this offseason you can nab an elite prospect for Ortiz, who you don't really even need.
-
Yeah. I learned that lesson the hard way this season when I penciled Gyorko and Bogaerts in for starting spots. Youth is nice, but it also comes with a higher likelihood of attrition, and trying to replace multiple bats midseason when 2-3 first or second year starters stumble a bit is pretty hard. I'm a lot more open to rostering 30+ year olds than I was two years ago.
-
You bring great shame to the DDL.
-
Damn. You have a pretty good team too.
-
You counting on Garcia and Hill as starters going into the season?
-
Holy crap that's young. My hitters are coming in at just under 29 next year.
-
I think that Alex Galchenyuk might be breaking out.
-
I thought you had him on the IL?

C - Gattis (28) 1B - Pujols (35) 2B - Cano (32) 3B - Cabrera (32) SS - Desmond (29) CF - Ellsbury (31) OF - Bautista (34) OF - Moss (31) Util - Ortiz (39) Craig (30) Average = 32.1, excluding Hunter. A bit older than Spanky's group. That's a good team, but he no longer looks primed to crush the league for the next 5 years. Funny how things change.
-
Didn't know that. Surprised he didn't try to land a contract.
-
C - Molina (32) 1B - Martinez (36) 2B - Dozier (28) 3B - Frazier (29) SS - Rollins (36) CF - Gardner (31) OF - Cabrera (30) OF - Jay (30) Util - Willingham (36) Average = 32 Anyone have an older lineup?
-
I like it for you. I think you'll probably need to keep selling the farm to have a chance this year though.
-
Yeah, but he was definitely trying to grease your wheels a bit.
-
I knew this was coming as soon as I saw njh post about how Spanky was a piece or two from contention.
