  1. Lind talk his way out of town.
  2. Not sure what your gripe is, but this thread is 62 pages of pretty good discussion. What the f*** do you contribute from up on that pedestal?
  3. The idea behind trading Lind for a reliever was saving $7 million. This move costs them a win while saving like $3.5 million.
  4. He could have just thrown the $4 million Estrada will make at a similar free agent reliever. This is just bad.
  5. I really can't believe how bad this is. A guy who was replacement-level this year, and Steamer thinks is replacement-level next year for a 1.5 win guy, all to save less than $4 million.
  6. C – Navarro (5) 1B – Encarnacion (10) 2B – 3B – Lawrie (arb1) SS – Reyes (22) RF – Bautista (14) CF – Gose (nm) LF – DH – 2B/3B – Maicer Izturis (3) OF - John Mayberry Jr. (arb2) 3B - Valencia (arb1) SP – Dickey (12) SP – Buehrle (19) SP –Romero (7.5) SP - Happ (6.7) SP - Estrada (arb3) SP – Hutchison (arb1) SP – Stroman (nm) RP – Brett Cecil (arb2) RP – Aaron Loup (nm) RP – Todd Redmond (nm) RP - Liam Hendriks (nm) Total = $96.2 million + nm(6) + arb (Lawrie, Mayberry Jr., Valencia, Hutchison, Cecil, Estrada) = approx. $99.2 million + arb (Lawrie, Mayberry Jr., Valencia, Hutchison, Cecil, Estrada) Free Agents Melky Cabrera Colby Rasmus Casey Janssen Team Options Brandon Morrow (10 + 1 buyout) Dustin McGowan (4 + 0.5 buyout) Justin Smoak (3.65 + 0.15 buyout) Josh Thole (1.75) Other Arb-Eligible Dan Johnson (arb3) Munenori Kawasaki (arb1) Juan Francisco (arb2) Andy Dirks (arb3)
  7. This is f***ing awful. Lind is better than Estrada, fills a bigger position of need, and is only like $3.5 M more expensive.
  8. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/11/blue-jays-exercise-option-on-adam-lind.html http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/11/blue-jays-decline-option-on-sergio-santos.html
  9. Those guys really suck though.
  10. Who plays 2B for them though? I feel like it marks more sense to just keep Kendrick and play the FA market.
  11. Yeah, but I don't mind him overall. I have the urge to steal Cameron's lunch money and stuff him in a locker or something. Kiley McDaniel is the best they have. I wish he talked about more than prospects.
  12. I just started listening to the fangraphs podcast at work. My god Dave Cameron is a weiner.
  13. i dunno
  14. Updated to reflect the current situation. Things are going to become a not more clear when decisions are made on options and non-tenders for arb guys.
  15. C – Navarro (5) 1B – Encarnacion (10) 2B – 3B – Lawrie (arb1) SS – Reyes (22) RF – Bautista (14) CF – Gose (nm) LF – DH – Lind (7.5) 2B/3B – Maicer Izturis (3) OF - John Mayberry Jr. (arb2) 3B - Valencia (arb1) SP – Dickey (12) SP – Buehrle (19) SP –Romero (7.5) SP - Happ (6.7) SP – Hutchison (arb1) SP – Stroman (nm) RP – Brett Cecil (arb2) RP – Aaron Loup (nm) RP – Todd Redmond (nm) RP - Liam Hendriks (nm) Total = $103.7 million + nm(6) + arb (Lawrie, Mayberry Jr., Valencia, Hutchison, Cecil) = approx. $106.7 million + arb (Lawrie, Mayberry Jr., Valencia,Hutchison, Cecil) Free Agents Melky Cabrera Colby Rasmus Casey Janssen Team Options Brandon Morrow (10 + 1 buyout) Dustin McGowan (4 + 0.5 buyout) Justin Smoak (3.65 + 0.15 buyout) Josh Thole (1.75) Other Arb-Eligible Dan Johnson (arb3) Munenori Kawasaki (arb1) Juan Francisco (arb2) Andy Dirks (arb3)
  16. The "Lind only has x warz in the last 5 years" narrative is pretty disingenuous. He spent 2010-2012 severely miscast as an every day bat. He's Matt Joyce - play him everyday and you'll have a hard time squeezing any value out of him. Play him vs. RHP exclusively and you have a 1-2 win player.
  17. Boxy just keeps on adding guys he's going to sell at a profit.
  18. Smoak @ 3 instead of Lind @ 7 is really really dumn. Taking a likely 1.5 win hit to shave like $4 million is bad business. If Lind is cleared for salary space, I'll be really f***ing pissed if half of that money goes to Justin Smoak.
  19. Don't really understand what we'd want with an option-less Hendriks.
  20. Gonna go out on a limb here and assume he meant he likes Smoak more than your typical 'low cost' waiver-wire claim.
  21. Yeah, I didn't word that properly. I meant that there are a lot of positions filled with very bad players, and there just aren't a lot of resources available for big additions.
  22. The offseason is here! It feels like just yesterday we were posting endlessly about Santana, Jimenez and Infante. The best time of on these boards IMO.
  23. Absolutely. I just don't have any expendable assets. Is this something we can work around? Please advise.
  24. Why do you care so much? Is it a fear thing? Like if you can explain it away as being his fault, the random death of a young guy isn't so scary?
