Come on, wasn't that a PM and meant in jest?
-
Well he gave you Lucroy, so there's that.
-
Pitching, pitching, and more pitching.
-
I'll take the trade off. I can piece a pitching staff together if I need to, but having an entire offense collectively s*** the bed is a death sentence.
-
Yeah, that's about where I got with him. I wanted to be able to have discourse with him, because he does know a fair bit, but he's just so miserable a person that it isn't worth it.
-
It's funny because KingKat is probably the most diplomatic poster on the forum, and Moogy can't even get along with him.
-
One of many, many disappointments this year. Actually, behind Braun, Joyce has probably been my most valuable bat.
-
I use Matt Joyce a lot. He has a hit and SB this week, and is the only bat on my bench with Jennings shut fown.
-
He might not (though he is supposed to), but come the offseason he's a mid-tier closer that you can shop. I didn't want to cut him.
-
I don't understand why people are so caught up on Lind's 'platoon-mate'. If the rest of the bench is strong, it isn't an issue. If you have a Gentry/Denorfia type, you plug them into LF vs. lefties and let Melky (if he's here) DH. Hardly a waste of a roster spot.
-
Surprised someone below Dinger didn't snag Benoit. Free draft pick in the offseason.
-
lol av

Damn it would be nice if Mark Trumbo could wake the f*** up this week. One of his 2-3 HR weeks would be huge.
-
Wo. I like this.
-
It would be nice if one of your guys could give up some runs. A rare McHugh implosion would be awesome.
-
In the middle of a playoff run, Lloyd McClendon hits Endy Chavez 2nd. That organization is so difficult to like.
-
Yeah. Use someone like Valencia who has some utility aside from DH platoon guy. A bench of: Valencia catcher outfielder middle infielder is just fine.
-
All I've been saying is that he's worth his contract, and that if you buy him out, you're going to have a difficult time replacing his production for cheaper.
-
Stroman. -
You would be asking him to beat the market. I share your pessimism about his ability to do that.
-
We both had the same information. I took a gamble that doctors could fix the issue given an entire offseason, and it would appear as though I guessed wrong.
-
deGrom is really good. It's annoying that silvergun acquired him for three old broken guys.
-
PA vs. LHP 2010 = 24% 2011 = 27% 2012 = 27% 2013 = 19% 2014 = 13% Lind was 'useless' for three years in a row because he wasn't used properly. He's Matt Joyce. A guy who's going to give you something in the vicinity of a 125-130 wRC+ vs. right-handed pitching, but who's limited to about 450 PA a season. That package is worth 1-2 wins over the course of a season, and on a low-risk 1-year term it's a pretty safe investment.
-
There just isn't a reason to believe that there wouldn't be a market, aside from deliberately taking a contrarian stance. $7.5 M on a 1-year deal is fine value for a guy who will give you 1-1.5 wins. Just last offseaosn we saw Mike Morse net $6 million coming off a 79 wRC+ season. Lind has a skill set that doesn't get undervalued.
-
If this team decides for some reason that they don't want to pay Lind $7.5 M, they will have no issues finding a taker. Buying him out would be ridiculous.
