I wonder what Boston would move for Bautista. His value is just going to keep declining until his contract expires. Something like Betts + Cespedes + Owens would be a bit interesting. -
Demond Jennings plz.

I think I just don't buy into the internal 2B guys (Maicer, Kawasaki, Goins, Tolleson) being reliable over a full season. Maicer is 34 in September, has maybe an 80 wRC+ true talent bat, and has graded as about an average 2B defender in his career, so we can probably expect him to be below-average going forward. Kawasaki is basically the same player, but from the left side. I see 2B as a huge hole. Gose is intriguing, but I'm not really buying the 23 UZR/150 this year. Love him as a 4th OF, but an 80 wRC+ is going to make it very difficult for him to be a league average contributor overall. I agree re: Martin. He would be perfect.

I'm pretty sure Rasmus was a huge f***ing steal. Or at least an investment that returned considerable surplus value. Someone that isn't me should back of napkin those numbers.
-
It really is.
-
Also, Cargo is like your 3rd-best asset.
-
I really disagree with your assessment with where the team is. You go into the season with the status quo rotation, a Pillar/Gose CF platoon, and Tolleson/Kawasaki at 2B you're probably looking at another sub-85 win "contention" season. Wins need to be added. Real wins. scratching and clawing to get 1-2 wins out of multiple positions isn't going to cut it.

I actually only have one hitter with a higher OPS than your team this season, and Braun only has you beat by 19 points.

Fujikawa could be awesome if he signs a cheap deal. It's just difficult for me to see how even $5 million makes sense on a payroll of, say, $145 million. There are just so many other holes: LF, CF, C, 2B, DH, SP, bench etc... I really think they have to be looking at guys who make <$2 million until all of the other holes are filled. That said, I'm expecting runs at Grilli and Uehara, both of whom have been targetted in the past.
-
Even $5 million is too much IMO. There a a few free agents hurt/having down years that could go for very cheap: Johnson, Crain, Hochevar, Belisle etc... I really hope that the add guys like that if they're signing FA's. Lots of landmines out there though: Grilli, Janssen, Romo, Soriano, Gergerson, Robertson, K-Rod, Uehara, Miller etc... All of those guys ill likely earn $5 M+

Baseball reference uses runs against in their WAR calculation, while fangraphs uses FIP.

lol

No way I'd pay McGowan $4 million, but I'd be content with trying a bunch of Drabek/Delabar types next year on the cheap. I just think the FO is going to see the pen as an area of need, given how few established guys they have going into next year, and the fact that the pen has been awful this year. AA has always shown a desire to add established guys, and I think that will lead to multiple acquisitions this offseason.
-
I think a lot of assets are going to be put into the pen. As things stand, they have Cecil, Loup, and possibly Sanchez for next year. IMO they'll be trading for/signing at least 3 guys, and it will be wasteful.

I can't wait for him to be gifted a promotion to president. The Blue Jay Way.
-
It is ridiculous that Reimold is up instead of Gose, but that's about par for the course.
-
LOL Blue Jays
-
Stupid rule. Navarro was blocking the plate, but calling the runner safe when the throw beat him by that much would be ridiculous.
-
WTF awful send with none out.
-
I still don't understand why anyone was ever on that bandwagon. He's a replacement-level player.
-
Reimnold is not a good baseball player.
-
And you get Havok next week while I get FTD. Looks like the MC will be yours. It also looks like a first-round playoff matchup is kind of likely.
-
What an awful week. I'm going to lose to Havok, lol.
-
Hopefully justice is served here and the protest is upheld.
