Yeah. Even if you have to kick in like $2 million, I don't think you let that stop you from signing Martin. If Martin makes sense at like 3/30 or whatever he's going to get, he makes sense at 3/32.
-
I see the Kyle Gibson experiment has ended.
-
If you trust the framing numbers, he probably has been replacement level. Matt Carruth has him at -14 framing runs, which takes his 1.3 fWAR down to -0.1. Even if he's not quite THAT bad, he's probably still worth less than a win all things considered.
-
Anybody want to take a flier on Trevor Cahill? I'd like to move him today for a prospect that isn't completely terrible. He's only 26 and has had a sub-4 xFIP in 5 of the last 6 years, 3.69 this year.
-
I don't feel bad about that. The entire league had weeks to make an offer on him, and nobody wanted to offer even a 2nd.
-
I have 0, and the only one who might get there is Braun. Coming into the year, I expected 20+ from Braun, Belt, Butler, Ramos, Tumbo, Gyorko.
-
Good god, two teams have had a worse offense than me? That doesn't even seem possible.
-
Sent you a proboards pm, anus.
-
I still don't understand how he wasn't priority #1 the offseason he signed in Pittsburgh. -
Yeah, especially considering they don't really need Bautista with Cutch, Polanco, and Marte around.
-
An A+ ball pitcher deal as the centerpiece in a trade is risky business. If Pittsburgh wants Bautista, it has to be Cole + IMO.
-
ewww
-
It's actually kind of a perfect fit in that they have Cespedes, who would be expendable with Bautista + Victorino + Craig + JBJ in the fold. He'd allow the team to still compete this year, while cashing out on Bautista to acquire Betts + someone else.
-
lol, that bad?
-
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+
