1B - Bird SS - Bregman CF - Zimmer OF - Puig OF - Benintendi Util - Olson SP - Berrios/Hendricks/Anderson/Odorizzi/Matz/Hoffman RP - Devenski/Holland Boxy, you should cut the fat from your roster, acquire an ace, 3B, and 2B, and go for it this year. There's no reason for that team to toil close to 20th place unless you spend another season rostering the Valencias/Reeds/Diaz's/Pearces of the world. That's a good team!
-
That’s fine, but indications are that Turris was demanding more than 6x6 from them. There’s a way for this to play out in such a way that Duchene becomes a long term core piece on a fair contract. Granted, anything but that scenario and this deal looks bad.
-
You’re right, I’m sure all the systems will have Garcia at 4 WAR and a wRC+ over 130 next year.
-
36 now You have to think Refsnyder and Maile are next up.
-
I have all the best fake words.
-
Sure. But projecting Garcia for a wRC+ in the 130s and around 4 wins is completely unreasonable. I bet no projection systems do it!
-
He’ll pribavly stay in STL. They just didn’t want to pay the projected 7.8M arb salary.
-
Two year deal with a cheap 2018 plz. Get it done Shatkins.
-
That seems decidedly unreasonable to me.
-
Yeah, that’s what I dug up too. Really like this.
-
GB guy who at least used to have legit stuff. I wonder if a move to the pen can help him stay healthy and help the stuff play up.
-
Same. He has intriguing upside. Any idea if he has option years left?
-
Raffy Lopez, Leonel Campos, Luis Santos, Taylor Cole outrighted

Why is Clayton Richard ranked 22nd on that list?
-
I see a 2.5% increase in FB rate, small improvements to PD stats that probably don't support a 4-5% drop in K-rate, and similar contact quality to what he did in 2016. If I'm looking for a driver for his big 2017, the 0.392 BABIP - 72 points higher than the career 320 mark he had entering the year - looks like far and away the biggest reason for his success. His steamer projection (111 wRC+, league average player) seems pretty reasonable to me.
-
It really depends on whether or not Duchene re-signs.
-
If they do turn it around before then, it will be largely on the back of Freeman, Albies and Acuna, none of whom are even a product of their rebuild. They`ve done such a terrible job collecting talent over the last three years.
-
It's kind of amazing how bad Atlanta's rebuild was. Three years in a row with less than 73 wins, and their top-10 prospect list consists of three bats signed via international free agency, and 7 pitchers. They've been terrible for three years in order to collect Ender Inciarte and a bunch of semi-interesting pitching prospects.
-
I wouldn't be buying. It looks like the biggest difference between Garcia in 2017 and Garcia previously is about 70 points of BABIP. His floor is so low. Also, he's pretty fat.
-
And, I'm spent
-
Probably not going to keep two catchers, so one of Zunino and Ramos is available.
-
I don't really understand this. Was Turris not willing to sign that same deal to stay in Ottawa? Hopefully the Senators can work out a long-term extension with Duchene.
-
Very, very unlikely that this FO trades someone like Bichette for a guy with two years of control remaining. Their MO the last two offseasons has been to make short-term additions without borrowing anything from the future. That will almost certainly be the approach again this offseason.
-
Probably a couple of very good prospects.
