I don't really know why you'd assume incompetence from Kinzer instead of assuming he had a decent handle on the situation and presented the facts to Edwin honestly and let him make up his mind.
-
ECJF has become a Sportsnet comments level casual lol
-
The call was Edwin's, not Kinzer's. Edwin made his peace with leaving when he declined the offer. He was willing to change cities to make sure that there was nothing better on the market, which is likely all it will cost him.
-
I don't think anyone really has anything to hang their head over here. Edwin understandably decided to decline 4/80 so he could test the market. He ends up with 3/65 guaranteed, and a decent chance to get the 4/80 that was originally on the table. In the end, he'll get similar money at the cost of changing addresses, but to a very good and well-managed Cleveland team. Toronto made what looks like a fair offer in free agency, and it was rejected. They didn't want to wait on Edwin, so they secured what they think is a player who can replace a lot of what Edwin was going to bring, at half the cost. They go from Edwin to Morales + ~$32M over three years + 1st round pick. I think they're satisfied with that.

There it is. 3/65 guarantee.
-
This is a pretty huge deal for a 34-year old 1B/DH.
-
He might actually come out ahead. Overall, he really didn't get seriously burned by declining the reported 4/80 offer. Do we know for sure that that offer didn't include a team option?
-
Sounds like he has a 3/65 guarantee (5M buyout on the 4th year). Not far off from 4/80

Still willing to move Ass Dribble in deal for SP.
-
Nope. Not a Pompey kind of guy.

You bring this type of thing up often when people throw guesses on the long-term value of a contract. I think you understand that there's no way of knowing how individual teams will account for their current spot on the win curve, or how they'll value 2020 wins relative to 2017 wins. Everyone else in the conversation understands that it's all back of napkin math: estimates with known unknowns that facilitate conversation. You pop in from time to time and snarkily point out what everyone knows: that this is all rough math for discussion purposes. You're very much the annoying pedant in a lecture that won't shut the f*** up about minutiae.

He's making the point that we're estimating that teams will be willing to pay $10.5M per 2020 win in 2019, but might not be willing to invest $10.5M per 2020 win in 2017. Given that everyone but RJF seems to understand that these discussions are based on rough models that represent our best guesses at how much value the team places on a win, and thus have very big error bars, it's not an interesting point to make. Yet another example of RJF trying to sound smart while actually coming across as an idiot and adding nothing relevant to the conversation. He'll complete the cycle next time he whines about the level of discourse on the forum while adding nothing but s*** posts himself.

but I love objectifying women and am just not interested in objectifying men

The way the sentence was worded implied that Dermody, with his flow from the left side, reminded him of Scott Downs.

your dumn
-
Are you trolling me?
-
Is that for the 25-man, or for the 40-man + all of the other costs that count towards the luxury tax?
-
Dat dad bod

Glad to finally have you aboard the Quintana hype train dinger. It's a thoroughly unsexy but incredibly efficient ride!
-
Didn't we just have an exchange where you were complaining that the dialogue on this site is generally bad and tends to be unnecessarily confrontational? Why respond to something intended as a conversation starter with what amounts to "lol you were so wrong 8 years ago"?
-
Does Kendrys Morales have mutual option after this year?
BTS replied to pickoff22's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
This is the first I see of that. Edit: His last contract with KC had a 2017 mutual option. He declined it. -
He was talking about Ross you f***ing moron.
-
They have Cespedes, Bruce, Granderson, Conforto, Lagares, and Nimmo.
-
Give the man what he wants.
