Valbuena > Thames > Kendrick for me

You're wrong
-
Perez over Sanchez and Gattis is egregious
-
Is this a real life post? You want to give a 34-year old DH whose numbers slipped this year 125M?
-
Are we doing a free agent signing contest again?
BTS replied to FrozenRopes's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I hear King is going to run it this year, and donate $100 to the winner. Thanks King! -
I expected it to be about that much, but what an uninspiring start to the offseason for Braves fans. I'd be pretty disappointed if Toronto just gave him that.
-
I just saw Ken Rosanthal post on twitter that Edwin signed a 5/145 contract with Toronto and almost died at my desk.
-
Feels so good to enter an offseason with a 5-man rotation of starters who are at least average. I don't think that's ever happened before.
-
I don't disagree. I wouldn't make that deal.
-
I think it's obvious to everyone that the numbers change depending on the other moving parts. My point was that a rigid analysis like the one done above, while useful, probably doesn't have much actual utility because we have no idea how the front office values wins at their projected place on the win curve.
-
I'm so f***ing stoked about this.
-
I keep looking at Valbuena, for all the reasons you list. I'm not sure how capable he is at 2B, but he's fine at 3B and 1B, and the bat plays at DH vs. RHP. I'd probably also be inclined to see how well he handles a corner OF spot.
-
If the FO has fairly reliable reason to believe that McCutchen will bounce back to elite level next year, all of these calculations can be waived away by arguing that the 5 wins from McCutchen are wins 84-88 in the next two years, which makes them worth a lot more than 8M a piece.
-
Well, there are like 4 holes in the team's current lineup rotation.
-
If he didn't like his role in LA he probably wouldn't like the role he'd have here. Most likely scenario would be that he plays a lot in LF, fills in at 2B when Travis is on the DL, and plays some 1B. Not a bad super-utility type as long as LA sees him as a salary dump, but if he's unhappy with that kind of role he's probably not a fit.

what a bunch of crap

2016 Golf Glove Winner: Kiermaier over Pillar
BTS replied to HERPDERP's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Wow, Kiermaier is a handsome well-dressed gentleman and Pillar looks ridiculous. I support this gold glove choice. -
Best payer in the 2016 draft for sure.
-
Lind should probably just retire. He's old, embarrassed himself last year, has made a ton of money, and doesn't even like baseball. Time to get fat.
-
Yeah, committing to Morales for two years @ 10-13 per year seems like a bit much. I'd be a lot more comfortable with a 2nd year option. Also not crazy about locking a DH in so early in the offseason. There are similar hitters available who can also play the field.

I wonder what the team would have been willing to give Bautista before the season when he allegedly demanded 6/180 and then cried to the media that he was being treated unfairly. Probably more than the 3/50 he's going to get.
-
You really think Bautista would leave millions on the table because he got into an altercation with one of their players one time? It must be really hard for NHL players to pick a destination in free agency. Can't go to a team if they employ players fought/hit you before.
-
Johnny Damon and Jacoby Ellsbury went to New York. This rivalry stuff is for the fans. If Texas is the high bidder, he'll happily go and be welcomed with open arms by their fans and players.
-
It's crazy how fast things change in baseball. 15 years ago we all thought closers were super valuable, then WAR came out and we all though relievers were a waste of money, now we think that WAR undervalues the contributions of elite relievers, and think they're pretty valuable again.
