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.
-
Would be analogous to like Seattle or the White Sox giving Kenley Jansen 5/85, and then trying to compete in 2017 on a mid-range payroll. Maybe not the ideal move for them, but not obviously terrible either.
-
I don't think I've ever seen anyone call Ryan a good signing. Every discussion about JP has people mocking that deal, with nobody defending it. Burnett yes.
-
So, with everyone advocating giving the biggest relief contract ever to Jansen/Chapman, should we admit that we were maybe too hard on JPR for BJ Ryan? He was unquestionably on that level when Toronto gave him 5/47 after 2005. Then his arm exploded.
-
Strong starters, balanced offence with speed and platooning...
BTS replied to Driveof85's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Every rotation is going to go tits up in a hurry. The most important things are that the rotation looks good in 2017, and is not owed money long term. Check and check. -
He still doesn't hit the market until the 8th.
-
Mods, I'm being repeatedly attacked by BBBB with no provocation. I expect a warning to be issued, followed by a lengthy ban if this behaviour persists. Thx, BTS
