    Ha, weren't there a bunch of people outraged about the mother in the whole Harambe incident?

    With all due respect, aren't you an 18-19 year old who has spent his entire life under the watchful eye of parents who are at least middle class? I ask because you often come off as really judgemental on topics like this, maybe overlooking the idea that not everyone has the same experience as you.

    I get a kick out of the black and white internet mentality in which people are defined by their worst mistakes. Actually I don't, it's really sad.

    Trading with the Dodgers makes me nervous. Their only catcher next year is Grandal, who tends to get hurt, so it seems like a great chance to break Barnes in. If they don't want to do that, why not?

    Please no Jeff Mathis. We're finally rid of that parasite Thole. Replacing him with Thole v1.1 would be so unsexy.

    Cleveland is going to pick up his option, without question.
  7. BTS
    Maybin would be nice, but I think Detroit will pick up his $9M option.

    There isn't really an argument for him winning last year, unless your issue is with requiring a CF, LF, and RF to win.

    Wow!

    I think the problem is that KingKat is our only active mod.

    haha got em!

    I agree with you, but in the context of this discussion, Turner isn't likely interested in signing with a team that already has JD, and the money it would likely cost to get him to play 1B primarily will be prohibitive, because you're still paying for his high-end 3B defense.

    Mods, please ban BBBB. Thx.
  14. BTS
    lol, the current team costs like $117M and probably finishes under 0.500. Less than 140M would basically be impossible given the current structure of the team.

    There was an article on FG a few weeks ago talking about player peaks. IIRC Donaldson's 5-year peak is one of the top-100 in MLB history, and that includes his 1.5 win 2012. This isn't Vernon Wells. This is a HOF caliber talent. Obviously there's still risk, but as you say, we're talking a completely different quality of player.
  16. BTS
    These two were so bizarre. They really stick out, because everything else they've done was logical and well-thought out. The Smoak deal in particular just didn't make any sense.
  17. BTS
    Yeah, you're right 13.5 fWAR so far on the deal. 9.33M/WAR if he adds nothing next year. If he adds a win and gets it down to ~8.7M/win over the life of the contract, it's not a disaster. I doubt they have any serious regrets, though if he were healthier it obviously would have been better.
  18. BTS
    Jayson Werth (7/126 starting at 32) was fine Cano (10/240 starting at 31) looks like it might actually be OK - already 13.3 fWAR Holliday (7/120 starting at 30) was fine Beltre (5/96 starting at 32) You'd have to really believe in the player. And you really don't want to go past 37-38. Anything taking the player to 39-40 is probably a terrible idea.
  19. BTS
    But would it be insane to pay big bucks for 33-38? You probably only have that option by starting the contract now. Otherwise you're looking 33-39 or 33-40.
  20. BTS
    I think that's ultimately what ends up happening. The most likely outcome is probably that he's traded a year from now.
  21. BTS
    You thought wrong.
  22. BTS
    Turner is a free agent.
  23. BTS
    He only has two years left. If the team decides not to extend him, his value only goes down from here.
  24. BTS
    I really don't know if I'd do it or not. I have my doubts that Shatkins will see this as a wise investment.
  25. BTS
    Assuming payroll goes to around 160M, and he's interested in tearing up the 1/17 left on his contract to talk long-term extension. Remember that he has two remaining years of team control, and is entering his age-31 season. Looking at Cano's 10/240 deal entering his age-32 season, and Greinke's 6/206 entering his age-32 season, the bare minimum for JD seems to be 8/200. Probably closer to 9/250 than that though. Would you do it?
