  1. I think the problem is that KingKat is our only active mod.
  2. Can we please permaban this moron?
  3. 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.
  4. Mods, please ban BBBB. Thx.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. I think that's ultimately what ends up happening. The most likely outcome is probably that he's traded a year from now.
  12. He only has two years left. If the team decides not to extend him, his value only goes down from here.
  13. 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.
  14. 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?

    How long do you think until Andersen is buried in the AHL?

    I really have no idea why that front-office decided to move a 1st and 2nd for a mediocre goalie then extend him for 5/25, but I'm pretty happy about what moves like that and Matt Martin says about their process.

    Freddy Andersen working out really well so far.
  18. Anybody with poor CF depth want Ender Inciarte? Slashed 341/386/440 in the 2nd half.
  19. Lawrie, JPA, Cecil, Romero, Jansen, Thames. The future. Those were some dark times.
  20. I don't see the Sox trading Eaton for a pitcher. They already have Sale, Quintana, and Rodon anchoring the rotation. Their lineup depth is trash.
  21. He certainly didn't. It was a shortsighted panic move that I thought would fail miserably.
