  1. s*** bag marlins reliever that greenwood somehow got frenchsoup to give him a 2nd for.
  2. Normally I'd be mocking the BBDL over this
  3. lol, yeah. Factors 2 and 4 probably mean he'd stay, all else being equal, unlike most free agents who treat Canada like Siberia.
  4. Players always pay lip service to the fans by saying that they want to stay, and 99% of the time that means "offer me as much as everyone else and I'll stay". If the team wants Edwin, you have to assume that they'll have to pay him as much or more than any other team is willing to pay him.
  5. Usually it's assumed that two teams will work something out (like trade him for the guy he's cutting to make room), and if that doesn't work one of the two parties will ask a commish to do it manually via pm or post in the league thread. It was just odd to see someone say the trade was never processed, like the onus wasn't on you guys to make sure that it was.
  6. Yeah, he's not a pure DH in the same vein that Ortiz or V-Mart are. What I meant was that his only actual value to a team comes from his bat, which makes it especially concerning that that one real skill showed signs of decline this year. Yeah, he can play a serviceable 1B defense 70 times a year, but that doesn't carry any value if the bat declines.
  7. Well, he's averaged like 70 games of average 1B defense a year, and we're talking about his 34-37 seasons. If he's not a bat-only player over his next contract, he's as close as you can get to one. I don't think NL teams look at him.
  8. I actually like z3r0s' original idea.
  9. The prospect of giving $100M to a 34-year old bat-only player who just had a 4% jump in K-rate and 15% decline in wRC+ is scary.
  10. lol, why didn't you guys process the Wittgren deal yourselves through yahoo?

    Get used to that Matthews
  12. He's making fun of Grant.
  13. Available for picks: Jose Peraza Cameron Rupp Santiago Casilla Ender Inciarte Seth Lugo Edubray Ramos
  14. fatcow, please read more books. Sincerely, BJMB community
  15. The same thing that will happen here if Rogers drops payroll back to the bottom-5. I don't think that Shapiro would actually throw Cleveland's ownership under the bus.
  16. I doubt very much that he cared.
  17. Yeah. Even in cases like Lucroy's, future salary would have been on his mind when Cleveland told him he wouldn't be a full time catcher next year.
  18. You don't think a player's relationship with players, management, and coaches impacts his decision to stay with his team, or sign with a new one? Of course it does. That's human nature.
  19. I've always thought that despite what they have to say in the media, team success is probably like the 5th or 6th most important factor in deciding where to play: 1. salary 2. how much the city works for them and their family 3. tax impacts of living in that city 4. relationships they have with people employed by the team 5. odds of team success The fans like to assume that 5 is everything, and generally the players play along.
  20. The Lucroy meme is stupid.
  21. Only reason I think they might hesitate is that he was banged up to end the season. But with their staff in shambled, you kind of have to ride your ace as far as he can take you.
  22. Looking at the schedule, I think we could see Kluber 3 times: Friday - Kluber (5+ days rest) Saturday - Bauer (5+ days rest) Monday - Tomlin (5 days rest) Tuesday - Kluber (3 days rest) Wednesday - Bauer (3 days rest) Saturday - Kluber (3 days rest) Would they pitch him twice in a row on 3 days? Would that even be preferable to twice and a Clevinger/bullpen game?
  23. Cleveland is an interesting team. Their roster doesn't seem strong without Brantley, Salazar, and Carrasco. Maybe it isn't. But they have a lot of tough outs with their set 1-6 and dual OF platoons 7-8. We're gonna see some well-managed fundamental beisbol.
