Dickey is having his worst season as a Jay, but he's had at least some utility: he's still been worth about a win. He's actually been better than what most teams have thrown out as their 5th starter, even though it doesn't look pretty. He's probably not going to get 10-12M again this offseason, but there's still a price point at which it makes baseball sense to bring him back. What is that price? 4-5M + no personal catcher to pitch in a long relief/6th starter role? I'd probably decline just because I hate watching him and even the possibility of seeing Josh Thole back makes me sick, but you can easily make a baseball case for bringing him back.

Can't root for the underdog brah

I don't know. I'm not really on the "he should be dumped" train, just the "that contract makes me nervous and it would be nice to replace him with a less risky alternative" train. Just last offseason Brad Miller was acquired for a swingman, Jonathan Villar was picked up off the scrap heap, and Asdrubal Cabrera was signed for 2/18.5. If the team can find someone they project for at least 1.5 wins for minimal investment, then dumping Tulo and putting the $80M towards something else (JD extension?) makes sense.
-
I hate the underdog. I'd probably root for Dinger, but I think he's the BORED favourite, and I can't imagine how insufferable he'd be if he won both. I think I'll join FTD's corner.
-
Average shortstop wRC+ is 96, and Tulo is at 104. So he's a bit above average offensively for his position. Defense grades as above-average, but not elite. Given his age, you'd probably project him to be about average offensively and defensively next year.
-
Yeah. The complete lack of anything resembling a viable in-house replacement means you can't trade him unless you have a deal lined up to bring someone else in. And they probably only jump through those hoops if they want to cut down on their long term financial commitment to accommodate a Donaldson extension or something.
-
A factor in the team's favour is the very weak FA market. But 4/80 is a lot for a 32-year old you'd likely project at 2-3 wins, and who has a long injury history. And a lot of teams with money to spend have a shortstop in-house who is average or better. Maybe the Tigers or Mariners? Would Seattle add a 20M per year player?
-
I'd be very surprised if anyone would take it on without the team adding money or some other value.
-
Very bold move starting that shitbag Dickey on a Monday.
-
Damn, Grandal's hair has abandoned him. Time to shave that s***.
-
Grandal!
-
Turner just hit one out too. Greinke is getting destroyed.
-
And Corey Seager goes deep!
-
Goddamn Dinger, your offense is scary good.
-
Wow, that's huge.
-
Starting Boyd and Anderson tomorrow Spittin?
-
I was going to say that you should s*** talk someone with a worse track record than you in dynasty leagues, but...
-
I don't think I have a bad offense. I'm pretty sure I'm easily top-10 over the last 2-3 months. I'm better at this than you are.
-
I made enough right decisions to finish ahead of you in the standings.
-
Chad Bettis can f*** right off.
-
OK, good talk. The debate started as a discussion as to why RA-9 WAR matters more than fWAR for Dickey. You called the entire explanation a load of s***. You offered no actual reason why you thought it was a load of s***. Now you're bumping the debate months later, apparently very upset, even though you've never actually taken the time to have what could have been a non-confrontational discussion.
-
You literally have not said what premise it is you disagreed with other than a vague "lol you're dumn Dickey suxxx". I'll make it easy for you and lay out the five possible areas for disagreement: 1. knuckleballers tend to post ERAs lower than their FIPs 2. RA Dickey is a knuckleballer 3. RA Dickey has posted an ERA lower than his FIP for 7 consecutive seasons 4. fact #3 is not likely attributable to luck given that facts 1 and 2 are true 5. because of all of this FIP-based WAR will undervalue his contributions I expect no response, because you've ducked every other time I've invited you do do more than spew incoherent s*** all over the place.
-
Holy s***, the True Cards had an above-average offense!
-
Good friend of mine I'd like to hold a 1st round exit over him
-
Enjoy your last 3 games with him!
