    Pretty surprised he projects that poorly actually. Would have guessed like 1-1.5 WAR over most of a season

    Is the difference between Rosario and Lourdes Gurriel 40+M?
  3. BTS
    Minor league deal for Eddie Rosario

    The bots have struck back with renewed vigor and retaken the OT forum

    Somebody please sign this poor man

    This reads like a tongue-in-cheek Terminator post, only it’s 100% serious

    I can't tell if he's getting The Bauer treatment or not. It's been crickets all offseason with him

    Their rotation is hilarious. Tanner Houck and Garrett Whitlock are their 4/5, then I guess Brandon Walter and Cooper Criswell? They're going to give up a lot of runs.

    Seems to have kind of worked. Down to about half a dozen spam threads today. Is there a functionality to prevent new accounts from starting threads until they have, say, 10 posts? Edit: actually it hasn't helped

    Somewhere Frenchsoup is heartbroken

    IKF needs to either out-WAR Chapman or completely bomb. Anything in between is wasted potential for BJMB hilarity

    I still kind of think JD Davis makes sense. They'd have to jettison Espinal, but that's fine. Get him out of SF and he'll run unto 20 dingers and a wRC+ over 105. Neither him nor IKF have a platoon split, but they might have different splits vs. different pitcher types or something. Davis starting 4- times a week at 3B with IKF getting the other 2-3 and then coming in as a defensive replacement if the team has the lead might be the best way to squeeze value out of 3B.

    88 wins and a WC spot

    Most likely outcome is probably that those signings were just fine in the aggregate, and the team is just fine in 2024. Not great. I think they'd probably like to find someone who's A) worthy of 300m+ of their money, and wants to take it from them. But until that happens, I think these safe short term deals are fine.

    It's weird seeing them take so much criticism over their read of the FA market. They're a big budget team that has actually done a very good job spending money. Springer is probably the only underwater contract on the books, but he's still an above average player on the back half of a FA deal that looks like it's going to be a fine signing.

    Dodgers just gave Heyward 9M for 1 year and Hernandez 4M. Joe Kelly 8M. Rays gave Phil Maton 6.5M Braves gave Joe Jimenez 3/26 and Reynaldo Lopez 3/30 Orioles have Kimbrel 13M Phillies gave Merrifield 8M Throwing 7.5M x 2 years at a guy they probably think is about league average just isn't a big deal.
  18. BTS
    Like, the team clearly thinks they're getting a league-average 3B. That's the evaluation that actually matters here, not a couple of million dollars,
  19. BTS
    But we're still just talking about minor end of roster pieces. If IKF is as good as the team thinks he is (and they almost certainly think he's better than Urshela), nobody will care that he makes 7.5M this year instead of 2 or 4 or whatever. And if he's not, the big mistake will have been turning 3B over to him in the first place, not maybe paying him a few million more than they might have if they had waited longer.
  20. BTS
    It's a pretty minor misread. I don't know what fair value is for IKF. 2/10? 1/5?
  21. BTS
    This kind of perfectly tracks with the way the Jays have operated this offseason. I would like to retract my reactionary criticism of Ross Atkins. I no longer think he should be walked out by security. Unless IKF gets 500 PA and puts up under 1.5 WAR.
  22. BTS
    3/126 extension for Zack Wheeler
  23. BTS
    Starting to think Espino might earn a 40-man spot
  24. BTS
    You’re probably right that they had a strong idea that Chapman was leaving when they sighed IKF. But my point was that, as late as February 2nd, there was a financial ability to give Chapman the deal he got. That didn’t happen, but not because there wasn’t 20M in the 2024 budget. They either preferred Turner straight up to Chapman all things considered, or Chapman was still holding out for a significantly bigger deal than what he got, or just preferred SF on a 1-year deal.

    Yimi for Davis - who says no?
