    Yes.

    The parallel you drew between the Rios and Escobar situations made it sound like you thought the Rios move was also a loss in value, and that it wasn't fair to criticize AA for the Escobar move but not Ricciardi for the Rios move.
  3. BTS
    I pointed it out because there seemed to be some confusion (not just on your end) as to whether or not it made baseball sense to let Rios go. It did. Letting him go was the right choice, because he earned more money than he was worth. That's in contrast to Escobar, who was worth more money than he earned over the course of his contract. I'm not going to guess at how credit/blame should be attributed, but as far as baseball moves go, the Rios decision was correct and the Escobar decision was not.

    I've seen a few people criticize Ricciardi for letting Rios get claimed by the White Sox. After the claim, Rios put up 7.7 fWAR for about $61M. That's about $7.9M/win from 2009-2014. When the FO believed in 2009 that he wouldn't be worth the remainder of his contract, they were right. It wouldn't have been terrible to keep him, but the contract they walked away from was not a good one.

    Well said!

    Wade Davis OTB for a high-end prospect
  7. BTS
    :(

    Wade Davis is a machine

    Trout had a wOBA 17 points higher than Donaldson despite playing in a much worse park for hitters. There was clear separation between the two this year, with Trout ahead.

    5 more years.

    Probably. I doubt they'd have much interest in moving one of their big arms for him though. Something around Bauer?
  12. BTS
    I don't see it. They have A-Rod, Tex, and Bird for 1B/DH.

    I think that every time I see his name on next year's FA list. Doesn't seem like he's been around 6 years. Some team is going to seriously regret their decision in a few years I think.

    Never read the MLBTR comments: "Can definitely see Gallardo taking a 1 year deal to sign with a team like Seattle, San Diego or Oakland so he can hit next years market and be a top 3 SP – this market this offseason is too stacked and he’s a very good pitcher when he’s on, he still has a very true #2 ceiling or even an ace. IMO the only pitcher better than him in 2016 is Strasburg, and some folks might even prefer Gallardo and his superior health record. Over the last 7 years he’s given between 180-207 IP with a 3.77 FIP and he’s 30 in 2016. I’m not sure he can get $100M this offseason, but absolutely next one he could go huge if he plays his situation right."

    Yup. Trout should have won this in a landslide.

    Your argument was basically "I like the Blue Jays. Edwin's a Blue Jay. Therefore I like Edwin and he's not declining". And I never made a statement other than to say that his numbers were getting to the point where you have to be a bit concerned that he's not a 150 wRC+ guy anymore. And they were getting to that point. That's why projections dropped consistently throughout the first three months. If you feel compelled to call me out for being wrong, there are endless examples to choose from. This is not one.
  17. BTS
    It's not about being right and wrong, but nuanced arguments tend to get lost on you. The exchanges went something like: "It's halfway through the season and Edwin's K-rate and BB-rate are getting concerning. They stabilize pretty quickly" "Edwin's fine mate. Don't be stupid, he's not declining!" "Maybe not, but at this point you have to be a bit concerned" "No, he's fine!" "..."
  18. BTS
    There's a reason why his projections dropped almost 10% between the offseason and the end of June. When he does decline, it will look like his first 300 PA this year (drop in BB rate, spike in K-rate etc...). If you looked at that and didn't acknowledge that it was a bit concerning you weren't being honest.
  19. BTS
    I think I just said 150 and didn't specify the years. Anyway, he's a year and a half younger than Tulowitzki. And an important point: I've never actually said that Tulo's contract is bad. Just that it's about what I'd expect him to get via free agency, and I don't think it has any trade value. IMO most teams wouldn't take that deal on.
  20. BTS
    Not 5/150 lol. Maybe close to 150 on a 7-year deal.
  21. BTS
    I'd disagreed with him, but never thought he was a troll.
  22. BTS
    It's true.
  23. BTS
    I dunno. Seattle has Miller and Marte Mets have Flores Yanks have Gregorius Twins are poor
  24. BTS
    I'm sure he never thought of trying this.
  25. BTS
    I have no idea, but hopefully it never goes back to that kind of situation.
