I think you could make a case for trading Bautista for Betances. Maybe. Can't think of another one.
-
Moving discussions to different threads is over moderation IMO. Discussions should be able to follow a natural course as long as nobody is trolling. This isn't HFboards.
-
Are the Red Sox going to acquire a front rotation starter this offseason, or is the plan to roster five Wade Mileys again?
-
I don't really understand the desire to keep Price. He's going to exceed 210M on a 7-year deal and he's already 30. If they do that, they have him, Martin, Tulo, and Donaldson locked in at ~90M, with Bautista and Edwin costing another 40+ if they're retained. I really think they should be looking at 2nd-tier free agent arms like Chen, Anderson, Leake, Lacke, Samardzija, Latos. Preferably on a 1-year commitment. Bautista, Edwin, Dickey, Cecil and Smoak all hit free agency after next year. A big pitching contract this offseason could really tie their hands.
-
He was pretty good after the trade, and has no real injury history. I think he'll become a rotation fixture in Detroit, though it's probably as a league-average inning eater more than as a front-rotation guy barring further improvements.
-
It gets interesting after next season. Martin, Tulo, and Donaldson will cost $60M. Edwin and Jose will be looking at 20M+ each. So if the team wants to keep that core together they're looking at 100M for 5 players in 2017.
-
The team needs to put their nerds to work here. The considerations would be something like: Dickey expected ERA = 3.9ish? + Dickey effect for bullpen and Price (but weakened for Price because of the day off) Price expected ERA = 3.2ish + some kind of signficant penalty for going on three days rest And it's not just Dickey vs. Price. You have to consider that rested Price + Dickey effect is better than rested Stroman with no Dickey effect in game 5.
-
I'm still pretty dubious about Rogers being wiling to take payroll to another level. Hidden beneath the feel-good deadline additions were Revere's salary being covered by Philadelphia and Valencia and his salary being shown the door. I think it will be surprising if they're above ~130 next year. Watching them maneuver this will be the most interesting thing to follow over the next 15-16 months.
-
If I started that thread before the team was eliminated I'd be tarred, feathered, drawn, and quartered.
-
Definitely Hamels in game 5. He'll be on 4 days rest. No way they sit him and hope Gallardo's smoke and mirrors work again.
-
Holland hasn't really been Holland this year though. I know Lewis sucks, but I'd rather have a s***** RHP than a s***** LHP start against Toronto. If I'm Texas I close it out with Perez, then Lewis, then Hamels and use Holland in the pen.
-
Why is Texas starting Holland and Perez over Lewis? That makes no sense.
-
No, that's not what's happening at all. They are as good as people thought they were. Good teams sometimes lose games to mediocre teams. Playoffs are a crapshoot. -
He might be out, but the call on the field wasn't egregious, and there isn't conclusive evidence to have the call overturned. I hope this doesn't turn into years of 'MLB hates Canada' whining.
-
Pretty excited about reedjohnsonfan losing his account. Silver linings!
-
lol, the Rangers are awful and the Jays are the best team in baseball. Sometimes the better team loses.
-
Wow Ross Ohlendorf just shut that s*** down with authority
-
lmao at Ohlebdorf closing a playoff game I love baseball
-
It's not even over. Kela isn't that good and has already thrown 15 pitches.
-
Huh? Alberto made a huge error and Beltre is an elite defender.
-
To be fair, this game is over 2 hours ago with Beltre in
-
Kela to close for Texas?
-
I liked it. Game on the line id much rather face Tulo than Edwin.
-
Beltre's injury having an impact.
