  1. I'd like to drag this out until the DDL Waiver draft starts so we have continuous action. It probably will anyway, this draft isn't ending until Friday at the earliest.
  2. Why do you still have a list? Just put everybody you like on your Watch List and deselect them as they get drafted. I really don't think your z scores matter one iota at this point.
  3. Chomping at the bit to get your replacement level pitcher, are we?
  4. Who's up? We've hit a wall here.
  5. Cool, if we could get to my next pick before 5, that would be tits.

  8. Did anybody PM pussywagon?
  9. Not at all threadworthy.

  11. SV% shouldn't even be a stat. That's like RBI%.
  12. $15M guaranteed is still a lot of money, though. You can live the rest of your life on that QO, no problem. Even if your arm blows up and you never pitch again, you probably have insurance for that anyway. I would take $15M guaranteed one a 1 year deal rather than $30M guaranteed over 3 years, if I were Storen, given his age and ability.
  13. More to this point, if Storen turned down a QO next year to take a 3 year, $27M contract, what he'd actually be doing is locking himself into 2 extra years @ $6M AAV, which is a great way to lose money if you're Drew Storen. In order for Storen to decline the QO, he'd have to have a pretty good idea that some team was going to pay him 2/$30 or more while giving up a comp pick for the privilege.
  14. Shapiro is probably sitting there thinking to himself, "I can get decent back-end bullpen guys through any number of avenues. I have a possible mid-to-upper rotation, cost-controlled pitcher with great stuff, I'm going to see what he can become as a starter." His history suggests this, and unless Osuna flat out says he no longer wants to be a starter, I see no reason not to pursue it, at least for a season or two.
  15. You also don't make sub-optimal roster decisions based on possible future arb payouts, that's just idiotic. If Osuna is the better pitcher, he will close more games... unless of course Shapiro can convince Gibby that the entire concept of closers is outmoded.
  16. 0% chance Storen gets an AAV higher than the QO amount. Zero. Maybe he'll want that extra year guaranteed, maybe he'll just take the money and roll the dice again the following year.
  17. Re: bolded part, Shapiro obviously didn't care about that with Salazar and Carrasco, who both had major durability concerns and arm injuries.
  18. omg boxy taking for f***ing ever
  19. I also really don't think one less year of saves is going to affect Osuna's arb as much as you guys think. He'll still be save-collecting again by the time he even goes to arb.
  20. You don't offer a QO to a guy unless you're comfortable paying him that amount. Mark Shapiro has said this verbatim. The idea of having Storen on the books next year @ ~$15M is highly unsettling. I think you guys are vastly overstating how big of a consideration that will be.
