  1. Meh, we got the last laugh on him. I wouldn't waste any time actively hating him.
  2. Can't disagree with anything Holland said, really. If Jose was on any other team I'd feel the same way. He complains about EVERYTHING.
  3. That really was a MONSTER blast. He got badly exposed as the year went on, however, and as expected by the scouting reports, he struck out much more frequently against advanced pitching.
  4. Ellsbury was much higher than Top 70 before his injury. I don't think what we saw this year was indicative of a major decline in skill so much as it was a hobbled player. I'm biased though, but at least I will admit it.
  5. Marco Estrada has the Changiest Changeup http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/marco-estrada-has-maybe-the-changiest-changeup/
  6. Care to share your pre-draft Top 100 with us so we can see the math that helped you arrive at a Top 70 valuation? 20 steals doesn't get him there with a 120 wRC+.
  7. Ellsbury had a .412 OBP, 124 wRC+ before his knee injury this year. With the offseason to recoup, he should again be pretty valuable next year. I'd comfortably take him ahead of Souza in a 2016 redraft.
  8. That's a far cry from the Top 50 player you projected him to be, though.
  9. You didn't find the posts where North's projections had Souza at #45 on his big board and #69 on JFaS'? At the time he projected for 20/20 with a .340+ wOBA. I'm pretty sure a 120 wRC+ OF isn't ending up in anybody's Top 70.
  10. You're banking on me being too lazy to try to search for those posts, and you're right to do so.
  11. I really don't think all this s*** matters in the playoffs. He'll be so amped up, one less day of rest is probably a bit helpful.
  12. No, that was revised later. Don't conveniently forget s*** on my watch.
  13. If anybody tries to use next-season projections as a negotation tactic with me in October, we're done.
  14. Weren't you all fapping this time last year when Souza Jr was projected for like a 145 wRC+? OMG the Rays r so smrt! Going to win all my leagues this year! LOLLLLL
  15. That just gives the Jays more leverage. The Volquez deal is a good benchmark, and a bit added for inflation and good will.
  16. You could always pick up his option and trade him. Regardless of the bad taste in our mouths, he is an asset at $12M.
  17. He is sort of in hand though, a QO is a significant deterrent for a lot of potential suitors. It's not nothing, at least. Then again, can Estrada really be expected to hold up for 200 IP? That's not something we can really bank on over a 2-3 year deal.
  18. I wouldn't even extend a QO to Buehrle, he looked completely done down the stretch. Not to mention, we really need to free up his salary if we are going to make a run at Price or Greinke, which I think we will.
  19. I actually feel like the most likely team to sign him other than the Jays is the Royals. Not just because of how he's pitched against them, but because they love that type of underrated pitcher and his tendencies would play well in their park.
  20. Disagree. Volquez just signed for two years, $16M + a $10M team option, coming off a very similar season.
  21. So you think we're going to let the Executive of the Year walk after reaching the ALCS? K...
  22. Hmmm... that just feels a lot more reasonable than $17M. Considering the draft pick compensation that would be attached, I would probably offer it. That would force any other team to cough up a 1st in addition to forking over probably $30M+, and I'm not sure any teams will do that for him.
  23. Yeah, actually. The way AA gets extensions done, I think we'll resign Estrada for something like 2 years, $20M + a $12M team option for 2018.
  24. I can't see how he would turn down a QO that high.
