Blue Jays kicking tires on Shields
Dr. Dinger replied to Angrioter's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Meh, I'd give him the NTC. It's not like he'll be dying to stay here if it's just him, Reyes and Martin. -

James Shields is a damn good pitcher, and he'd likely be our best pitcher. I really don't give even a tiny f*** about our 2018 payroll -- if we don't win this year or next, it's all going to be torn down anyway. -

Why not? -
Sounds like a pro.
-
No.
-
I figured it was either you or nox talking sense in to him. Far be it for him to make a decision on his own.
-
Ok, let's not bring those negotiations public after your bait and switch move.
-
I think he gets traded. If not, he can hit his way to playing time.
-
I offered Craig for Fiers, but jaysblue insisted on Moss. I expect Craig to be good again, hence I'm banking on him as my primary bench bat. He was one of the best hitters in baseball until his Lisfranc injury.
-
I'd rather not deal Bautista or Braun to keep Moss, clearly.
-
I don't trust Fiers at all. No one really believes in Moss, but as much as I like him, I don't see his value increasing any more.
-
Going by the LOD draft (just as a reference, derp) no other pitcher in the Top 155 was offered for Moss. The best I could have done was something older but also warty, like Gallardo, Fiers, or Leake.
-
Yeah, no surprises here. We're all aware of his warts and strengths. The bottom line is, this is still an ERA league, and Marlins park is exceptional at supressing runs... especially HR.
-
Agreed, or at least the NL. I do expect him to keep the ERA in the low 3s in the near future, though I don't expect to ever get a lot of Ks. The BB rate is very nice however, so he's a solid OBPA play also.
-
I think if he's healthy, there's no reason he can't give you 30/90 this year.
-
Confirmed, I'll process. Thanks to all you other scrooges who lowballed me, also.
-
Steamer actually projects Moss to improve next year: 28 HR, 132 wRC+ Upton: 23 HR, 124 wRC+ Kemp: 20 HR, 124 wRC+ Springer: 28 HR, 117 wRC+ Jones: 27 HR, 116 wRC+ Donaldson: 26 HR, 127 wRC+ Harper: 25 HR, 137 wRC+
-
It isn't a statement of overall value, no one would argue that Moss is more valuable than Rizzo. This is sheer power output, and Moss has 55 HR over the last two seasons. If that's decline, I can live with it. Gallardo's alright but I'm aiming higher. I have an offer in hand for a similar but younger pitcher.
-
2012-2014 AB/HR 13.8 EE 13.8 Crush 14.4 GCS 14.9 Bautista 15.5 Ortiz 15.8 Miggy 15.9 Moss 17.4 Tulo 18.8 Trout 20.3 Goldy 21.0 Rizzo 21.0 Beltre Elite power source, even in a terrible park.
-
Just to let everyone know, I'm shopping Brandon Moss for a pitcher. I have a couple offers on the table and will probably pull the trigger soon, so if you're interested in a guy who has more HR since 2012 than Upton, Pujols, Rizzo, and Longoria, inquire soon!
-
I'd give up #25 for him if I could spare the roster spot.
-
That looks like 100% pure beer.
-
Tanaka, Ventura, Bundy, and Giolito should make for a nice rotation someday soon. You're welcome.
-
We're the only team that has publicly announced such a policy. It's basically neutered our bargaining position.
-
It was a couple months into his breakout, when no one really believed in him. In fact, at the time I said something dumb like "nice job selling high on him."
