    Why can't he start the year in Buffalo?
  2. Laika
    Think of it as a stock option. If Viciedo's stock (skill) goes up, then, and only then, do you exercise the option.
  3. Laika
    You had an extra waiver pick through trade. #81 would put you at 26 players. It disappeared at the start of the draft, as we've done before in all drafts.
  4. Laika
    All of this discussion is rather silly. The fact that he's on a minor league deal shows you what Toronto thinks of him - not much.

    The end is in sight: 68 SVG - J.A. Happ 69 SPG - Josh Fields 70 BTS - Jason Vargas 71 ZRO - Dan Straily 72 TCA - Chad Qualls 73 NJH - Charlie Furbush 74 JB 75 DD 76 BOX 77 BTS 78 TRM 79 FTD 80 N49 81 GP - went poof 82 KK 83 BOX 84 NJH 85 KK 86 FTD 87 SAM 88 FTD 89 SPG 90 TF 91 ZRO 92 BTS 93 NJH 94 JB 95 ZRO 96 BOX 97 BTS 98 TRM 99 FTD 100 N49

    I'll dive into the Fur Bush. Should I email jaysblue or not?

    50/50s are the best way to build up your bankroll. I'm at like $170 on Fanduel now after starting the year with $10. I only set lineups a couple of times a week too.

    Josh Fields has skeez.

    Well, I think the detractors would simply say that they don't think Tank is "good depth". Certainly BTS, the head of the naysayers, would call him bad depth because of his lack of present baseball skill. In order for Viciedo to actually be "good depth" he would probably have to improve as a baseball player. He's been worth -0.1 fWAR in 1800 career PA, so the past and present version of Dayan getting playing time over someone even as mediocre as Pillar or Valencia could get pretty annoying. And I don't think it's even fair to point to his career splits and say that in a platoon DH role he would be "good depth". See below: Viciedo has just under 500 career PA against lefties.

    whatever turns you on m8
  13. Laika
    Another way to read it is as a DH insurance signing as if a Navarro deal is becoming more likely.

  15. Laika
    apparently Viciedo and Boras split up earlier this month
  16. Laika
    They've also gone to arbitration this offseason and given out contracts with incentives.

    Yeah, his negative impact on team versatility would probably more than negate any hypothetical offensive upgrade against LHP. Valencia's career wRC+ against lefties is much higher too. The only value that Tank really carries is upside value. He has bat speed, easy plus power (double plus raw?), and true spray power to all fields. (chart) At his current skill and projection, he's a liability. He'd have to figure something out to be an asset, but at least some of the tools are such that he's "one click" away from being a guy you'd want on the team.
  19. Laika
    It certainly has a higher chance of being a positive thing than the Santana signing.
  20. Laika
    Did Scott Carson get promoted?
  21. Laika
    I guess if you find defense-first, fringe CF hackers exciting, then he's a treat for the eyes.

    http://m.mlb.com/video/v27112331/cwsmin-viciedo-goes-backtoback-with-dunn/?c_id=mlb http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/0/v35930455/cwsmin-viciedo-launches-a-tworun-homer-to-left hopefully he makes the squad f*** WAR. Kevin Pillar is a terribly boring player.

    Also, amazing nickname http://m.mlb.com/video/v36234729/mincws-viciedo-smacks-a-walkoff-homer-to-left/?query=viciedo http://m.mlb.com/video/v35930455/cwsmin-viciedo-launches-a-tworun-homer-to-left/?player_id=493364 http://m.mlb.com/video/v34114785/cwstor-viciedo-hammers-a-goahead-threerun-shot/?player_id=493364 Get him in camp with Donaldson and Bautista, get that leg kick going way up to his nipples, and you've got another RHH monster.
  24. Laika
    Only 26 years old, controllable through 2017, minor league deal, probably some upside. ok
  25. Laika
    Steamer600: .250/.300/.427 101 wRC+ -0.6 BsR -9.3 Fld 0.7 WAR Pillar: .265/.297/.396 91 wRC+ +0.5 BsR -2.4 Fld 1.1 WAR
