Seems reasonable to me. Hoffman could get there sooner (September 2016, making team in 2017) but it's much more likely that he'll hit some injury/developmental bumps which delay his ascent.
It's up in the righthand corner, but there's just one bucket for the whole league. No specific matchup smack talk, which basically removes the whole point.
At least we have this place.
In case any of you don't play fantasy hockey and you haven't noticed yet, Yahoo basically killed smack talk this winter. It was the one redeeming feature of their stupid black UI overhaul from a year ago.
Unless his skill really declines this year, they'll need his 200 innings so the $11M will be a no-brainer. Buehrle will be gone.
But it's not even only about next year. It would be nice to have a depth catcher in the system this season who can catch Dickey and play solid D in all other aspects.
I don't really know. I have a feeling that we'll never see Jimenez in a Blue Jays uniform for an extended period of time so I wouldn't really worry about it.
I think experience catching a lame knuckler would be better than no experience at all with the pitch. Some guys can throw the pitch with good action, but they just can't hit the zone enough to be an effective professional knuckleballer.
They should probably get Jimenez some reps with Dickey too. Or at least sign some hungry, old, free agent knuckleballer to chuck to him down in Buffalo for a few months.
How hard does Bo Schultz throw? No gun on the TV feed but it looked like he had some serious gas.
His minor league K rates are probably misleading since he was working as a starter.
