  1. Almost no interest in Machado. Contract is gross.
  2. Agreed. Colin Kapaernick should still be playing.
  3. But I don't think Bauer will ever sue MLB. I think he wants to pitch again more than he wants money.
  4. The arbitration decision was Dec. 2022 That date is more important than the April 2022 one
  5. Falaffle is the 3B over those old farts Longo and Donaldson I think if the Jays bring in any other 3B it's either a clear upgrade through trade or a LHB potential platoon partner
  6. Not grimy enough Downgrade Pederson to like.... Eric Hosmer
  7. Not sure the basic limitation period would apply here It might be a labour grievance and subject to the CBA only Also, he can argue that his losses were only discoverable this off-season when no MLB team offered him a deal
  8. Is that limitation deadline from an article or something?
  9. The more I think about the IKF signing the more I love it. I wonder if he can hit leadoff?
  10. Well if he projected for 2 wins he wouldn't cost 2/$15. He'd be getting more than Candelario, not a third of what Candelario got. I'm not expecting 2 wins but it's within the realm of possibilities Expecting more like 1.2 wins in 2/3 of the 3B playing time.
  11. A plus 3B with decent BsR and an 85 wRC+ could literally be a 2 win player Nothing to sneeze at Go look at Maikel Garcia 2023. Or various Ryan McMahon seasons.
  12. They make these kinds of depth chart mistakes sometimes Really, the only person on the Jays roster who can play a good 3B is probably IKF. He is on top of that depth chart right now
  13. Okay bro Grrrrr arrrrr
  14. Copy image link from browser Then use this command link[ /img] If you have the image saved, upload to imgur to get a web link
  15. Interesting Looks like the Yankees got his maxEV up but not his launch angle 109.6 is still bad but not bottom of the league Better maxEV than Cody Bellinger, lmao He can hit a baseball harder than Danny Jansen. Harder than 2023 Kirk. Even with Biggio. Much better than KK, Espinal, or Whit There's 12+ homers in this useless bat!!!!!
  16. bWAR loved IKF. Some 3 WAR seasons on his BR resume... and a 5 win pace in 2020
  17. It could be... There is a cohort of mostly relief prospects in AA and up with modern pitch mixes and great numbers, they were probably influenced by the facilities and modern training environment Also, the crop of infield prospects that are MLB ready might be part of it. Schneider, Martinez, Barger, Leo Jimenez, Palmegiani...
  18. 7.5m AAV is.... almost nothing Jays are a big market team. That's reliever money. Who cares? They probably think he can be worth 1.5 wins in maybe 450 PA if used correctly.
  19. The Rangers were starting Robbie Grossman and won the world series The Dodgers traded for Kike Hernandez last year You're a homer and navel gazer if you think the Jays are "dumpster diving" Every good team in baseball signs guys like this The Braves have Forrest Wall and David Fletcher on their projected bench
  20. Isn't it already better than 2023? IKF much more versatile than Merrifield + Org depth near MLB is better
  21. Think we need someone who mashes RIGHTIES. But an 80 game 3B is all they need now. I think Turner is still a fit.
  22. He's literally just a Merrifield replacement About the same AAV Except younger. Slightly better. Better roster fit given 3B acumen. Hopefully other players keep him to 450 PA or less
  23. Feel like IKF might just be better than Espinal Espy may have been a bit exposed in 2023. Seems like he is actually not that comfortable or effective in a utility role. Defense was not reliable at all. Was replacement level and had a 80 wRC+ last year. Was useless Yeah 2023 IKF was similar but... longer track record of defensive performance
  24. I dunno. Great post.
  25. IKF won't be a starter or pure bench player. Somewhere in between probably. Same as KK.
