  1. Might as well just do community rankings and scouting reports at this point, lol. From twitter, I know there were some industry people and scouts that were laughing at the initial list and some were actually mad about it because this guy is getting money to do this. I don't know how much of that is legitimate. It's OK and sometimes actually a good thing to not follow the pack. Ranking Ryan Weber highly is fine in theory. Ranking John Gant above Newcomb might be fine in theory. But leaving guys off the list because you forgot about them is pretty bad.
  2. Yeah or you could just trade them all for minimal draft pick upgrades and then pick someone who is essentially the same. I mean you yourself got Ziegler and Familia in last year's...
  3. http://tangotiger.com/index.php/site/comments/update-to-the-fielding-spectrum-run-values
  4. woman of the year lmao
  5. Just jizz on public toilets and then search for news articles on unusually pale babies 9 months later then sue for partial custody It's a market inefficiency but for kids
  6. The Lincecum for Rios hindsight rollercoaster is a story we will tell our grandchildren
  7. Is that too much? Maybe offer him a bit less but get more years? 6/$78???
  8. Yeah, just like all the f***ing idiots who blew their load when the Marlins trade broke.
  9. He'd sign a pillow contract to prove he's healthy.
  10. A lot. Even if you're generous and think he still has 16 WARz left and you think a win is worth $10M, Seattle needs to kick in like 32 million to hypothetically move him for nothing.
  11. He'd be retarded to do this, lol. But assuming he was, one way they could sort of make it appeal to him would be to have Toronto "insure" some portion of his expected contract this offseason by giving him a long term deal with an opt out after year 1. Say the market is looking like 7/$200 for Price. Offer him 7/$120 but with a large salary in year 1 and an opt out next offseason. Then if his elbow blows up in spring training he still has a decent long term deal.
  12. Cano + $150M for Ryan Goins
  13. Yes it would be terrible Rules to live by: 1 - never tweet 2 - don't sign a FA Ace in his 30's
  14. Source: David Price's agent uses positive relationship with his most recent team as leverage in negotiations with small number of teams that actually want him and can afford him.
  15. Trade all of them to save Rogers money
  16. Screw free agents though Sign Jose Fernandez instead and sign Freeman and sign Cano
  17. 4/$60 for Tim Lincecum Then see if Blanton will sign for around $10m
  18. maybe a physical hiccup
  19. 172 days = a full year of service time So he does have almost 2
  20. It really doesn't matter much at all. Those contracts were between 4 and 6 years. You just wiggle the years, AAV, and option values to make the math work. Any extension that guaranteed him money in exchange for options on a couple of his FA years would be awesome.
  21. I think so, but that doesn't really strike me as a material difference.
  22. There are enough fairly similar comparisons to get a decent idea. Quintana and Sale. Chris Archer. Carrasco. Ventura. Most of those extensions fit the same template. 4/$22 + two $9M options 5/$23M + two $12M options 6/$25.5M + two $10M options 5/$26.5M + two $11M options 5/$32.5M + two $13M options Remarkably similar! We have a pretty good idea of what a Stroman extension should look like.
