    We paid that last year Spanky. Upton is making closer to 1 million this year from what I've read.
  2. Grant77
    This is good news IF we allocate the ~70 mil and draft pick assets elsewhere. Bautista and Granderson top my list, but there are many appealing trade targets. Get one of them and a guy like Seth Smith and the offense looks great.

    That looks good when you use a 3.1 WAR projection, but fangraphs has him at 2.2 WAR. He's been in that range for 5 of the last 6 seasons, except 2016. 2017: 13M 2.2 WAR 2018: 14M 1.7 WAR 2019: 15M 1.2 WAR 2020: 17M 0.7 WAR 2021: 17M 0.2 WAR That looks a little less rosy.

    Our best option for getting depth in the rotation is probably just to spend on an injury prone/rehab guy like Alvarez, Ross, Parker, Wilson, or Anderson. We could also grab someone like Norris, Lincecum, or Niese to compete for a spot in ST and pitch out of the 'pen. There are still a lot of options out there, those just came to mind first.

    Smoak and McGee would get me talking, but I'd much rather deal prospects.
  6. Grant77
    It's only money. He should still be good when they are competitive.
  7. Grant77
    Perhaps not involving Stroman, but a trade with Colorado is a distinct possibility after the Desmond signing.
  8. Grant77
    It seemed like he struck out in every at-bat, but he did actually hit the ball a few times last year.

    Fans always think that every other manager will be better until they have them. Gibby does a good job and if people trust Shapiro with on the field moves then they should trust the personnel moves.
  11. Grant77
    Well they payed 62 mil for that great prospect, so it's one or the other.
  12. Grant77
    Moncada's strikeouts are troubling considering the value that they placed on him. Prospects with extremely high K rates have a pretty high bust potential. I don't agree with the common sentiment that he's a sure bet to succeed in the majors. Kopech is getting a lot of hype from the AFL stint, but it wasn't long ago that most evaluators saw him as a reliever. His poor secondary offerings still make that the strongest possibility.
  13. Grant77
    Most or all ndependent rankings confirm what I have said.
  14. Grant77
    The White Sox are incredibly stupid if that is true. That offer is substantially better.
  15. Grant77
    He doesn't give a f*** I've been told.
  16. Grant77
    So Boston is paying all of Moncada's salary. That pretty much means they are paying Sale 23 million per year + the prospects.
  17. Grant77
    I have nothing against Chris Sale. Last time Boston got this much hype, they came in last place, so we'll see what happens.
  18. Grant77
    Looking forward to seeing Sandoval everyday at 3B.
  19. Grant77
    The floor is still a high leverage reliever because he has the best stuff in the organization. He's also got a clean, repeatable delivery that usually leads to good control. That makes me rank him higher, though I understand that the walk rate doesn't look pretty on the stat sheet.
  20. Grant77
    Read the scouting report. It's perfectly justified.
  21. Grant77
    I greatly prefer Curtis Granderson. They are similarly talented, but he's on a short term deal.
  22. Grant77
    Having Pearce on board makes him more appealing, but he's certainly not my top option.
  23. Grant77
    I'd call it a success if we get that for ~8 million. The money saved might open up better opportunities in RF and the bullpen.
  24. Grant77
    I can't see the Mariners taking Smoak for Seth Smith after getting Vogelbach. I think Smith has value on his own at 7 million.
  25. Grant77
    The Mariners are open to trading Seth Smith. He's not the sexiest option, but projects for 1.2 WAR on a 7 million dollar salary. I don't mind him on the strong side of a platoon with Upton if we get a stronger option like Granderson in RF.
