    The difference between J-Ram and a comeback version of Biggio is pretty significant. Ramires is a 6-8 WAR player. A Biggio comeback year would have him between 2 and 3.

    You forgot Hatch, Thornton and Kay. All will be in the mix for sure though I don't know what their option status is

    TODAY: Bauer’s administrative leave has been extended another month, through April 16 (Jorge Castillo of The Los Angeles Times was among those to report the news.) The timing ensures that Bauer will miss at least the first week of the regular season.

    McGuire is still here.
  5. John_Havok
    He probably needs less than 2 weeks to get his timing. That's really all hitters need.

    Tampa isnt dumb with their money though, they probably felt like adding 25 million for Freeman, while having Franco around at a reasonable rate would be the next step to the title. They're already a playoff team, and adding the final pieces to get those playoff Ws doesn't come cheap.
  7. John_Havok
    Yeah, that might be what the report was alluding too when they said he had an offer that would have given him more money, but turned it down to go to SoCal.
  8. John_Havok
    I give the edge to Colorado, because they have money and they're still incredibly dumb with what they do with it. That's no tto say Cinci hasn't made some dumb money moves, but their ability to be dumb is restricted by lack of money. If Cincinatti had Colorado money, it would be a tie.

    The Rays apparently had a decent offer in to Freeman also, 6/150 accoridng to the talking heads on MLB network.
  10. John_Havok
    That's kinda the perfect way to describe that team. it would not have shocked me in the least to have heard of Donaldson having hit someone with a folding chair.

    I don't think anyone here is ripping them for being *******s. most of us here could give a flying f*** as long as they can play baseball well. I think it's just moreso giving credit to Gibbons for managing the massive egos in that room and what it must have taken on a daily basis to ensure they all co-existed without killing each other

    Colorado's owner just cant stop from punching himself in the dick. It's comedic how bad he is at his job. But, at least he's willing to spend money.

    Stroman and Manoah are like the old cartoon with the tiny dog that bounces around the giant bulldog doing nothing but yapping until the bulldog punches him in the face.
  14. John_Havok
    After all that you have Bichette batting 3rd?
  15. John_Havok
    Weird fact. If we assume all projected salaries for arbitration players for Cincinatti are accurate, the 6th highest salary with be paid to Ken Griffey Jr.
  16. John_Havok
    For sure. He's the kind of arm that could come right in and be amazing though. Or, could be a nothing burger that gets released in 2 weeks.
  17. John_Havok
    Lets remember we also have Phelps coming back, he could win a job and be quite good.
  18. John_Havok
    Not only throw at a guy, but then stand there and practically encourage them to come out. I want Manoah on my team all day, every day.

    Cleveland is in a tough spot with Ramirez. he's obviously a great player and is fully entrenched as the face of their franchise, excellent contract for 2 more seasons. He's not really replaceable. That said, the longer they wait to move him, the lower the price tag gets. There's no doubt that from here to the end of 2024, right now is his max value. And, for a team that will never be up against the luxury tax, it behooves them to get the max they can if they aren't truly looking at contention.
  20. John_Havok
    Its not the money for me, its the getting nothing for the money. I would gladly pay a 4th OF 10 million dollars (on a team like this mind you that's already a legit contender) if he was still putting up positive value and good defense.
  21. John_Havok
    Sale's already headed to the DL with a rib fracture. Too bad.
  22. John_Havok
    But the fact that it's close, really shows how bad we all feel about Randall.
  23. John_Havok
    No. Dyson is well past his usefullness. Below replacement level without a doubt
  24. John_Havok
    True, but Price was only there for 74 innings. Stroman only pitched 20-some innings. The 4th starter was actually Hutchison who was brutal. It was Estrada, Dickey, and Buehrle as the top 3, then Hutch the tire fire in the 4 and a rotating tire fire of Doubront, Redmond, Daniel Norris, Matt Boyd and Scott Copeland until the Price trade. Stroman was a September callup, threw very well in his 4 starts. Overall, the 2022 rotation from day 1 would definitely be superior to start with.

    Palacios is left handed, good at Defense, but ... who the hell knows with the bat. No track record in the bigs and doesnt project well with the bat, so right now he's probably on the Buffalo shuttle. Brett Gardner is available, and would be cheap. Still projecting at 1 WAR over 400 PAs. Still a good baserunner, not terrible on D but probably trending down. Vetrin presents.
