    Nobody south of the Mason-Dixon Line does the Dougie. So sayeth Blake Shelton

    Prospect development still leaves a lot to be desired

    They already have, Ellsbury and McCann were both qualified FAs. GRanderson was too but the mets first round pick was protected so the mets would lose this second round pick, and the Yankees would gain a 1st round comp pick. So far though, since the Yankees have signed 2 qualifying FAs, the would lose their first rounder and their first round comp pick, while keeping their second rounder, unless of course they sign another qualified FA, in which case they'd lose that too.

    AAV is fine, length is silly for the Mariners. I don't blame Cano at all, all it takes is one GM to feel like they need to overpay and ... This is the result
  5. John_Havok
    Yup, or if they get awarded a comp pick for one of their qualified FAs signing elsewhere they'd lose it instead of second round. At least that's my understanding.

    Oh snap! Yonge/bloor challenge coming up!

    Good read from Rosenthal on this whole Cano thing.

    Oh good, now we've turned this thread into a tribute to spanky

    I don't either, but a lot more teams should be using them as tools. It might help them not get bent over by Friedman on a regular basis

    Your dumn

    I don't disagree with the valuations, and the fact that this type of thinking is actually starting to slowly slip into the MLB psyche is great. I just know there's now ay in hell that Tampa would trade Price for Polanco and be satisfied with the return because his projected surplus value is higher. They'll probably get an even better return than they did for Shields, even though that was an overpay

    I was at the game in San Fran when Freddy Sanchez broke his arm. Love that stadium
  13. John_Havok
    I get this argument, but what isn't mentioned here is that there's still a lot more uncertainty as to whether a Polanco-type prospect will actually live up to the projections, whereas there far less uncertainty about Price living up to his. That's why teams will usually get far more return than these types of valuations.

    Oh don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the guy leave New York. One ellsbury injury, Jeter pulled groin and texeira DL stint and they be running a very interesting lineup.

    No chance he gets recognition as a Yankee legend if he plays half his career for another team. You gotta remember this is a franchise where even just being above average, like pettitte's, gets you hall of fame talk, when pettitte's numbers are comparable to mark Buerhle for his career. The help, prestige and legacy of career Yankees is massive. i don't think anyone actually remembers that Pettitte pitched for the Astros for 3 years, and admitted to using PEDs
  16. John_Havok
    I don't think he cares about loyalty, I think he cares about being a Yankee legend, like Jeter. He can't be that if he signs in Seattle
  17. John_Havok
    I wonder maybe Cano is telling them he'll sign if they show they're serious about winnng, in essence telling them that if they land Price via trade... I also for got to take into consideration that Seattle's new 2 billion dollar tv deal that starts in 2014. I still think 10 years is too long, but... I guess they'll have the money to spend
  18. John_Havok
    5:15pm: Cano asked the Mariners for a ten-year, $240MM deal, but the Mariners' offer did not exceed $200MM, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal tweets. Maybe Jack Z not as fully retarded as previously reported. Still... pretty retarded, but not full retard.
  19. John_Havok
    Has Delmon Young been taken yet? DEM ARRR BEE EYEZ!
  20. John_Havok
    If Seattle lands Cano, it will be a colossal mistake. the amount of money they'd have to pay him to go there instead of the Yankees would be obscene and would practically cripple their ability to sign anyone for the next 8-9 years. Jack Z is retarded but there's no way he's that retarded. JayZ and company are just using the Seattle rumours to put pressure on the Yankees to up their offer.
  21. John_Havok
    hell... even 3 is pushing it for a guy who hits lighter than johnny mac and only plays 2b.
  22. John_Havok
    Yup, definitely not on of AA's strong suits, no doubt about it.
  23. John_Havok
    It's hard to hold back when there's actually people out there in favour of keeping JPA based on flawed arguments and nothing more than pie in the sky hopes.
  24. John_Havok
    I know that was one of the rumoured features of the new deal a few days ago, could be completely off the table by now.
  25. John_Havok
    Pretty silly isn't it? LIke if the Jays had Trout and he was going into his arb years and they wanted to extend him, but wouldn't go past 5 years.... it's ridiculous to have a hard rule of "nothing past X years." It really is. as long as it's planned out the right way and not completely horrendous value on the back end, a 6 or 7 year deal isn't a franchise crippler. For hitters alone though, anyone who would guarantee more than 5 years to a pitcher is f***ing retarded.
