Yeah I'd be all for adding guys like that to the team to compete for the backup spot. All the big league names right (guys like Conger, Clevenger, etc.) are just slop anyway.
-
Well said on all counts. If Pompey beats Zeke out he'll win the job. Zeke isn't good enough for his lack of options to be the ultimate concern although that probably does give him the tiebreaker should it come to that with Pompey. I also agree with you on Pearce and the OF. I do not understand people who think moving Pearce to the OF and Bautista to 1B is the right move.
-
I'm all for signing Valbuena. Between injuries among Bautista, Pearce, Donaldson, Travis, etc. there will be plenty of AB's for him here. Holland is a no-brainer as well. Mediocre lefties are going for 20 mil in this market and that's ridiculous. I'd rather have the guy with the potential to be a lights-out late inning guy.
-
It was partly in jest but it does highlight a point in that a lot on this board are pushing for spending resources on guys who are projected to be marginal improvements (and in some instances worse) instead of using a cheap 24 year old who has the skills to be an okay player for us.
-
More than Pompey who is a similar or better player.
-
Well, everyone's gotta eat. My guess is this hot take will get the writer enough clicks for groceries this month.

I wish we could get Puig. Biagini plus prospects or something. We could probably fit his salary in.
-
Ah ok, so for example he could get like 16 million this year and then next year's buyout is 2 million?
-
Looks like 18 million for Bautista if you want to update BTS. EDIT: Looks like the 18 million includes whatever options/buyouts are contained within the deal so he may make less than 18 this year.
-
There are "circumstances" working against Jays prospects.
-
-
Ehh, I'd describe it as not bad. If we made a good trade for Puig or something it'd be a lot better. But as it stands, Zeke, Upton and Smoak are all staring at a significant number of AB's this upcoming season.
-
Hard to believe Jays would offer that much and hard to believe that the Pirates would turn it down.
-
-
He's probably the best OF left on the market but him and Bautista in the corner OF is garbage defensively. It's not like we couldn't use offensive players either though so if he came dirt cheap I'd still probably take him.
-
So glad this team isn't wasting 20 million on a mediocre reliever. Will be interested to see the rest of this play out. We have a lot of holes to fill. Also, I'm not upset about letting EE walk for 20+ AAV. That's still a lot of money for an old 1B/DH. But I think they deserve more blame for jumping on Morales. 3 years for his old ass is too many. Could have waited on him and gotten him for cheaper. Before everyone rush's to defend Shapiro please know that it's ok to both like what he's doing overal and have certain gripes about certain things he's done.
-
What FA's are left that we could spend $30 million on?
-
Who is on the market that's worth a damn? There isn't much in FA. Maybe there's a trade to be had.
-
This FO is way less tight-lipped than AA, perhaps we'll get some answers on what they are doing in tomorrow's interview.
-
I don't understand what they are going to do with him though? He's out of options.
-
I thought 26 man rosters died during the bargaining.
-
What are they going to do with Zeke? He's either going to be in a platoon with Upton or we are going to carry 5 OFers right? I guess someone could be traded.
