  1. Oh for sure, I know that. I just thought the gap between LF and CF would be bigger but apparently it's not.
  2. So would the same hold true for a "defensive-first" player like Pillar? If you moved him to RF would his defense be so much better than a replacement player in RF that it would make up for his replacement level like bat, thus his WAR wouldn't be affected? And if that holds true, and Fowler insisting on playing CF is true, then wouldn't it make some sense, at least statistically, to just sign him on the promise that he could play CF and Pillar could play RF? lol
  3. How big of a dropoff is his bat from CF to LF? He's probably shitloads better with the bat than your average CF. In LF the gap isn't as big.
  4. Do you, or anyone else, know anything about how changing the position of a player from CF to RF affects their WAR? Their bat is less valuable in a corner OF spot, no? But their defense probably gets better. Is it generally a net 0, for example?
  5. He's trolling. Quite effectively.
  6. I read a good article on fangraphs regarding his defense. If you think it's average or good you have a good chance to get surplus value and lots of it on 4 years, 70 mil. If his defense is below average, you can probably break about even on that 70 mil. Not sure that the article factored in the pick though.
  7. Yeah that's one way. They can just assign it a dollar value though. 1st rounders used to be worth around $5 million, or so I once read. The number is higher now, let's call it 7 or 8. Just factor in an additional 7 or 8 million in added cost to signing him. The pick is nice but it isn't untouchable.
  8. The pick isn't exactly gold. Just factor it in to the offered contract.
  9. Good to hear that we are in on a quality player. Steamer doesn't seem to like his bat or fielding though but he'd look great in RF and the leadoff spot for us.
  10. Ray I know you're new but this is a strong start. lol
  11. I'm not convinced that Upton is worthy of even platooning so that said having Revere as his platoon partner would make me nervous. That platoon has the potential of two duds putting up almost no production. That said, if signing Revere for scraps facilitates a move for bigger FA's then I could be convinced.
  12. Why does it have to be a righty? We need at least one or two lefties, righty? Just get some decent arms in here period. Blevins appears to fit that bill. I don't understand what you're upset about.
  13. We need capable pen arms period. No matter what role they end up in.
  14. He seems pretty good to me. His skillset seemed to have changed in 2014 as he saw his K-Rate increase significantly.
  15. I'd like to petition the mods to implement an automatic 24 hour ban for all users who discuss their franchise mode video games. It ranks among people talking about their fantasy teams, golf outings or poker games for the least interesting conversation possible.
  16. Yeah I agree his contract actually isn't that bad. It's probably close to fair market value for him.
  17. He's fine if you assume that more established big name players will be signed as well.
  18. I'd be open to signing Morneau to compete with Colabello for the Buffalo 1B job but that's where my interest ends.
  19. I read that he did make a change. Kind of the Dozier swing for the home run approach.
  20. He's very very good IMO. What don't you like about him?
  21. I'd consider a 2 or 3 year deal for Gomez depending on the AAV. 31, 32 and 33 year old seasons - he should be able to hang on to decent baserunning and defense.
  22. Pompey is a total wild card right now. He could be a 2 WAR player or he could be replacement level. We don't really know and it's not really worth the gamble IMO. He can be the 5th OF in AAA, we need depth anyway.
