Probably because he hasn't played 3B since 2007.

Well since he's not a free agent that seems like a pretty good bet for you. lol

Dammit Krylian lol

Welcome! It works both ways though. What if he gave Joey Bats a huge extension last spring...that wouldn't be looking so hot right now.

I believe it.

He's played like 10 games in LF and was so horrible the Rangers pulled the plug on that idea. I don't know how you can say he's a decent LF.

For some weird reason this is how I read this. I need to sleep more.

His BB% was up, but also his K% was a career high at 30%. Also had a career year BABIP. I'm skeptical, he's probably still a 90ish wRC+ guy with below average D.

Pass.

Pagan would be ok on a cheap 1 year deal. Other than 2015 when he was hurt, he's always been solid.

Seems fair. MLBTR thought 3/36 for Reddick.

Yeah that's fair.

So worst list goes to.....BBBB? (love you buddy!) He had Harris #1 and Vlad Jr #7 (Behind McGuire who was #5)

Remember that time King wrote a huge essay about why BTS was his idol, or something along those lines. Good times.

One year and 2 million for Adam Lind I would do.

Well done King. That was fun...let's do it again next week.

Inbox is full L54

Woops. I forgot I was suppose to do comments. Great job btw, King.

I think we can wrap this up once Hurl sends his list in. I'm curious to see the results.

Looking to package Rays top prospect SS Willy Adames + Matz for an ace. I have Swanson at SS, and i'm quite high on him so i can move Adames. Here's the most recent write up on Adames via BA. Born: Sept. 2, 1995. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-1. Wt.: 180. Signed: Dominican Republic, 2012. Signed by: Aldo Perez/Ramon Perez/Miguel Garcia (Tigers). SCOUTING GRADES Batting: 60. Power: 55. Speed: 50. Defense: 55. Arm: 55. Based on 20-80 scouting scale—where 50 represents major league average—and future projection rather than present tools. Background: The Rays’ 2014 trade of David Price signaled a transition from one era to another, as the organization soon saw a change of management and leadership in the baseball operations department. Adames, the lone prospect acquired in the Price trade, has since established himself as the Rays’ top prospect, and he’s put himself in the discussion among the best position prospects in baseball. Signed as an international free agent by the Tigers for $420,000 in 2012, Adames advanced through the low minors rapidly. The Tigers skipped him past their domestic Rookie-level affiliates and assigned him to low Class A West Michigan for his U.S. debut as an 18-year-old in 2014. After heading to the Rays as the centerpiece of the Price trade, Adames hit the ground running, and he’s made steady progress and adjustments as he’s climbed the minor league ladder. He reached Double-A Montgomery in 2016 and led the Southern League with 74 walks and ranked third with 31 doubles. He led all SL shortstops with 11 home runs. Scouting Report: In 2014, Adames showed power to his pull side and the ability to drive the ball to the wall in center field. His power has steadily developed as he’s matured physically, and in 2016 he showed the ability to drive the ball out to the opposite field in game situations. Offensively, Adames earns plus grades for his hit tool and raw power, though scouts see his power playing more in the way of hard line drives, with annual home run total projections ranging from 15-25. He has above-average bat speed and the loose wrists to control the barrel, make late adjustments and square up pitches with late movement. He shows both the ability to stay inside the ball and to turn on inside pitches. He works deep counts and isn’t afraid of hitting with two strikes. Adames’ timing at the plate has improved from year to year, and his strikeout rate declined to 21 percent in 2016, down from 27 percent in 2015. Defensively, he continued to endear himself to scouts in 2016. Adames has plus hands and a well-timed internal clock, and he doesn’t rush plays or play nervously in the field. He lacks exceptional range and explosive foot speed, and he’s more of an average runner on the basepaths, but his pure arm strength typically plays above-average. He has an ability to get his feet set and make accurate throws consistently, though he can flash plus arm strength when needed. In addition to his well-rounded assortment of tools, Adames has exceptional makeup, both in terms of his work ethic and character. He quickly achieved fluency in English and connects well with American players as well as other Latin Americans. Rays officials laud his leadership ability and enthusiasm for game-day preparation. The Future: Overall, Adames has the total package that teams look for in top prospects, with impact tools on both sides of the ball and the personality to become a marketable franchise player. In 2017, Adames figures to spend the season at Triple-A Durham. He projects as the Rays’ shortstop of the future,with the ability to hit somewhere in the middle of the lineup.

Yes sir. The legend himself.

The real question is do we see David Jacobs on any top 15 lists?

As Bronwie said, who gives a f*** what he did 10 years ago. Justin Morneau: 2014: 550 PA 122 wRC+ 2.6 fWAR 2015: 182 PA 107 wRC+ 0.5 fWAR 2016: 218 PA 92 wRC+ 0.0 fWAR Steamers: 344 PA 95 wRC+ 0.3 fWAR Justin smoak: 2014 278 PA 78 wRC+ 0.7- fWAR 2015 328 PA 106 wRC+ 0.6 fWAR 2016 341 PA 90 wRC+ 0.1- fWAR Steamers: 540 PA 92 wRC+ 0.02 fWAR So in conclusion both are big hot piles of s***. If justin wants to sign a MILB deal to come here and compete with Smoak, sure why not? Not giving him any guaranteed contract though.

You know it's a top 15, right?

I put Bo Bitches #4 on my list. I really like him, probably too high...but whatever.
