    Yeah. Shatkins hoard prospects like collectibles. They left Bergen unprotected because they either think he isn't that good, thought he would pass through without being selected, or both.
  2. glory
    Thornton makes the team as the #4 starter. Interested to see how he does.
  3. glory
    Yup. I like young players getting guaranteed money at years 0-6 at the expense of 1 or 2 of their free agent years. Seems like a reasonable trade off. Now as you said if they start to pay players better early in their careers, then the good players will still get extensions, and the elite players will still get insane contracts, but the younger developing talent will be better compensated for their early years. Really the only players that get screwed are the older/replacement level types, but that was going to happen regardless with smarter front offices.

    Straily actually seems like a Shatkins type of move.
  5. glory
    Shatkins puts practically no priority in the pen as they try to find cheap vets coming off down years to sign every year (good strategy) so I doubt they would demote Paulino to pitch out of the pen. Unless the Giles thing made him fall out of favor....

    Players smartening up by avoiding free agency. Now young players smartening up by giving up a year or two of their free agent years to get guaranteed money in years 1-6. I don't think there will be a strike anymore. A few months ago I would have said there is a good chance, but the players seem to have adjusted. Maybe some minor tweaks in the CBA but both sides will probably figure out a way to avoid a stoppage now.

    In 2013-14, AA had Gomes, Mathis, TDA, and Kratz, but went with JPA, Navarro, and Thole.

    Blake Snell gets 5/50 from the Rays.
  9. glory
    Man I hate pitching prospects. So glad the Jays are loaded in the other direction. Just buy old guys to start when the time is right.

    Mookie's going to get $30+ mil next year and then $300 mil as a free agent. He can afford to. Obvious risk is serious injury, but that's what betting on yourself means.
  11. glory
    Yeah seems pointless to hold on to him if he’s not going to be able to get anyone out. Nice idea but execution was always going to be a big question mark. Had to hope he could be at least bad instead of god awful but the latter is probably more likely:
  12. glory
    Vlad's late 20's might be a risk due to his size and position. He should still be an elite hitter, but a fat 1B doesn't have the same type of value. I think the Jays would want his first 7 or 8 years, but can't see Shapiro risking anything beyond that. I could see Shapiro signing Bichette, Jansen, Alford (if he turns into something), etc, but Vlad will probably Harper his way through arb to get that payday.
  13. glory
    Yup. Sign Vlad this year and Bo next year.
  14. glory
    Yeah Betts will end up making over $60m in three years of arb and then hit free agency at 28 where he will get more than $300m in all likelihood. Bregman probably did leave some money on the table but hard to turn down $100m guaranteed. Plus given the way the Astros took care of Altuve after initially having him on a team friendly deal I’m sure Bregman has a chance to have this deal extended some time in the next six years.
  15. glory
    Bregman gets $100m guaranteed and then hits the market at age 30. Probably a good move on his part. 100 mil is 100 mil.

    Yeah Morales should be DFA but they want to keep him so benching him would be the best solution. He won't have any value besides being a pinch hitter and occasional DH/1B, but at least in a back up role he would be able to provide whatever vetrin presents the team seems to think he can give while letting the younger guys get the PT. Pompey is probably s***, but I'd still prefer to roster him over Morales.
  17. glory
    They seem to want to keep Morales around for his presents, but they might as well make him a bench guy and go with Hernandez at DH while platooning McKinney and Pompey in left. At least the right players will be getting AB's. We really don't need to see Morales playing everyday.
  18. glory
    CA Jansen, Maile IF Smoak, Gurriel, Galvis, Drury, Urena/Sogard OF Grichuk, Pillar, McKinney, Hernandez, Pompey DH Morales DL Travis SP Stroman, Sanchez, Shoemaker, Borucki, Richard RP Giles, Tepera, Mayza, Biagini, Norris, Luciano, Gaviglio DL Buchholz, Phelps Of course things will get dicey when Vlad needs to come up and when injured players get healthy, but that's probably what we are looking at to begin the season.
  19. glory
    So $430m on top of the $78m he's already made (according to BBREF). Over $500m. He did pretty well at this baseball thing.
  20. glory
    Is the $430m counting the two years he has remaining or 12 years/$430m on top of what he has left? If it's $430m on top of what he is already owed, then he's going to end up with over $570m in total earnings not counting any endorsements he has or whatever his signing bonus was. That's insane.
  21. glory
    Boras waits an eternity so he can beat Stanton's contract, and then a few weeks later Trout gets $100 million more. Love it.
  22. glory
    Looks like things are going to change for the better.
  23. glory
    Sucks because he was so good his first two years and seems like a really good guy but yeah his career might be winding down. At least he made a couple million in that span.
  24. glory
    Awesome.
  25. glory
    I can't believe they haven't done that yet, especially since they need to win in the next two years while Trout is on the roster. Insanity.
