Well I'm not betting $50 to wait 3 years from now lol. Why are we prorating to 600 PA when he hasn't accomplished that once in his career? I'll bet you $50 that he will be under 3 fWAR next year.
Yeah I remember reading that. But even looking at DRS Goins grades much better this year.
Inside Edge looks to give Goins a higher grade on the routine/likely plays while Hech is better making the even/unlikely plays. They're probably pretty close but I wouldn't say definitely one is better than the other.
I don't think there is enough evidence to say Hech is a better infielder than Goins defensively. UZR and DRS like Goins much more over the last 3 years.
In his career up to that point it was -2.2. Still not a good hitter so I don't think teams are going to be fooled by his defensive metrics being extremely high in one season. Still has value but now that he is in arb. I don't think its all that high.
Forgot about him. I don't think he's that valuable though. Below average hitter who by the numbers has had 1 great defensive season in 3 years. Seems pretty similar to Goins with a little better bat.
They probably think Carrasco is at his peak value. There are real injury concerns with him and if they don't think they will win the division this year maybe they try to be better in 2017. Brantley is out 5-6 months IIRC so maybe they factor that into their decision making.
I'd say the Mets are the better comparison with the pitching staff. Blue Jays really didn't have any star position players besides d'Arnaud. There was Lawrie and Marisnick but they never developed (at least not yet).
Do people actually trust the legal system to determine if someone is actual guilty or not? Look no further than the recent Greg Hardy story... Don't know the numbers but isn't it like 80% of domestic abuse/sexual assault go unreported and only like 10%? get convicted if an arresst is even made?
Why would Reyes's wife lie about him choking her into a glass door? In the end it would be her family who loses as Reyes will be suspended without pay.
Say Pillar is roughly a 3 WAR player for the next 5 years in which he gets paid something like 6-10-14 in arbitration. ( Numbers probably will be off but for argument's sake using round numbers)
So you are getting around 15 Wins for 30 Million. At 8 million/WAR that is a $110 Million asset. Even if the numbers are off a little who is giving up a $100 million asset for Pillar? Thats why I can't see him getting traded IMO and because he fills a hole on the team.
