    While we are off topic - is anyone watching the new TV show Mars? It's pretty awesome - wicked concept.

    2 things: 1. he can't play SS, nor could he play 2nd for an extended period, so he doesn't fully replace Barney/Goins. 2. Goins, Cola and Smoak don't have trade value sir. I doubt Zeke or Barney do either.

    Seems like a decent deal for the Braves. If the changes to his swing/approach stick, he'll be a steal and a good trade chip. His versatility would have been a big plus for the Jays, but adding another high K% guy would be hard to stomach. SIGN STEVE PEARCE NOW SHATKINS - the market is set.

    Great post. I would render a guess that MOST fans want to see them go toe to toe punching, kicking and kneeing the s*** out of one another. However, as noted, the sport is extremely technical....and that's exactly what the fans hate about it.

    I've been nominating people and posts all week - it's that time of year - award time baby!

    Didn't you guys just go through voting to appoint new mods?

    I don't think Steamer's saw Pompey play defense last year. That said - if he could post a wRC+ of 95, I suspect he'd bring a lot of value to the team simply by running the bases well. If he could straighten out his defense, he could be Ender Inciarte lite. It's just such a risk to rely on him as a starter on this team. I can't see them doing that and suspect it would take an injury for him to get a real shot.

    remind me again why that isn't plausible?
  12. Brownie19
    That may also be the reason to look at trading him...
  13. Brownie19
    That's probably a good thing given the history of massive FA signings.

    It's all about cost. If you can get Gordon for nothing and have KC eat some of the remaining money - then I'd look at that over what it would cost to acquire McCutchen. Would your rather have Gordon for 3 years $45M or a platoon bat like Reddick at 4 years $52M?. I'm just tossing around ideas. Gordon's a lefty who doesn't need a platoon partner, high BB% who could hit at the top of the lineup (if he rebounds). BTW - Puig is a very unique option. I'd certainly take a hard look at him to see what he would cost.

    If Fowler costs 5/120, I think I'd prefer Cespedes (who I expect to get 5/125). I think Fowler ends up closer to 4/90 - in which case I prefer him to EE quite a bit... To be honest - I kind of hate all the FA's. There's such a high probability that these contracts suck and the players immediately start declining. We already have the burden of Martin and Tulo. I'm not sure this is the time to pile on!

    I wonder what Alex Gordon would cost. He's coming off a horrible year and would be due $60M over 3 years (for is age 33, 34 + 35 seasons). With both his defense and base running in decline, we've likely seen the end of his 4-6 WAR seasons, but he still could bounce back and be a very solid player. I wonder if KC views him as a negative asset at this point. Could you get them to eat say $15M and give up next to nothing for him? To be honest - looking at Gordon's decline might be a cautionary tail against signing Dexter Fowler...
  17. Brownie19
    I tend to agree. You give up a draft pick for Fowler, but you'd get one back from letting EE go. He's a top of the order switch hitter with some pop, good base runner, good approach at the plate. He won't repeat the BsR value he posted last year - and it will drop over the next 4/5 years, but he's been a 120 wRC+ hitter for awhile now and his versatile game means his floor should be pretty high. There's a chance that if you put Fowler in RF, his defensive value spikes like it did went the White Sox put Eaton in RF. Fowler + Pillar + LF is going to be a really good defensive outfield. He's basically exactly the type of player the FO said they wanted to add when this offseason started. I call comes down to price. I'm don't love giving Fowler a 5th year or more than $20M AAV.

    Oh f*** I just threw up

    Doesn't pass the eye test for me. This does however. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lOUeUMPaI4

    Apparently my sarcasm meter only activates at the fourth layer. Glad we've got that calibrated.

    Pagan holds his own vs. LHP too...he doesn't need a platoon partner, although at his age, it might not be a bad idea. We need 2 OFers....so curious to see what Shatkin's does.
  22. Brownie19
    Man this kinda s*** is obnoxious
  23. Brownie19
    Appears he is horrid defensively
  24. Brownie19
    And....lock it up
  25. Brownie19
    Good call. He'll be missed. Unlike few in the game...the hitters knew what Cecil was throwing and they still couldn't hit it. Filthy curve.
