    Both Chapman and Jansen could get 4/70. Cecil will look like a bargain in comparison.
  2. Bobthe4th
    You maybe read these posts which provoked a debate on whether Cecil was worth 3/20 or not:
  3. Bobthe4th
    Overall only 3 or 4 that we should be interested in for the outfield!
  4. Bobthe4th
    And available in trades - Bruce, McCutchen, Gardner, Braun, Kemp, Jay etc.
  5. Bobthe4th
    I think he'll be offered at least 3/60 (if he hasn't already). But he could easily reject that thinking he'll get more, and then have to settle for less. Ideal situation - he resigns on a 1 year deal for less than the QO ala Ian Desmond last year.
  6. Bobthe4th
    He signed in 2014. If he was a free agent he'd be looking at Chapman / Jansen money. In 2018 we might look at Cecil's new contract as a bargain when elite relievers are earning $20m a year!
  7. Bobthe4th
    Depends on what he can get. Considering we already have a DH, and even playing 1B you'd want to rest Bautista from the field every now and then, anything more than 3 years and/or approaching $20m AAV isn't worth it IMO.
  8. Bobthe4th
    Any potential rule 5 picks out there that can do a lefty version of Biagini for us?
  9. Bobthe4th
    Girodo likely makes the roster if we don't sign anyone..... I really hope we sign someone.
  10. Bobthe4th
    So you were wrong then. It's been reported we offered 4/80 to EE.
  11. Bobthe4th
    It's a big commitment to any reliever. If he doesn't blow his arm out though he is prob worth it.
  12. Bobthe4th
    I'd still only do that if he accepts he's no longer an outfielder. Which tbf he might. Expecting someone to give him more though, either in years or money.
  13. Bobthe4th
    Sorry to see him go, interested to see the final contract figures.
  14. Bobthe4th
    Would you give him 3/60? If not what's your limit?
  15. Bobthe4th
    Though I agree that I can't see us making a trade for McCutchen, Upton can play CF as can Pompey, if we lost Pillar and didn't directly replace him. For the money Bautista wants, I wouldn't want him back.
  16. Bobthe4th
    I think the front office probably agrees with you. They don't seem to want to take too many risks, which is sensible. I'd expect Pittsburgh to mainly want prospects so I don't see us as a good trade partner anyway. They'd prob prefer Pompey to Pillar but with more high end prospects.
  17. Bobthe4th
    Yeah we'd need to give up a lot and there's no guarantee he's still elite. I think he'd be significantly better than Saunders or Bautista though, he's only just turned 30.
  18. Bobthe4th
    Well Pillar's WAR is mainly from his elite defence. With losing EE and Jose you can argue offense is needed more than defense right now. Cutch's value as a batter would be much higher IF he reverts back to his form from prior to the season just gone. FWIW I'm expecting both to be better than last season at the plate. Pillar had an injury for much of the season and Cutch has consistently been one of the best players in baseball.
  19. Bobthe4th
    Would anyone be happy with Adam Lind as a 1B platoon?
  20. Bobthe4th
    TBF Fernandez got the comeback award.
  21. Bobthe4th
    Haha, it's obvious we're referring to the chance of the Jays trading for him, but I hope Grant is right and it doesn't happen.
  22. Bobthe4th
    If we manage to avoid Jay Bruce (signing him seems depressingly inevitable at the moment) then this is the kind of trade we could pull off without losing significant assets. If Pompey, salary relief and junk is enough I say go for it. If the Brewers are looking for more, I'm not so keen.

    https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WuScRJtSdnclsf-DZRSb4TKQRF3Ve9JT0hCluH2gWYA The board hive mind correctly predicted 9 out of 14 awards - pretty good! Thanos also correctly predicted 9 winners which was more than anyone else (everyone got at least 6 correct).

    Final results: AL MVP: Mike Trout Cy Young: Rick Porcello ROY: Michael Fulmer Manager: Terry Francona Comeback: Mark Trumbo Hank Aaron: David Ortiz Reliever: Zach Britton NL MVP: Kris Bryant Cy Young: Max Scherzer ROY: Corey Seager Manager: Dave Roberts Comeback: Jose Fernandez Hank Aaron: Kris Bryant Reliever: Kenley Jansen

    In fact I think this is a news item from 2013 - http://www.cbc.ca/sports/baseball/mlb/blue-jays-ink-tomo-ohka-jared-goedert-to-minor-league-deals-1.2466718
