I guess they thought his arb number was too high?
-
I think its any team i'd do it with its the yankees. I think Schittler, Rice, Jones, Lombard gives you a possible number 2 starter, a guy in Rice who has star potential as a power hitter at first, lombard up the middle, and then a dice roll on massive power in Jones. I'd want more than that for 4 years of Skenes, but its a start. Edit: you could also go sasaki, rushing, sheehan as a base. The only problem is the dodgers have tons of young pitching but so do the pirates.
-
Yea possibly but i'm taking my chances. It needs to be pre arb guys with a ton of potential and top prospects at least.
-
I think i wouldn't do it then. You are essentially going to get the same good offers until trade deadline going into his last year. I'd need to be blown away 3/4 years out. I do think there is added value though beyond surplus value if you expect to be in the playoffs. For the yankees and dodgers, who want to be there literally every year especially.

Keeping Tieddemann out of AFL could have been he wasn't ready but also, could be that they want him to get past rule 5.
-
Brock's scouting report does sound like a good reliever though. 60 fastball, 70 slider. I'd roster tieddemann and brock and take a chance on arias.
-
Fangraphs has its 40 man roster crunch article up. They don't seem to think we will have much trouble. "Toronto has several injured pitchers (Ricky Tiedemann, Connor Cooke, T.J. Brock) whose timelines for return might line up in such a way that it’s convenient for another club to use a Rule 5 pick on them. Outfielder Victor Arias might be the lone Jays position player who is added."
-
It seems like they found a way to add power and bat speed to contact. It does show that sometimes you should show faith. I think the red sox fire him last year.
-
I still believe what i always thought. This FO is really good at identifying certain types of hitters. They are great at having high floorish hitters as well and just filling a roster. Their free agent and trade approach for starters is really smart as they seem to really value guys who pitch a lot of innings over pure stuff, which is a good zag against the meta of baseball over the last ten years. On the other hand for most of the ten years they have been one of the 'dumb' pitching development teams. I don't think you can be a perennial contender and not be better at pitching dev. There are signs that that has changed but i don't think it was wrong to believe that that was probably a fatal flaw. The most recent draft is also really promising.
-
It is kind of weird just how much came out of the calendar year 2016. That was probably our peak position player acquisition year. Bo, kirk, moreno, and i think gurriel. I might be missing someone. I think we might look back and see that they started to turn things around in a lot if things 2/3 years ago.
-
If you were the pirates, would you do the Paul Skenes for everything pre arb trade? Or would other teams do it? So, you go into winter meetings, and say the best pitcher in baseball is available, and he is under control for 4 years. If you want to make an offer; give us the list of everyone pre arb that you are unwilling to put in a trade. Then we select anything and everything beyond that. So, like it could be skenes for 4 pre arb guys and 16 prospects total. Who says no? So, hypothetically yankees would be schittler, rice, lombard, jones, warren, dominquez and then like 14 other prospects plus anyone they like in the dsl.
-
He needs to steal more to be a really useful pinch runner.
-
Yea but even if you assume he projects really well, that's a type a contender wants. And what contender wants to trade a top end starter ever. These type of deals don't happen usually.
-
Is Clase considered a real CF? It was my understanding he's a real work in progress there. He seems like someonne who needs to be on a bad team so he can make mistakes and learn. I'd make Straw's offseason goal to convert speed into steals.
-
I can't really think of how this would work. Like who has a front of a rotation pitcher who would need a CF that badly?
-
Yea i honestly think there's a decent chance that he opts out when he has the chance as well .
-
cool video on all the free agent pitchers excluding imai who he covered elsewhere. He's low on ranger saurez. I'd ignore the team predictions because who knows but the rest is really good.
-
I really don't think the santander contract is that bad.
-
I think there are some signs pitching is improving. And there last two drafts seem promising both sides.
-
So.... don't post on a team board. Just watch the games.
-
Someone needs to be able to jump on top of the phone like a grenade and stop him from signing 'good vets' at the trade deadline. The world series was so close i still think that if schneider just gets every single ikf at bat, we might have won.
-
If we are going for the bottom of the rotation rather than the top, i'd prefer someone like Ponce who has high velo, and worst case could be a reliever.
-
They should try clement there in spring training.
-
I can't see us or stl doing that.
-
I don't know how his defense will age. But i guess it depends on how long the extension is.
