I was using “higher” somewhat loosely. Above replacement level. Signing Abreu early allows us to be patient with the rest of the market. I’m...
Would you say that if we pass on Contreras, it’s almost a certainty we sign a higher end outfielder?
If the only hit Maldy got next season was a HBP in game 6 of the World Series, I’m happy lol
Yep. Didn’t understand all the hate we got for that contract. It was about as good as you could have expected. Ohtani’s contract in a year is...
I wasn’t suggesting that all of those guys would be on the roster. For example, if you sign Benintendi, I assume Brantley is out. I also don’t...
I think I’m in the Benintendi/Brantley camp for a LF platoon with Yordan. Neither cost you a pick, and I assume their AAV values are similar, with...
Didn’t realize Nimmo had a QO. I think I lean towards Benintendi for that reason. That also leaves CF open for McCormick and Leon. So my ideal...
$41 million to spend. Here’s what I would do: 2 years $10 million ($5 AAV) for Omar Narváez 2 years $28 million ($14 AAV) for Johnny Cueto or...
Even without Verlander, there just isn’t a need for more pitching. Fine with it as a “want”, but $43/year goes beyond “want”. The lineup needed...
Good for him. Will always consider him an Astro, and I’m just glad he’s in the NL and not on the Dodgers. Now we’ve definitely got some play...
Maybe, but I’d expect those guys to ask for a lot more and a guaranteed spot in the rotation.
We have 6 starting pitchers. Would it be nice to have 7 to account for injuries? Sure, but do you pay a fortune for that? We shouldn’t have...
Then go get a replacement level player on a 2 year deal. Someone like Vazquez. Then if someone emerges, you let Madly walk after next season and...
The same could be said of catcher. You have Lee, Diaz, Berryhill and Correa all fighting for 1 spot, and all will likely need a shot within a year...
Don’t get me wrong…I like him as a catcher. Less excited as a DH/LF at $20-$25 million per. Bottom line, we’re 6 deep right now (7 if you count...
That’s where I am. You can always make a deal for a Vazquez type player at the deadline if nobody steps up. Sign a good bat in the the outfield...
Id be a fan of that move. Doesn’t block Leon, but gives you a quality CF for next year.
might be too attached, but I’m not ready to block Pedro Leon. He’s an offseason away from being your longterm CF with star-type upside.
Excluding Jabari, Auburn shot 28.9% from 3. That tells you all you need to know.
Similar to Green, it just depends on how much he gets of the shot allocation.
