    Agreed. A number 1 with 3 or 4 years of cost control will command a big price that will include major league experienced young players. Sonny Gray is not going to be had for a package of Moncado and Benitendi.

    I think you disagree just to disagree. I think every team would be willing to part with prospects for Sonny Gray. It is just a matter of whether they have the chips to make the deal and if they have the chips, the question is how many they would be willing to deal.

    He may become unemployed.
  4. a700hitter
    i think it makes sense. It solves the Hanley problem as he could be plugged into third base.
  5. a700hitter
    About the same time that Bogaerts would become a free agent. No player is cost controlled forever. The idea is to get a guy with 3-4 years of cost control. Any GM would prefer that to a high priced free agent.
  6. a700hitter
    That is so stupid that it is funny, but then again you are very funny.
  7. a700hitter
    Cost controlled young aces like Sonny Gray are few and they will cost young cost controlled stars in return and/or a package of true can't miss blue chippers.

    it was a satirical comment on the absurdity of the economics of the game, but of you want to be personally insulting, maybe you are not smart enough to realize that.
  9. a700hitter
    Then he would not be a cost controlled ace if he needs to be extended right away.
  10. a700hitter
    Why resort to logic when we have Fangraphs?
  11. a700hitter
    Cafardo was filling space. As for your assertion that there are owners who would rather pay big free agent money for an ace instead of getting a cost controlled ace for prospects, I would consider those owners to be morons.
  12. a700hitter
    of course these figures do not take into account the difficulty of finding another part time #1 or 2 to slot into the rotation when Buchholz goes down. It doesn't happen.
  13. a700hitter
    is there an owner that prefers big ticket free agents to cost controlled aces? Duh. It doesn't mean that you can get them. Cafardo states it like it is from DDs strategy board. He doesn't have a clue what DD will do any more than we do at this point.
  14. a700hitter
    Typical of Cafardo. It's just his opinion.
  15. a700hitter
    $13 million for a half season of excellent to mediocre or a full season of sucks ass -- either way he's a bargain.
  16. a700hitter
    He's a box of chocolates that is finished by the end of June every year.
  17. a700hitter
    If it wasn't sourced and it wasn't a prediction, on what was he basing his statement?
  18. a700hitter
    A number 1 pitcher will cost Betts or Bogaerts unless the pitcher is in his walk year.
  19. a700hitter
    Do you remember who wrote that? Was it a sourced statement or just a prediction?
  20. a700hitter
    The numbers say that he is the worst so he must be the worst.
  21. a700hitter
    You are just too cynical and critical.
  22. a700hitter
    Yes, he isn't.
  23. a700hitter
    The Nats have hired Dusty Baker as there manager for two years. Baseball loves to recycle managers.
  24. a700hitter
    Bringing in a reliever against the Royals with inherited runners is like sending the reliever to his death if he doesn't have a good defensive team. They put the bat on the ball and the exposed the Mets infield defense. Collins set Familia up to fail twice. He didn't pitch poorly in the last two games. In fact, he was excellent in game 5. Game 4 he gave up a couple of hits, but his defense let the tying run score. If Collins had gone to Familia for the 6 out save like Yost went to Davis in that game, there would be baseball tonight. But I can't be certain of that either. The Royals proved to be an impossible team to put away.
  25. a700hitter
    I don't think he would have taken a lot of heat over it if he had been thrown out. If they had lost they would have gone back to KC up 3 games to 2. They were playing with house money.
