    Jarren Duran will not get to 30 fWAR in his career. He'll never have a season like Ellsbury did in 2013.
  2. mvp 78
    None of them, that's why it's a best case scenario. Casas probably has the best chance to reach the projected ceiling. Of the 10, Jimenez has the worst chance.
  3. mvp 78
    I think it was a move pushed by Werner's stupid Cosby Show brain to help sell Panda hats and get "stars" for his newest tv show.
  4. mvp 78
    Yes, I didn't just want to go through and do a what if. Abreu was a need. There were no 1b's ready in the pipeline and Napoli was going to be out sooner than later. Max was the clear cut best FA SP in those years and didn't come with some of the Price questions. Zobrist would have been a great, cheap plug and play guy. Deals like Panda and Hanley just rarely work out. Panda wasn't a consistent producer and his weight forced him out of SF. Hanley was just not consistently healthy and he turned into a pumpkin at age 30. He was set to be a mega star at age 25, but it didn't turn out that way.

    I don't think Baez is going to cost nearly as much as Semien. Theoretically, I think they could sign Baez and Schwarber and still have enough for Xander and Devers going forward. You would just be unable to get FA acquisitions at any other offensive position.
  6. mvp 78
    It should have been Abreu in 2013, Max in 2014, Zobrist in 2015. Those 3 moves would have prevented some disasters later on.
  7. mvp 78
    It was a very bad offseason to want to spend. The only contracts that were worth it in the long run were Max, Lester and Nelson Cruz.
  8. mvp 78
    The more money you tack on, the less you get in return.
  9. mvp 78
    There were more, but it's debatable if any of them were better than Max. Price Greinke Cueto Zimmermann Samarzija Leake Kazmir Happ Lackey The real bargain was Rich Hill at 1/6. Sox should have just said "we'll give you a rotation spot."
  10. mvp 78
    He just wants the pain killers to hit over Halloween weekend. Makes sense to me.
  11. mvp 78
    Yankees seem to like injury prone guys, so I guess it makes sense. If I was GM, I'd go for Correa.
  12. mvp 78
    Yes, he'd lose "a few" million, but unless the arbitration dollars go through the roof, it'd be close enough.
  13. mvp 78
    Let me try: 1. Casas - Votto 2. Mayer - Cal Ripken Jr 3. Yorke - Jeff Kent 4. Duran - Ellsbury 5. Downs - Didi 6. Bello - Luis Castillo 7. Jimenez - Starling Marte 8. Seabold - Porcello 9. Blaze - Justin Turner 10. Groome - Sidney Ponson
  14. mvp 78
    Maybe. He would be up for arbitration in years 4, 5 and 6. He'd make 8/15/20 in those years? He could make a few million more if he goes through arbitration, but this would be a guaranteed amount of money that would set him up for life even if he has a career ending injury.
  15. mvp 78
    His ceiling was Justin Morneau. He just never got there. Those comps weren't trying to forecast what the player would be, but what the player COULD be if everything broke right.
  16. mvp 78
    6/17.5M... I think Wander wouldn't go for that.
  17. mvp 78
    Think they've offered anything to Wander yet?
  18. mvp 78
    The move seems obvious in retrospect, but at the time, the narrative was elsewhere.
  19. mvp 78
    Maybe?
  20. mvp 78
    Maybe in 7 years we can find one retrospectively.
  21. mvp 78
    And if anyone is really a masochist and wants to read about what we were posting that offseason you'll be treated to multiple pages of people wanting to trade Betts, Bogaerts, ERod and anything else not nailed down for Stanton, Strasburg or a whole host of other deals that would have been horrid in retrospect. Was there a lively discussion about Max Scherzer? Of course not! We ONLY wanted Lester back and barely mentioned any other picture except for cheaper guys like James Shields. There's also a lot of really lame fights thrown in for good measure.
  22. mvp 78
    Hot take.
  23. mvp 78
    Eovaldi's "they aren't high on my list" comment is blander than my sister's mashed potatoes. I don't know how anyone could be offended by that.
  24. mvp 78
    Yeah, I could see him either wanting Tatis money or just take it to arb.
  25. mvp 78
    ^^^ If he played any other position, his stock would be much higher. Being a 1b only profile is a big ding on his value.
