    MLBTR's rankings: 1. Bauer 4/128 2. Realmuto 5/125 3. Springer 5/125 4. Ozuna 4/72 I'd say Springer makes the cut.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Sure, he might. My guess is that a few of the premier free agents will get multi-year offers that are too much to pass up in these uncertain times. That seems to be what MLBTR is speculating as well.
  3. Bellhorn04
    I'm sure the guys at MLBTR took into consideration the expected down market. Their guess is $125 mill, and your guess is $68 mill. Something to watch.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Which does make sense.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Pillar has been a good value over his career. FanGraphs has his career dollar value at $103 million. B-R has his career earnings at about $15 million.
  6. Bellhorn04
    The issue isn't so much the draft pick. MLBTR predicts he will get 5 years/125 million, and that looks like it's being discounted a little for the COVID-19 factor. So that's 25 mill a year tacked onto the payroll. Springer is an excellent player that every team would love to have. But I would rather see that kind of money allocated to pitching.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Yes, exactly.
  8. Bellhorn04
    The Pillar of Strength! (OK, maybe I only voted for him so I could use that.)

    Bloom took a while before he named Roenicke too. He's a patient man.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Holy s***. I didn't know what you were talking about till I looked it up.
  11. Bellhorn04
    I remember that when the Nats signed Jayson Werth for 7/126, they basically said the only way they could sign any big names then was with a massive overpay.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Cliff Lee, supposedly. And there have been a few others who said they took a little less. But most of the data on the offers is never made publicly available, so how would we know? Sometimes you hear people say 'we outbid ourselves' as in signings like Price and Eovaldi. But we have no actual clue what other offers there were.

    Don't worry, Chaim's Crackheads are on it!
  14. Bellhorn04
    Great questions, Larry!
  15. Bellhorn04
    You might be the best qualified candidate here, but I think you fall a little short of that list LOL
  16. Bellhorn04
    I have my doubts any posters here can satisfy that list of qualifications!

    Lakins wasn't traded by DD.
  19. Bellhorn04
    A fun exercise might be to figure out what our roster would look like if you reversed every DD trade as if it never happened.
  20. Bellhorn04
    OK, here's your chance: spell out the major part of your complaint.
  21. Bellhorn04
    My bad. From now on that will read 'prospect'.
  22. Bellhorn04
    And they often have a bias toward the highest offer...
  23. Bellhorn04
    All of this is pretty much what I've been saying too.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Not true at all. DD gets blasted regularly whenever our current situation is mentioned.
  25. Bellhorn04
    It's the 'average fan' I'm concerned about. They're the ones who basically foot the bill. The World Series TV ratings were horrendous this year. Of course it's hard to say how much of that is because of COVID and related issues, and how much because a lot less people care about watching baseball anymore.
