    From Desperate to Dawdling and Dithering.

    Hosmer is only 28, though, so if you were looking at him with rose-colored glasses you might argue that some of the inconsistency was due to the learning process.
  4. Bellhorn04
    In 64, count 'em, 64 PA's. Kind of a small sample, no?

    The consensus of the stories seems to be they planned to cut the payroll by 30 million if they couldn't trade Stanton, but that they were going to try to trade him as well, bringing the total slash up to 55 or 60 million.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Some of the stories I'm finding say they planned to cut the payroll by as much as $60 million.

    Jeter is a 4% owner - what makes you think he's the one calling the shots?
  8. Bellhorn04
    OTOH his poor ratings as a fielder should make him less appealing to an NL team.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Correct, but the opt-out only adds more risk for the team holding the contract. The opt-out means you're only guaranteed to have his services for 3 years, but if he goes downhill you're stuck with his 25 million AAV on the books for 10 years.

    I agree, he will do everything he can to get back on the field. Though it must be noted that sometimes it's the body that make the decision.
  11. Bellhorn04
    The problem is that J.D. is the perfect fit. He's the best bat available, he will only cost money, and there probably aren't many other teams interested in him.
  12. Bellhorn04
    No, but I think there's a pretty good chance Stanton's contract won't look so good in 5 years either. My point is just that there aren't very many teams who can take on that kind of money and risk. I don't think if the Twins, for example, were in the race in July this year you could add them to the list of possible suitors for Stanton at the deadline.

    I'll believe that Harper and Machado are going to easily top Stanton's contract when I see it. I don't get why everyone thinks the inflation rate for baseball salaries is going to continue to escalate. This last CBA seemed to indicate otherwise.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Funny, I thought you were the same guy who has repeatedly condemned Dombrowski for the Miggy and Verlander contracts. Now you're suggesting it's A-OK for most teams to take on Stanton's contract?
  15. Bellhorn04
    Waiting to deal him would have entailed some significant risk. He could have gotten hurt or off to a bad start. And in the history of baseball how many teams have made a deadline trade for a $275 million contract? Remember they put him on waivers this year and no one claimed him. This way at least they were guaranteed to dump most of the contract.
  16. Bellhorn04
    I'm disappointed too, but if he signs Martinez on reasonable terms it'll be seen as a good thing. I just hope it's not taking up all his attention staring down the brutal Boras.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Jeter only has a 4%, or 1/25th, shareholding of the team, I'm not sure how many people realize this.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Have to keep reminding ourselves he's a Mariners fan, and therefore has some just cause for bitterness.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Depends how you define 'modest' I guess.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Jeter defends himself: "I'm just a patsy!"
  21. Bellhorn04
    Santana to Phillies - 3 years, $60 million.
  22. Bellhorn04
    I must have missed the part in your post that said 'as a defender'.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Still a 70+ WAR career.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Yes, our fractured clubhouse was made obvious by winning the division.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Very informative and insightful, thanks...
