    I'm pretty sure Speier gets his numbers from the right sources. He knows how to divide 5 into 32.5. Maybe there were some benefits included in Sale's contract that had to be included in the AAV. Speier actually shows Sale's AAV at $6,769,562.50 - he must have got the number from his 'MLB sources' that he references. You don't just make up a number like that.

    Have to give the Yankees credit though, they've been reloading their farm system and staying away from big signings, other than this one.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Now Theo's got Lester, Lackey and Koji - all our studs from the 2013 playoff run.
  4. Bellhorn04
    I think he's right there too, because there's a $1 million buyout on the 2018 option, which is guaranteed money, so it has to be factored into the AAV.

    Keep in mind that Henry isn't a young man any more. By the time the 2017 season is over he'll be 68 years old.

    I can't see it. I think Hanley will DH against RH starters and play some 1B against LH starters with Young DH'ing against LH starters.

    He'll not only cost a first round pick, but there will be 50% luxury tax on whatever his salary is.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Presumably the Red Sox do want something in return for Buch, so you have to factor that in along with his salary.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Thanks Ben on that one.
  10. Bellhorn04
    His figures are right, he just did it differently. The difference between his numbers and yours is in the salary costs for minor league players on the 40 man but not on the 26 man. He shows the cost of the 14 minor leaguers as only 1.2 million to start the year. But then he has some other calculations where he factors in the cost of call-ups. He goes on to project that we will go over the threshold with the call-ups etc.
  11. Bellhorn04
    I think he got it right. Take a closer look.
  12. Bellhorn04
    It's debatable about the Verlander extension being a bad deal for the Tigers. They may end up getting full value for that.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I can't see them getting very much for Clay. It would be primarily a salary dump.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Of course they wouldn't. It's not like they've magically transformed into a contender since July LOL
  15. Bellhorn04
    They only made it to the playoffs 5 times so 4 out of 5 times to the ALCS is 80%.
  16. Bellhorn04
    We'll see if DD does better than Theo. Theo did OK in spite of the 'mess'.
  17. Bellhorn04
    They should get paid. Just consider this for a moment though. This year David Price got paid about 135,000 per inning (31 million 230 innings). If Chapman pitches 70 innings this tear he'll be making about 246,000 per inning (17.2 million).
  18. Bellhorn04
    I liked it.
  19. Bellhorn04
    DD's Tigers may have been in a weak division, but they did make it to the World Series twice and the ALCS 4 times.
  20. Bellhorn04
    What the hell is 8/1/16? C'mon, it's a simple bet and it's only a sig bet. I'm wearing mine right now.
  21. Bellhorn04
    "The playoffs are a crapshoot."
  22. Bellhorn04
    Will the Yankees be making a move for a starter?
  23. Bellhorn04
    Cripes, mal. JBJ plays a beautiful centerfield and he had 26 homers and 87 ribbies in his first full season. You're a hard man to please.
  24. Bellhorn04
    No playoffs are a crapshoot for you, huh? Cleveland was a red hot team, you can't deny that at least. They handled the Jays easily and almost took down the powerful Cubs.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I don't hear anyone else mentioning it much.
