I think Brady and Manning are both in the top 5 QB's alltime, with Montana, Elway and probably Unitas I guess.
-
They're not dealing Lackey. My sig line says how I really feel about most of this.
-
OK, you typed that we didn't need him after 2013. And potential is exactly that, potential.
-
Huh?
-
Yikes, that's a lot, especially since Lackey's average cost for the next 2 years is only 8.5 million.
-
My position is this: I fully expect the payroll to end up at least as high as 2013. And I fully expect Ben to do a good job figuring out how best to allocate the remaining dollars.
-
The 10% annual inflation rate is much, much too high, mark. FanGraphs dollar value per WAR has only gone from about 4.5 million to 5 million over the last 5 years.
-
I don't know, but number-crunching is what the FanGraphs people do.
-
Don't forget that Boras was part of the A-Rod opt-out fiasco though. A-Rod had to fire him and go crawling to the Yankees, who rewarded his crawling by bending over.
-
Or put in a vesting option for a second year. It's quite possible they offered one and Napoli turned it down.
-
You might be able to justify 25-30 million a year for 5 years, but that's about it. Cano is 31. He's not much younger than A-Rod was when he signed the 275 million deal that is currently making the Yankees feel like killing him.

Here's one set of pitch framing numbers for 2013. It shows Salty as a little below average. It shows Santana as worse than Salty. Hanigan is one of the better ones. http://statcorner.com/CatcherReport.php
-
Defensive metrics for catchers are pretty damn confusing, to me anyway. FanGraphs shows Salty at +7.3 runs defensively, 13th best, and Santana at -9.2 runs. I have no clue what these numbers are worth. Plus nobody can measure game-calling ability.
-
I'd rather have Salt than Lava, that's for sure. We did win 97 games with Salt doing most of the catching.
-
Salty had a 3.6 WAR per FanGraphs and 2.9 per B-R, which puts his dollar value higher than that.
-
Impossible to say, really. From what we know of Cherington he leaves all his options open as much as possible.
-
There's no reason to think so.
-
Baseball + numbers does equal fun for me. But no, it's not quite as much fun as sex, drugs or rock 'n' roll.
-
Peralta will be the second player in 2 years (Melky Cabrera the other) to get himself a raise right after a PED suspension. Nice!
-
Push them over what edge Pal?
-
I'm staying with Lucchino until proven otherwise.
-
Lucchino has often not been shy about disclosing stuff about the team's plans. In the offseason before 2011, well before we did the AGon and Crawford deals, he issued one of his State of the Sox statements in which he assured fans that the team was hoping to make two major acquisitions, one by free agency and one by trade.
-
Here are some 2014 payroll AAV numbers for the Yankees: Guaranteed deals: A-Rod, Sabathia, Tex, McCann, Jeter, Soriano, Wells - total 114 million Arbitration eligible - Robertson, Gardner etc. - estimated total 18 million 40 man roster, benefits etc. - estimated total 22 million That's approx. 154 million. So if they really intend to get under the 189 million, they have about 35 million allotted for Cano, the rotation etc. Unless of course A-Rod's suspension holds up, which means it's about 63 million. Maybe they are counting on this.
-
Very cool indeed!
-
I was J/K. I may have to try to put together a 2014 payroll AAV projection for the Yanks, just for fun.
