Rendon was a much better defender so that comp doesn't really work either.
-
Austin Riley's deal is a reasonable comp, if you adjust for the difference of two arb years between them.
-
Yes, they have to sign him, no question about it.
-
Offense was way down in 2022, so it's a fair point that Devers's 2022 numbers were a lot better than they look at face value.
-
If he's a DH, his comps are Ortiz and JDM.
-
A more skeptical view would be that 1fWAR costs about 8M on the free agent market, because there are so many busts baked into the average.
-
He's not Ortiz or Manny.
-
But his projected 2023 WAR is 4.8. Which probably has something to do with the fact that 2019 is still his best season. I love the guy and want him signed, but I think we have to be realistic about how good he's going to be. Plus he had some hamstring issues this year that impacted him for quite a while. Baseball is hard on the body.
-
Of course not.
-
Only one of the transactions was a head-scratcher, though.
-
Urquidy seems to look like a stud every time I see him pitch. But his overall numbers are only OK. He has an excellent WHIP of 1.09 but a shaky FIP of 4.35, which appears to be directly related to a penchant for giving up homers. His career ERA is 3.74, for the old schoolers.
-
Maybe BTV figures Houston has lost their marbles because they parted with Click...
-
moon said BTV accepted Verdugo for Urquidy AND Neris. Seems implausible, but what do any of us know.
-
It's kind of ironic that Dombrowski got a big extension, while Click basically got shown the door.
-
Why? The only logical explanation I can see is a conflict between him and Crane.
-
It sounds good.
-
This is assuming: a) They like our plan of replacing JDM with Hozzy/Bobby D. They like McGuire and Wong at catcher.
-
But if they sign Correa it'll knock 30-35 off the 85-95.
-
He is Canadian, though. We're not always all about the money. :D
-
The poll question was just how much you would offer him, maximum.
-
Absolutely true. But man, we have suffered through some long/boring/painful/head-scratching offseasons in recent years.
-
Maybe the real concern is being Faux Tampa Bay North.
-
You're going to have to settle for reported interest and rubbing of hands over $95 mill to spend for a while yet, sir.
-
Add to the pile of reported interest.
-
No worries, he's too smart for that.
