There's no such thing...

Good one. I missed him.

Free Agents (options declined) Andrew Chafin Av Garcia Clippard Diekman M Carpenter Ca. Martinez I Desmond
-
I'd probably say 10-15%, but I'd like to see 2.
-
What's the chances we nab two quality starters, including ERod from this 7 man mix? Scherzer R Ray Gausman ERod Rodon Stroman Kershaw Questionable (Any of these you place in the above class?): Verlander Syndergaard Jon Gray W Miley D Duffy S Matz A Cobb Foltynewicz (Anybody you'd add to the 2nd class?)
-
He might get that in today's market, but I hope not with us. We need a #1 or #2. I'd settle for a #2 and #3 pushing Pivetta to #5. I think Pivetta might be one of baseball's best #5's but only an average #4.
-
I'm not sure if a few eager to spend owners makes a difference.
-
Yes, rotational depth. (I'm rarely for signing #5/6's.)
-
The Astros talk shows are talking about their budget being over $70M, this winter (No Verlander, Correa and others). The Jays have said they will spend more. The Rays will likely not spend more but find and promote more gems. The Yanks are the wild card spenders. There is talk of the Tigers going after Correa or another big name. It could be a big spending winter.

1000+ PAs (Last 3 years) .948 Betts (.895 last 3 years) .929 Freeman (.946 last 3 years) .917 JD (.869) .910 Cruz (.936) .894 Bogey (.899) .880 Story (.864) .872 Castellanos (.880) .864 Seager (.876) .851 Schwarber (.862) .850 Devers (.886) .843 Bryant (.845) .836 Cron (.846) .830 Belt (.859) .819 Baez (.789) .816 S Marte (.829) .815 Conforto (.824) .811 Correa (.844) .811 Semien (.854) .796 Verdugo

I'm thinking Kikuchi might be a nice grab.
-
I know wins are a "team stat," but ERod is a winner- plain and simple. Replacing him will not be easy. I hope he takes the QO. Team Record in ERod Starts: 19-4 2018 26-8 2019 n/a 2020 19-12 2021 That's 64-24 total or a 73% winning %. Does any MLB pitcher have a better team winning percent in their starts? Is this a MLB record for an 85+ start stretch? His record is 45-19. Despite missing 2020, he's still 6th in wins and just 4 wins from second.
-
Rodon's price is not listed, but we can infer they think he'll make less than Stroman.
-
My guess is Max gets $35M x 2. Maybe they go $54M/3
-
You think he takes $25M x 6+ (I'd rather have Semien at $25M/5. He's a better fielder.)
-
Good comp, and Verlander is older. Maybe coming back from TJS is more predictable than what Kluber went through. In all honesty, forgetting what happened in 2021, I'd take this year's Verlander over last year's Kluber and Richards.
-
Posey retires. Nick Castellanos opts out. No word on Schwarber and JD, yet. (No way Schwarbs takes his option.)
-
True, but it solves the longer term SS issue beyond Bogey's opt out date.
-
Agreed. For a while, I've been saying I would not sign Stroma to a long term deal, and I still think he gets more than $92M/4, but I'd give him that and even a bit more.
-
That would put us significantly over the current tax line, but maybe we'll go way over.
-
Kole Calhoun was not given his option. Yusei Kikuchi declines player option. The fun begins...
-
I think several horses have been beaten to death on this. I concur. Majority rules: Robo Umps for Balls & Strikes in 2020. Those in favor: Yipee! Those opposed: You'll hardly notice! Adiois, amigos.
-
The dead arm at the end is worrisome, but on a 2 year deal, I'd go large for him. It will be hard to outbid the Dodgers, but maybe they go for 2 from Ray, Gausman & Stroman to replace Scherzer & Kershaw. I also wonder what Kershaw will get. Is Verlander worth a gamble? Syndergaard seems too much of a longshot, to me.
-
Weird how he is worth $35M, but Semien is $25M and Baez is below the top ten level.
-
Here's a wild scenario... Let's say we have $40M for the winter budget and trade Bogey ($20M) and Vaz ($7M) and JD opts out ($19M). That makes about $86M to spend: $25M Semien (SS) $23M Stroman (SP) $18M ERod (SP) $14M Schwarber (DH/OF/1B) $3M Iggy Utility $3M Pina 1. Kike CF 2. Schwarber DH 3. Semien SS 4. Devers 3B 5. Renfroe RF 6. Verdugo LF 7. Dalbec-Casas 1B 8. Arroyo-Iggy 2B 9. Pina- Plawecki/Wong C Eovaldi, Sale, Stroman, ERod, Pivetta, Seabold Houck, Whitlock, Barnes, Taylor, Barnes, DHern, Sawamura, Davis Not sure this is any better than the 2021 team, except for the rotation.
