Is Baez faster than Duran and Locastro?
-
With Boyd, my guess is they think he's worth less than the arb estimate of about $7M and think they can do better from withinthe system of by signing a better pitcher for $7M or an equal pitcher for less than $7M. Renfroe and Boyd are both estimated at $7M, but Renfroe has another arb year. Would anyone trade Renfroe for Boyd?
-
It may help some defenders, particularly OF'ers, make up for bad breaks on the ball or poor route-taking to still make the play, but yes, speed, alone does not make a defender great. The quickness vs speed aspect is important. I think Devers is quick (as in reflexes), but not too fast.
-
YES! Speed and quickness up the middle on defense was common with both these managers.
-
I'm thinking, if we sign Baez, we are telling Bogey, "You are playing 2B or 3B or bye bye."
-
I'd lean no, unless we trade Bogey or he readily agrees to play 2B in 2022. I'd probably go $114/6.
-
Maybe he gets $114M/6.
-
He was the best of the best. Sparky's comment makes sense, too, especially in an era where speed was more important- on defense and offense.
-
I'll wait to reinstate him in my top 10. I'd probably put Song there, too, but I'll wait on him, too.
-
It was sarcasm. I think Maeda's production will end up being better than Downs+Wong, but it's not a clear choice.
-
BTV hated Boyd, then liked him, and now back to the dumps. I think the Tigers hold on to him, if all they can get is Franchy- who cleared waivers. He should not ne non tendered- even at a $7M arb cost.
-
Yes, one-third of $300M is $100M. That's what he will likely get. (Maybe a 6th year option with a $5M buyout making it $105M/5.)
-
True, but we could have benched him, if that's what we wanted all along.
-
Baez might get $100M/5. Let's not say he's near the money those others will be getting.
-
It sure is, but I see him busting out, next year. This guys is great.
-
Mookie got much more than $28M x 8, which is the max I think Bogey could get.
-
Good to see they have Mayer #1. I'd go... 1. Mayer 2. Casas 3. Yorke 4. Bello 5. Duran 6. Jordan 7. Downs 8. Winckowski 9. Seabold 10. Groome
-
In hindsight, yes, but even, now, it's a close call. I think I'd rather have had Maeda than Wong & Downs, but certainly that could prove to be the wrong answer. (Nothing against Downs or Wong; I just like pitching more.)
-
I just pointed out that we pretty much know one pitcher we could have gotten, since he was traded for Graterol. It's a close call, but at the time, I wanted Maeda and his very team-friendly contract. I'd probably still say yes.
-
Too many judge players on small sample sizes.
-
He's going to look for $30M x 10 and maybe settle for $28M x 8.
-
True, but two points to add: 1. Maeda pitched in relief quite a bit some of those years. 2. I might rather have Maeda at the low cost he signed for than Wong and Downs.
-
Well, we know almost certainly we could have gotten Kenta Maeda.
-
According to BTV, we could get Montas and Trivino for Duran and one of Downs or Dalbec but maybe we’d need to give up Duran, Dalbec and Groome.
-
Depends what GMs think of him and some others. We could trade Duran, Dalbec and Downs and go 3-D.
