It was meant as a joke, but I'd give them $5M for 2018 and then again in 2019 plus give them Johnson and a couple non top prospects.
-
But unless they can move Cueto or Samardzija, I don't see them in on Martinez... HRam and Porcello for both of them? (LOL)
-
Margot is a starter as well.
-
I keep waiting for news of a big signing, but I hear are crickets.
-
If all this is true, I would have given ERod, Hembree, Chavis and Beeks for Cole. (If they wanted Marrero, he could go, too.)
-
How about our only 3 on BA's list from 2006? 22. Lester 37. Papelbon 77. Pedroia
-
How many of these 6 top 100 prospects will be allstars or back-ups? 2016 3. Moncada 15. Benintendi 18. Devers 19. Espinoza 56. Margot (on Padres at time of rankings) 89. Kopech
-
I'd take ERod over Musgrove, despite the year less of control. I agree on Feliz > Hembree. I do not think it would take Chavis & Dalbec to improve on Moran & Martin. Maybe.... ERod, Hembree, Marrero or Lin plus 1 or two from Ockimey, Shawaryn, Beeks & Dalbec.
-
It's not like they got much from the 'Stros. How about sending them ERod, Marrero and Hembree?
-
It's not like Cobb is Buch or something. Yes, 6 starts from 2015 to 2016 looks horrible, but the years surrounding those were not too bad. GS'd 23 in 2012 22 in 2013 27 in 2014 29 in 2017 (FYI, Buch had over 21 ML starts three time in 11 years.)
-
While I don't disagree, JD won't get the money he wants, so if we can get him for what think he's worth, I'm not for giving up on signing him, at this point.
-
Word is, SF is looking to stay under the luxury limit, and their about $2M under right now, so unless they cut salary somehow, I don't see them in on JD.
-
Kinda like the Rays who turn journeymen into top producing 1Bmen... Carloe Pena Kotchman Morrison
-
The Rays biggest strength is choosing the right young players to extend early and getting them to agree. They are also very good at choosing the exact right time to let players go by trading them or getting comp picks. Many of their past players have career years with the Rays and then go elsewhere and suck. Another thing they often get right is signing cheap (sometimes even journeymen) free agents who go on to have career years. They may do better with lower round picks, but I listed the many top picks chosen in the legendary 2011 draft, and here are others: 2017: Brendan McKay (4) [39th in BA 2018] 2016: Josh Lowe (10) 2015: Garrett Whitley (13) 2014: Casey Gillaspie (20) 2013: Nick Ciuffo (21) & Ryne Stanek (29) 2012: Ricjie Shaffer (25) 2010: Joshua Sale (17) 2009: LeVon Washington (30) 2008: Tim Beckham (1) 2007: David Price (1) 2006: Evan Longoria (3) 2005: Wade Townsend (8) 2004: Jeff Niemann (4) 2003: Delmon Young (1) 2002: BJ Upton (2) 2001: Dewon Brazelton (3) They have struck gold on draft picks, mostly long ago, when they had top picks, but I would not say it is their strength.
-
Big if, but if LoMo could hit 38 HRs again in 2018, it would be an inexpensive but significant upgrade.
-
I totally agree. They've been very competitive per dollar spent. They were masters of the system of gaining supplemental picks. Here's an example of them at their best (but note how many of these picks have not produced): 2011 Draft--10 picks in the top 60! 1 (24) Taylor Guerrieri (for losing Carl Crawford) 1 (31) Mikie Mahtook (for Rafael Soriano) 1 (32) Jake Hager 1S (38) Brandon Martin (for Soriano) 1S (41) Tyler Goeddel (for Crawford) 1S (42) Jeff Ames (for Grant Balfour) 1S (52) Blake Snell (for Brad Hawpe) 1S (56) Kes Carter (for Joaquin Benoit) 1S (59) Grayson Garvin (for randy Choate) 1S (60) James Harris Jr (for Chad Qualls) 2 (75) Granden Goetzman (for Balfour) 2 (89) Lenny Linsky This was shockingly unprecedented, but largely squandered.
-
They've had a lot of top 100 misses, though.
-
I'll be mildly shocked, if we don't sign JD. I doubt he gets more than $125M/5 or $135M/6
-
Seems out two top 100 kiddos look better to law than BA.
-
Players 25 and under Boston: Betts Bogey ERod Beni Devers NYY Judge Sanchez Montgmoery Severino Torreyes Bird Frazier HOU Bregman Fisher McCullers Correa CLE Ramirez Lindor Meritt
-
True, but if the Yanks did not call up Judge and Sanchez, and the Astros didn't call up Bregman and...
-
I can't see AZ topping $100M/5, so how can they come close to $125M? I'm thinking we are by ourselves. I hope DD doesn't bid against himself. We seemed 6to plan our luxury tax reset just right, and this is the opportunity to capitalize on the fact that NY and LA are not in the heavy bidding wars. We will likely not be able to sign big next winter, so this is it.
-
Kinda scary when out top competition in the AL this year also has so many more top and or better prospects... NYY: 6, 38, 41, 59, 77, 81 HOU: 10, 15, 62, 76 CLE: 20, 33 BOS: 83, 85 (Also, 6 of the top 21 prospects are in the AL East- none with the Sox.)
-
Giants sign Austin Jackson ($6M). I doubt they are in the hunt for JD. Who is left? BOS AZ TOR
-
Moustakas shouldn't either. He's coming off his best season and would be competing with Machado, Beltre and Donaldson next winter. (This might be a reason why nobody he seriously interested in him this winter.)
