    Cots has them at $265M. I think the difference is the treatment of 40-man minor leaguers. Cots is assigning them a value of $2,669,200. Spotrac has assigned a value of $820,000 to 20 different players. That doesn't right.

    That's why I always defended DD's extension for Sale. Guys at that level are unicorns. You might only see 2-3 of them in all of BB in any given year.

    Jumping off the Stroud train?
  4. JoeBrady
    Do these things matter? Putting aside the #2 v HR hitter, we acquired a 3.3 Suarez instead of a 2.85 Alonso, plus we added Contreras. That almost has to be better.

    I volunteered to do some work for internal auditing, since they were behind. I bring my report in, look on the wall, and see a picture with a young lady and Papi. I asked if he was a RS fan, this being NYC. He said that was his daughter. She went to a college in Boston and got an internship with the RS. She got to go to all the parties AND got a WS ring. She had to call her dad up for $300 because it was a taxable gift. That might value the ring (at cost) at maybe $1,200-1,500. For an intern. I offered to reimburse him the $300 in exchange for the ring, but he wasn't going for it.

    That's my guess. The NYY can roll with their current outfield; the Mets cannot. Given similar resources, I can't see Hal out-bidding Cohen. I'll be tuning into FAN a lot if that happens.

    I'd add to that the fact that injuries likely won't change Duran's market. Between now and opening day, there is a pretty good chance that at least one GM just doesn't like their rotation, or there is an injury, a rookie/2nd year guy just loses the plate. I feel pretty strongly that someone will call up for Bello.
  8. JoeBrady
    I would do that. I don't think Houston would, but I don't think it is far off either.

    This is what's wrong with America. Notin gave you a perfectly good alternative, trying to bring back classical language, and you refuse. Youth is wasted on the young.

    Hicks was the salary we ate to move Devers. IRT Masa, imho, he's worth more to us than another team, depending on whether or not we trade Duran. If we don't trade Duran, then eat $12M per and move him. If we do move Duran, I am perfectly comfortable platooning Masa and Romy.
  11. JoeBrady
    I couldn't agree more. He was barely a catcher when he was a catcher. Outside of in-game injuries, there is no chance I'd want to risk losing him to an injury just so he could start a game here or there.
  12. JoeBrady
    I see no chance of him playing over Hamilton.
  13. JoeBrady
    Uh, could I blame my wife?
  14. JoeBrady
    Definitely a good one. I think we had more descriptive adjectives once upon a time.
  15. JoeBrady
    I never heard of it. Until I Wiki'd it and realized I had seen it. I think DoD is still more logical than the Mets.
  16. JoeBrady
    Who is the Con Man?
  17. JoeBrady
    The first two are fine. Now that we've worked on your words, I want you to start referring to JH himself by different names.
  18. JoeBrady
    I've been saying that since it was just us and the NYY. Trying to outbid the NYY would almost certainly result in a bad contract. Now it's LA and the NYMs. The rest of the league is going to bid like us.
  19. JoeBrady
    IMHO, the defensive metrics have too much variance from year to year to be dependable. If a hitter has some variance, I can look at objective numbers like K/W, BABIP, HR/FB, EV, etc., to make some sense of them. I don't see that in fielding. If I need to choose something, I go with the Fielding Bible.
  20. JoeBrady
    I see almost no chance Gray gets any serious playing time. He's been with a who's who of teams that want cheap talent (PT, TB, Oak, Mia, WS) and hasn't stuck with any of them.
  21. JoeBrady
    It's a long year. He only has to repeat it 365 times, and he's probably up to 35-40 already. He needs to pace himself.
  22. JoeBrady
    Do you have a quota on how many times a day you write 'cheapskate'?
  23. JoeBrady
    I would take that, but it depends on whether the Mets are prioritizing efficient or effectiveness. If they just want the most wins, this is a good move for them. But the Hicks contract will cost them $43M with the CBT. If they want some efficiency, they could add Tong instead of paying for Hicks.
  24. JoeBrady
    Any thought to Paredes at 2nd and Mayer at 3rd? On paper, Paredes grades out similarly at both positions. If that was the case, and assuming 3B is Mayer's long-term position, better to get him settled there.
  25. JoeBrady
    One might consider 3B a decade-long problem since we had a DH there. Regardless, we can only solve the problems in front of us, barring the acquisition of a DeLorean (yes, Fred, we know JH is too cheap to buy one).
