  1. Just out of curiosity, does that include pension benefits. In Westchester, some of the cities have multiple tiers, and the elders do far better than the newbies.
  2. With the addition of Suarez, I'm more open to the idea of keeping Duran and trading Yoshi. But I'd need to see some health from Casas.
  3. To be honest, I stopped reading after the first 15,000 iterations. I just thought it was odd that he waited until earlier today, to respond to one of yesterday's post, just so he could say JH was cheap. He had no other point.
  4. I predicted that would be your next post.
  5. I'm not sure it's quite fair, but given that we need a 3B and an RP, I would do it.
  6. I'd pass. i consider Mayer/Keaschall a wash. Then it becomes 6 year of Tolle for 3 of Lewis and one for Jeffers. Jeffers has huge potential, but hasn't shown any consistency. ps-I wouldn't hate it.
  7. We're not trading him because of Masa. There's not a single person on the planet that thinks 'The RS have Masa so they have to trade Duran'. Before the Suarez signing, some of wanted Duran traded for a #2 SP, because we felt that a #2 SP was far more important than a #4/DH. Now that we have Ranger, some of want to trade Duran for a 2B/3B type because we feel that a 2B/3B is far more important than a #4/DH.
  8. He says the same thing every post. JH is cheap. The Flops are a disgusting organization. We're never going to sign anyone.
  9. Just fun, the LAD top five players make more than the other 37 players that Cots lists on their team page.
  10. I'd have thought it would be impossible to have two Hayden Mullins in B-R, but there are, and you linked the wrong guy. Good article, but he definitely needs more development. Probably needs to cut his BB9 by 50%.
  11. It would have to be higher, and I'd pay it.
  12. Plus $5M incentives.
  13. I'm wondering how many of these opt-outs are because the players are expecting a change to the CBT? If the caps change by $10M, instead of $2-3M, teams will theoretically have a higher threshold for spending.
  14. DD and the Phillies are in on everyone, but land no one. Middleton is the cheapest $300M owner in baseball. Isn't that how it goes?
  15. I don't know how the deal with salaries on a trade, but Yoshida is owed $18M per, and Semien is owed $24M per. The extra $6M still leaves us under the 3rd threshold and makes us a lot better. This scenario had assumed Bichette plays 2nd and Baty plays 3rd, which is by no means necessarily so.
  16. Yes, but I was mostly questioning whether Bichette could play 3rd. I might be mistaken.
  17. The NLC is baseball's 2nd strongest division after the ALE.
  18. While I agree with that, then the players will have to kick extra someplace else. Most unions don't reward the newer members at the expense of the older members.
  19. Sure they play the LAD and SDP 26 times, but they only had 183 wins. Cincy and Pitt had to play Mil and the Cubs, who combined for 189 wins.
  20. The best way to ensure small market teams won't spend is to make sure they don't get good picks. Teams like Pitt and Cincy 'might' spend if they have a shot. If they are locked into 65 wins, because they don't have any high draft picks, then they will default to spending the least amount possible. I have almost no doubt about that.
  21. Who said it was going to be a full week before the whiners started up again? My under/over was two days.
  22. He's still a pretty good hitter with a very good glove. I don't always look for best-in-class solutions.
  23. The EV and bat speed are worrisome. The fact that the Cubs chose to spend $32M or so on Bregman, instead of minimum wage on Shaw, raises the question of why. I lean heavily on understanding the other guy's motivation. Maybe my favorite line in The Big Short is when the guy says 'sure I'm interested in the deal. But first you have to tell me how you're going to frack me'.
  24. Semien. He's costing the NYM ~ $50M CBT and has no position. Semien for Yoshida. Yoshida/Vientos platoon DH, while Yoshida backs up their non-existent LF, and Vientos backs up Baty (RH) and Polanco (unlikely to play a full season).
