    I'm not sure it's quite fair, but given that we need a 3B and an RP, I would do it.
  2. JoeBrady
    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.

    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.

    He says the same thing every post. JH is cheap. The Flops are a disgusting organization. We're never going to sign anyone.

    Just fun, the LAD top five players make more than the other 37 players that Cots lists on their team page.

    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%.
  7. JoeBrady
    It would have to be higher, and I'd pay it.
  8. JoeBrady
    Plus $5M incentives.

    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.

    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?
  11. JoeBrady
    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.
  12. JoeBrady
    Yes, but I was mostly questioning whether Bichette could play 3rd. I might be mistaken.
  13. JoeBrady
    The NLC is baseball's 2nd strongest division after the ALE.
  14. JoeBrady
    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.

    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.
  16. JoeBrady
    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.

    Who said it was going to be a full week before the whiners started up again? My under/over was two days.
  18. JoeBrady
    He's still a pretty good hitter with a very good glove. I don't always look for best-in-class solutions.
  19. JoeBrady
    Jason Bay-the dude's swing was perfect for Fenway.
  20. JoeBrady
    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'.
  21. JoeBrady
    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).
  22. JoeBrady
    I think Bichette and Semien are automatic 2Bs. They almost have to trade Semien. Yoshida for Semien, plus enough/some money to even it out, is a match made in heaven.
  23. JoeBrady
    Wow. I know you pay more when you want shorter terms, but $42M per?
  24. JoeBrady
    FWIW, with the addition of Suarez, I am more open to trading Yoshida and making Duran the DH. I still wouldn't mind hooking him up in a Paredes package, or even a good pitching prospect, but if we aren't spending $25M on a hitter, then upgrading our offense is the next order of business.
  25. JoeBrady
    It took him four years, but I think he finally got it right by trading for Duran. All the previous closers were too sketchy to rely on for a WS aspirant.
