    ok but really. is going from rondon/edwards/strop/davis to edwards/strop/davis/chapman(or Jansen) worth $18m a year? Honestly, I don't expect a lot from Strop or Rondon this year. They worry me. And I don't expect the Cubs to go after Jansen because I think they are trying to build Edwards to be the closer for next year with Davis in the helm this year. But yeah, I think another World Series while basically cutting the game down to 6 innings max is worth 18M, if they chose to go that way. going from edwards to jansen doesn't really guarantee a world series i dont think.

    I mean it sounds cool but what is that actually worth It's worth $90M from a team about to win back to back World Series and also get their own TV network. ok but really. is going from rondon/edwards/strop/davis to edwards/strop/davis/chapman(or Jansen) worth $18m a year?

    There's just not much precedent for closers as dominant and as young as Chapman and Jansen hitting FA. It won't happen, but imagine if the Cubs swooped in on Jansen now. You could basically have hockey lines of elite relievers. I mean it sounds cool but what is that actually worth
  4. imb
    Maybe someone can convince me it's smart, but I am absolutely opposed to giving out 5-year contracts to a closer, much less for $90m or whatever.

    Yeah if I was a Sox fan I would be freaking thrilled right now. Even given the volatility of pitching prospects, that's a worthy haul for eaton

    Yeah, Eaton is the guy who said the white sox "lost a leader" when they lost DRAKE LAROCHE LOL

    woah woah woah, the only 6 WAR RF in all of baseball last year were Mookie and Eaton, so I think that's not likely. Also I just learned that Heyward was worth more WAR than Jose Bautista last year.

    The chance that Rodon is just no good, and at least one of Gilotio, Lopez, or Kopech are injured is so high that i'm just planning to delight in their fans' tears.

    Eaton is really good but so much of it comes from being a good RF, and he's a little fragile. So either he moves to CF and loses value or Bryce does.

    holy horsefeathers what

    on the other hand, the nats are much closer to us talent wise than the freaking cards are

    the NL is gonna be pretty lit next year

    If they are really after Otani or Harper, this is the right move. I have loved Jansen for years but $90-$100 million for a closer just sounds like something you look back on and go "oh yeah that was dumb." Part of the reason we won so many games last year was because our SP was awesome, and this is likely the last year or Arrieta, so it makes sense to me to not to go into the season with a questionable pen.

    If Soler continues at his current pace, he'll approach Wade Davis' career WAR at some point in 2031.
  15. imb
    which portion of soler's 1.5 career WAR will you miss the most
  16. imb
    Seriously. I'm gonna extend the FO more than a one-month grace period after bringing us the first World Series in 108 years but that's just me
  17. imb
    lol good luck with that
  18. imb
    probably because he's dead

    Let's laugh at the dodgers before they inevitably sign Harper and Machado http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/11/dodgers-must-cut-debt-to-comply-with-mlb-rules.html

    The Angels don't need to trade Trout, they need to draft better and supplement their roster with better smallish deals they cannot do at the moment because their drafts are all terrible and they have nothing to trade.

    i've been doing the same thing for 13 years. If you step into the batting cage, you've gotta know you're getting balls thrown at you

    underrated favorite of mine was "Cheesehead Cubs Fan." he had some weird meltdown when i made fun of his sig, which was a picture of some sports car photoshopped over a cubs logo. Oh and it had all the car's specs typed out on the sig.

    Wasn't that Deuce Base? Or Deuce Baseman? yep They let that guy around children.
