They have one of the top ranked catching prospects, #65 overall per BA, in AAA. Didn't realize that. I thought about checking but I was far too lazy to. Why is that not being mentioned more in this storyline? I guess playing them both and working him in (assuming he has success) as Molina fades out isn't a terrible arrangement either.

it'll be interesting to see how we feel about this when rizzo is hitting FA at 33 or whatever (i.e. if we decide the right move is to let him go, i'd deal with it - but i'm not sure that's gonna go over that well here) in building this team, it was easy enough to deal with the minor backlash from the rebuild (especially with how little there was), but after this team rips through the league for a few years, it'll be interesting to see if the FO can still stick to their guns and only make the best calculated move for the baseball team w/out regard to PR. given the FO's history, the talent pipeline should be there to allow for it.

I'm not saying it is, purely on a $/win standpoint. I just don't think it's some automatic laughable disaster. $18M is not a ton of money in today's game, and it's for 3 years. They're likely to get some negative value out of it but it's not something that will hamstring them in any significant way unless they choose for that to be the case. And there's at least some value (I have no idea how to quantify it) in avoiding pissing off the vast majority of your fanbase by letting him walk. If they had some readily available replacement coming up in the minors, I might feel differently...but vs replacing him with Montero or Hundley or whatever after 17...meh. If they actually were to replace him with Lucroy, then, well, yeah.

3 years at 18M a year is a number that keeps getting thrown out there. If that's the case, then I'm going to be doing a lot of laughing. I really wouldn't be at all surprised if he managed to exceed that value. I wouldn't be shocked if he didn't, also...but, worst case, even if he's terrible for half of it or something, it's not a whole lot of money or time. His performance last year was worth in the neighborhood of $20M, without any accounting for being one of the better framers in the league. Next year, he's projected to be perform around that or a nominal amount better. There's also some small amount of value to doing right by a lifelong team guy who had a great career for your organization, even if it does go a little bad.

my brain won't even allow me to process the possibility of how good we'd be with an even league average hitting heyward and almora (+ a league averageish fielding schwarber i guess) -

wasn't it free 3-day shipping yesterday and free 2-day shipping today? hold off a couple more days and somebody will come over and put it on you you might be right

if we could pair 2015's pitching with 2016's defense and what will be 2017's offense, we'd win 125
-
holy crap you did win totals
-
Kidding, but I'm a bit more annoyed when people refer to signings as trades. Like this (pinned) Tweet... EDIT: whoops, spoilered for nsfw language

Yeah, I'm a stickler for the Oxford comma too.

Haha, Olney was ahead of the curve.

It's about that time, so why not? I feel like I'm taking a lot of chalk here (and yea, I can't decide if it was the bias of my attempt to not be biased that made me pick Seager over KB for MVP). NL West - Dodgers NL Central - Cubs NL East - Nats NL WC - Giants, Pirates AL West - Astros AL Central - Indians AL East - Red Sox AL WC - Jays, Rays NL MVP - Corey Seager AL MVP - Mike Trout NL Cy - Clayton Kershaw AL Cy - Chris Sale NL ROY - Tyler Glasnow AL ROY - Andrew Benintendi

I know that for the playoffs last year, the Cubs weren't letting me print my own tickets. My STH rep told me to work around it (because I wanted to keep our ticket sheet in tact) by emailing them to myself as though I was forwarding them to another person. So maybe they're just eliminating print at home for STH and people who buy directly? I have no horsefeathering idea. That or StubHub needs to update its site.
-
Yeah, I'm assuming there's some missing update to the language there and maybe you need the MLB app from there or something. Let us know what happens if you buy them.
