OMG, Heyward just signed the Mauer contract. - ML Galaxy Dec 11, 12:04 39
- Way to go, Jason. - David Dec 11, 12:20
- and the royals will now not be able to match the insane price that gordon will get - Truman Dec 11, 12:12 3
  - Gordon is not 26. I doubt he comes close to that number. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 11, 12:16 2
    - no, but it probably pushes his value to near/over $100 for some teams. - Truman Dec 11, 12:17 1
      - He might push 5yr/100mil. If that's too rich, you smile, remember the World Title he helped earn and move on with life. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 11, 12:29
- that is a lot of coin for WAR. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 11, 12:08 33
  - Cubs Nation would sacrifice their firstborn to get a ring -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 11, 12:10 32
    - Cubs Nation? What's that? - toblr.2 Dec 11, 12:45
    - oh, he's a fine player, I just don't think he is a 23 mil a year player -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 11, 12:11 30
      - What's that, about $1mil/year less than Trout? Glad the Cardinals lost this one. nm -- nm - Jim Dec 11, 12:23 10
        
        Yeah, granted, Trout gave an all-time bargain discount...but still. - Will Hunting Dec 11, 12:27 9
        
        Right. I have nothing bad to say about the guy as a player...just that $23mil/yr is way more than I wanted my team to spend. - Jim Dec 11, 12:29 1
        
        I have had Heyward since he was a rookie on my strat keeper team. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 11, 12:31
        
        the only stat where Heyward is excellent in in WAR, and I am not sold on it validity. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 11, 12:29 6
        
        Runs saved is where he's the best player in the majors. - David Dec 11, 12:32 5
        
        Which is hard to quantify given he had less than 2 putouts a game. - Will Hunting Dec 11, 12:39 3
        
        It's easy to quantify through metrics and common sense. - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 11, 12:53 2
        
        Well, the +4 is of the #'s in the Baseball-Reference guides so..... - Will Hunting Dec 11, 13:03 1
        
        The metrics that matter are the tangible ones - David Dec 11, 13:13
        
        right, that is where his WAR number is skewed to the extreme. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 11, 12:33
      - I'm not wild about that contract either. That's a lot for him. And what are they going to do with Baez? They have no place to play him now. - pmb Dec 11, 12:17 10
        
        I don't think Baez is in their plans. - David Dec 11, 12:21 5
        
        Maddon loves Baez. -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 11, 12:21 4
        
        He'd be in n a Braves jersey right now if we wanted him. -- nm - David Dec 11, 12:23 3
        
        for what, Teheran? -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 11, 12:24 2
        
        Soler, Baez and more for Miller got shot down. -- nm - David Dec 11, 12:31 1
        
        sure, because you got the better deal for Miller. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 11, 12:32
        
        Maddon will be mixing and matching lineups, Montero is not gonna catch 5 days a week - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 11, 12:19 3
        
        Ross is still there and catching Lester and maybe Lackey. Eventually they have to get comfortable with Schwarber catching or they'll eventually need - pmb Dec 11, 12:22 2
        
        Schwarber just isn't a catcher. - David Dec 11, 12:34 1
        
        he really does need to go to the AL, and go when he has value. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 11, 12:36
      - but if he helps get them to the next level, that has a value beyond stats alone -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 11, 12:13 7
        
        and if he doesn't, he just Soriano'd them all over again. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 11, 12:15 6
        
        That's my fear. Though he's younger than Soriano when he signed. Also, with the pace at which contracts are going up, maybe 5 years out that's not a - pmb Dec 11, 12:20 2
        
        Tru dat. I know Maddon learned his lesson in Tampa Bay. - Buda Fett Dec 11, 12:25
        
        You'll love him. -- nm - David Dec 11, 12:22
        
        you can always unload him on the Yankees or Dodgers - jar jar trump Dec 11, 12:19 2
        
        you are counting on only 2 teams to be able to move him, and you have to hope - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 11, 12:21

        To be fair, those giant ice cubes, ice balls, don't chill as well either, but for 5he stones to work you have to deep freeze, refer freeze not 2 cold -- nm - General Zeit Dec 11, 11:42
