David Price

Enscheff said:
So Price has officially become the next Jake Peavy for the Braves? The local guy that loves the Braves and desperately wants to wear the uniform?

I forgot...how did all those Peavy rumors turn out?

Greinke too.

Mariners supposedly in talks for Zobrist and Price. That could benefit the braves as Price said he won't re-sign with a team that is far from home like the mariners. That would make him a free agent the same offseason as Uggla/Justin/Heywood/Walden. Thats 40 mill of next years payroll. If Justin and/or Heywood don't take the big contracts the braves offer then maybe Price does.

I'd rather sign Heyward/JUp than trade the prospects, use the cash it will take to sign Price.

JMO.

How are we going to sign Price? Jason is due for a pretty hefty contract, is he not? I believe it's somewhere around 120 million?

He was saying do not sign Price... use the money instead to sign Heyward or Upton... use the money we would have signed Price for.

I know what he is saying.

Just making fun of him because he thinks Jason is worth 100 million plus.

Of course i do, players get overpaid.

Jason isnt elite offensively but the other traits he brings make him worth it (elite baserunner, amazing defensive outfielder)

If it's Price or Justin/JUp (both), i'm taking JUp/Jason.

The Braves have developed pitching pretty well, hitting prospects OTOH eh.

Jason is average offensively. Yes he is elite in those other areas you mentioned, but not near 100 million if you ask me. Something along the lines of the BJ Upton contract I would be fine with. I know it's not going to happen though.

Fair enough, we'll see this offseason what they offer him, although i doubt Jason accepts heading into his FA year where alot of players all of a sudden have great years
 
It just sucks because BJ could be used as a baseline especially within the organization. We all would agree that Jason is more valuable and important than BJ Upton. His bargaining chip would be just that. He deserves to make more than BJ Upton without a doubt.

Huddy turned out to be pretty good.

I'd rather pay D. Price 140 million than sign Jason to 100+ million given his way inconsistent performance. And I doubt Justin will want to resign if we truly are looking to trade his brother as rumored.

I don't see why it would be Price or both Justin and Heywood. All 3 should get contracts around 20 million even with a discount. Its more like trade for Price and re-sign one of Heywood or Justin. Price has to be considered the easiest to sign. Plus we get 1.5 years of all 3 of them. Maybe if we go deep into the playoffs both years we can keep all 3.

Price has alot of innings on his arm, not saying he isnt good, i'd like to have him but it makes me weary potentially giving him a massive deal.

Of course we'd like to move BJ but it wont happen so it's stupid to discuss.

I'd pay Jason/Justin 100+ each before giving the prospects/contract it will take for Price.
 
For those against trading for Price. Would you oppose signing him when he is a free agent if one or both Heywood/Upton leave?
 
Yanks hardly got burnt on CC the first time. The 2nd contract hasn't gone so well. And I'd say Cliff Lee has been a pretty good investment for the Phils. Think LA is regretting signing Greinke?
 
If we did acquire Price we should really consider trading JUp or Heyward in the offseason. We wouldn't have the money to keep both, and we'd need some cheap, young talent to replace what we'd have to give up to get Price. Personally I'd be afraid to make the commitment it would take to get Price.

Nope, because we arent getting into a bidding war with the LA/NY/Phi markets if he hit FA.

I'd rather sign JUp/Heyward to extensions and roll with the pitching we got.
