you would think someone who has been around baseball most of his life, they would produce smarter posts than that.. I mean I bitch more than anyone about letting guys walk.. but they walked out the door while trying to win a championship.. you don't trade great players while trying to win a...

is the upside of trading Waldrep and getting a legit SS via trade and then going out and buying a FA SP to cover those innings better than just keeping Waldrep and signing a legit SS? Waldrep is cheap as hell and has options.. he is super valuable to the Braves right now. He is not going to...

I will let my editor know to proof my post better.. it really shouldn't be hard to see the point someone is making and not getting really hung up on a single word especially when I corrected it two post after saying it.. but take your prize for pointing out I said negative.. doesn't change the...

it is because they needed him at that time and the other options were going to cost money and prospects.. Why you trade for a salary dump and hope for the best. In FA, you have more options and can negotiate.. you can probably find a dozen options that make half what Murph makes that still...

I think you guys are now trying to claim some sort of victory on the word negative... it is not that deep and you can clearly see that I followed up that post with the fact that Murph is basically a throw in that would balance the money out a bit and give the Rangers a good catcher hopefully...

So should the Braves trade Murph?? Lets ask that question. reasons for: he is making 15 million the addition of Yaz pushes him or Drake to part time player at best great trade value that a lot of teams covet reason against: Drake injury seems logical that the Braves should trade him and...

reliever WAR is undervalued in comparison to everyday players and even starting pitchers. not a fair comparison position players (catchers/SS/CF especially) get a defensive boost on dWar already... Murph oWar is less over the last 2 years than Roberts last year total.

I think someone like DeGrom is another guy. If Texas put him on waivers, a few teams would probably take him.. but no team is giving up anything over a 40fv for him and no team is giving him 2/75 with a 3rd year mutual option.. Texas could add DeGrom to the Seager package and it would...

depends on how you value Degrom.. do you think he can throw 180+ innings or is he going to be hurt again. but I think taking on Degrom's money would actually make Seager almost free.

pretty simple really.. lets say Texas and the Braves are in agreeance to trade Seager for Ritchie and one of the newly drafted SS.. but the Braves say, wait, we need to include MethHead to afford Seager. the Braves are not going to get another prospect for that.. so he didn't add any value...

negative in the sense that he adds no value.. He would be added as a payroll trade off.

what would you give if the Stankees came to you and said we want to trade you Geritt Cole? TJS last year.. 3 years left at ~35 per.. looking at a 5-7 war pitcher when healthy..

of course he would be claimed. but that doesn't mean Texas, in particular to the original post, would value him the same.

should those posts be in the offseason thread..

I think faillies are going to over pay for JTR to keep him.. and the void of catchers is exactly why I said I can see both sides of the coin. But trading a catcher and a catcher sitting as a FA is not the same. when dealing with a specific team his 3/45 doesn't look as good because no other...

how much War is baked into framing. That is going to change over the next 2 years for sure.

D is acceptable.. Yaz is a good 4th OF option and if one of the 3 starters goes down, then you can move Yaz as a starter and rely on the C to rotate through DH or bring up McCabe as a DH in some situations.. add that to the improving the BP and other coaches around twit2.0... D is a very fair...

yes.. please be that he has no idea what he is talking about and the new PC is going to convince twit2.0 that BP by leverage is far superior than BP roles.

I can see both sides of the coin in regards to Methhead.. but I think the last 2 years took the shine off that turd. It is real that he can't stay healthy and is still an unknown coming back from hip surgery. He might get 3/45 because the catching market is weak.. but I don't think it is a...

actually coming off a career two seasons. and it looks like it is because he is throwing his 4 seamer more and harder which is a good pitch and mixing in a sinker that moves a lot like his 4 seamer but a bit more (weird combo imo).. and then only mixing in his bad change up on occasion versus...
