    I don't think there's any way he gets that after this past year. $3.5M would be too much for him, but I don't have an issue bringing him back at that price or lower. If Vazquez takes a significant pay cut, he'd be an option.

    In my "blueprint" I had us acquiring young catchers. One (Logan O'Hoppe) would be ready on day one, and a second could get a late-season callup. Those FA don't look promising. Maybe as ST invites? Sign a couple, throw them against the wall, and see what sticks? I think Feliciano is going to get a shot to make the team.

    Burnes won't make THAT much. He still has 2 arbitration years. Woodruff is also marginally overpaid. Lauer would require more (his arb. estimate is 5.2 in 2022; he'll average more than $6M on a 5 year contract (maybe $50M?). And your 2022 $ estimates on these extensions are too high--salaries will increase over time. Way too much deferred money. Maybe do it for Burnes, but not the rest. You're bringing back the same guys (plus Turang and Frelick); only hope is that players improve.

    Is Briceno (one of) our Bricenos?
  5. Robocaller
    You answered your own concerns. Look at his #s when his BABIP was .300+ (August-October). That's the true Adames. If anything, I think an extension would be a good case of buying low. OTOH, Turang needs to be given a chance to be our long-term SS.

    Burnes is the one they should open the bank for. I don't think it will happen, but if we truly believe: "you need those types of pitchers to effectively compete for a World Series. Yet, they are in rare supply and are particularly hard to develop." Burnes is the one to target. A top 3 SP, not a top 15 SP. But if our position player prospects hit, we might not need 3 top 25 SP to win.

    yes, but "gold glove" suggests fielding the ball is key.

    I'm not against acquiring Yandy Diaz, but Taylor wouldn't be enough. You'd have to add someone like Mendez to the package. Plus, he's not a good 3B. He'd be great as a Corner INF-DH guy who gets 450-500 ABs or so. If he and Urias are on the team, Urias should be getting most of the starts at 3B (Urias was fine at 3B). Diaz would be a great platoon partner with Tellez (not saying Tellez shouldn't play against some LH). He could play 3B or DH when he's not playing 1B. He'd help mightily against LHP. Quintana should get $8-12M a year. I don't get replacing Burnes with him, when he wouldn't be a significant cost savings. Particularly when you have none of the players acquired for Burnes on the 26 man roster.

    they could have pitched him against the best Nats hitters. It's not that shocking.
  13. Robocaller
    I guess we have to root for one of the NL teams (plucky underdogs) rather than the Evil Empire (of the American League, the Yankees), or the Cheaters (Astros.) Ah, give it to S.D.
  14. Robocaller
    You mean like the Dodgers did this year? Having the best team is no guarantee. Considering our budgetary limitations, the "bite of the apple" approach seems wise.
  15. Robocaller
    I don't understand the last phrase there. He is pre-arb, though if he were eligible he probably wouldn't get half of $10M.
  16. Robocaller
    in a trade, Urshela would be a reasonable get.
  17. Robocaller
    we literally couldn't without acquiring someone. Even McCutchen played better in the field.

    because of the long history of gold gloves going to good hitters who field poorly. For example, Derek Jeter won 5 gold gloves in spite of being a below-average fielder. Basically gold gloves don't mean much, except to the player who has a bonus in his contract for a GG.

    Nowhere did I suggest anything that goes against the "rules" you posted. The stats that were posted were for LF with 600+ innings. A guy would qualify as a LF if he played 698 innings spread: 250LF, 240CF, 208RF.

    Even though we'd not be trading anything super-valuable, I don't want McMahon; he's a bad hitter outside of Colorado. I think we'd need to get a catcher who at least challenges Feliciano for a roster spot. And another starting pitcher, if only a vet on a 1-year contract. I think you underestimate what it would take to sign Burnes and Woodruff by at least $30M each. Other than that, seems reasonable.
  24. Robocaller
    I think it only means they want to get him reps batting and the position he plays doesn't mean much. He had shoulder surgery in the past, which moved him off 3B; I have no idea to what degree his arm is limited, if at all, at this point.
  25. Robocaller
    I'd hypothesize that some of the best LFs probably played a good bit in CF or RF, so I don't know what's a good minimum number of innings played in Left.
