    Sure, he MIGHT get an 8 year offer. Of course, he didn't last time around. Seager, Baez, Semian & Story got a combined 29 years, $780 million. Their new teams finished a combined 62 games under .500. 88 if you factor in the fact that the Rangers double dipped. Need to at least make the offer. Never know how the market will break.

    I for one am intrigued by a 3B named Brooks who probably should have been drafted by the Orioles.
  3. dxpavelka
    Offer Correa 5 years $192 and have a conversation about playing a different position when Lewis is ready. Go big.
  4. dxpavelka
    Winning fixes attendance and enthusiasm. Injuries are unpredictable including returning from them.
  5. dxpavelka
    Offer Correa 5 years $193 million. Incorporate a conversation with the new owner at 601 N 1st AV regarding the virtues of moving to a different position when (if) Lewis is ready.

    Kind of depends on whether we can get 300 games out of Buxton, Larnach & Kiriloff. Don't want Garlick to be lead our OF in games played but don't want Celestino to do so either. Would also prefer to see Gordon get more action in the infield than outfield, especially if Correa leaves and Lewis isn't ready for the opening bell.
  7. dxpavelka
    Judge would certainly qualify as outfield depth.
  8. dxpavelka
    What stands out to me is that he'd better have a great big league career or it was another failed trade.
  9. dxpavelka
    PROOF is a scientific fact. You have none. Just your opinion. Which you're welcome to. Doesn't PROVE anything.
  10. dxpavelka
    Should never have left their old team. There was no adequate PROVEN replacement. I'm not terribly interested in what your uninterested in pursuing.
  11. dxpavelka
    Would have been plenty of ABs for Eddie & Cruz. What they did elsewhere is not necessary an indicator of what either would have done here. But, hey, If you're good with Kiriloff & Larnach on the 60 day and Cave hitting .224 and Contreras hitting .111 who am I to argue?
  12. dxpavelka
    Maybe. But it PROVES nothing.
  13. dxpavelka
    There has yet to be a metric developed that measures heart. If there was one, this regime would not have moved on from guys like Eddie Rosario, Nelson Cruz and, soon, Carlos Correa.
  14. dxpavelka
    Not quite sure how this year PROVED that rest days don't help prevent injuries......
  15. dxpavelka
    This team has a "no heart" policy. Rosario had to go. Nelson Cruz shortly thereafter. Carols Correa's pretty much the only guy with heart this year. We'll do whatever it takes to ensure his departure.
  16. dxpavelka
    If he played 90% of the games that contract would be $250 million and he'd have a different address.
  17. dxpavelka
    And move Duran to the rotation....
  18. dxpavelka
    Just glanced at the sentence about Larnach & Kiriloff being hopefully fully healthy and didn't see the word "hopefully" at first. Thought: That's funny **** right there. Then I saw the word "hopefully" and then I remembered that "hope is not a strategy"......
  19. dxpavelka
    Lots of guys come back from TJS as starters. Would have been worth the shot. Not like we were flush with dominant SP while he was here.
  20. dxpavelka
    Um, mostly the fact that you listed them all as guys who expected to be starters ahead of him and if that's the expectation, innings go with it.
  21. dxpavelka
    he just might have
  22. dxpavelka
    The fact that May wasn't that great a relief pitcher only amplifies the fact that he MIGHT have been better as a starter. Would love to know how you'd be expecting more starting innings from any of Maeda, Ober or Winder next year than a doubling of Duran's 65 since none of them approached that number this year either.
  23. dxpavelka
    If banning shifts results in more hitting that means more action. If more action increases game times (or doesn't reduce game time as much) I don't see a down side. Just a better product. I do, however, agree that guys just need to learn to hit the ball where other guys ain't.
  24. dxpavelka
    If they're making the bases bigger to help player safety, why not just go the softball route and have double bases at first?
  25. dxpavelka
    Must have missed where I put a percentage on it. I'm just saying there's a chance.
