    Only if you assume every player drops the same way, and they have the same type of skill sets. They have way different skills sets. Much of Reyes value came from speed, which drops much quicker than power. Tulo also only has 4 years left on his contract and he accumulated 5.3 WAR in 2013 and 2014.
  2. jimmer
    Player A is two years older, way less productive and was never as good as player B to being with. Probably why he keeps getting passed around like a hot potato.
  3. jimmer
    perhaps, but he will be 35 when his contract ends not 40. So it's probably fine. Since he's younger and better player than Reyes who they were on the hook for anyway.
  4. jimmer
    Yeah, not true. Berrios is 19th on that list. http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/midseason-top-50-prospects2015/
  5. jimmer
    yeah, seriously, of the three Kiley has the highest opinion of him. Notice they didn't even show his Baseball America prospect listing on his BR page (still doesn't) . Because he wasn't top 100 (or certianly not top 50) Berrios was top 50 in BP, MLB and BA. He wouldn't have cost that much, certainly not Sano.
  6. jimmer
    except that he did have TJ surgery and going into this season, he was Kiley Ms #67 prospect. They also have to actually trade Reyes AND get quality for him. Brock was talking about what the Rockies got in THIS trade, not about what Hoffman was or just assuming the Rockies wouldn't mess up the Reyes trade too., if the trade even happens.
  7. jimmer
    that's 2 years at 22M each year guaranteed and then 4M buyout if the third year isn't exercised. That's 48M for 2 years AND whatever they will owe for this year, like 7M. So around 55-56M for just under 2.5 years of a bad player. They better flip him for some quality or it's really bad for them.
  8. jimmer
    average defense as opposed to horrible defense (Reyes)? yeah, might help (assuming he only stays average this year)cause last year and the year before, well above average. .
  9. jimmer
    They gave up the best shortstop in baseball and a decent reliever for the Blue Jays salary dump, top 100, but not top 50, prospect and some filler.
  10. jimmer
    First, range factor? Why is that the stat to look at? It doesn't actually measure range. Second, because of one downturn year on defense he'll fall off the map?Because of one season? That's a trend? He accumulated 5.3 WAR in less than 100 games last year and is projected to have 3 more WAR than Reyes next year. What, he's gonna drop like stone right after that at the ripe age of 32?
  11. jimmer
    going into this season, Kiley McDaniel had Berrios #24 and Hoffman # 67. That's not so close. Berrios also got a future value ranking of 60. Hoffman, 55. Tulo will still be a quality player in 2017 and 2018. And they relieved themselves of a big contract as well that they would have had to pay for a worse player, which helps.
  12. jimmer
    I don't believe for a second it would have taken Sano (and what he just got traded for seems to back that up) and losing Gibson doesn't give me even a seconds pause.
  13. jimmer
    I'd refer back to the quote and also say that the defensive improvement also helps the pitching.
  14. jimmer
    He would have? The Rockies just traded him and Hawkins, took on Toronto's salary dump and still didn't get a prospect like Berrios OR a MLB pitcher like Gibson. If we didn't throw a salary dump or ask for Hawkins, you think he STILL costs Berrios plus a bunch more? And depending on what more it would have taken, it's still a good trade for us.

    'While I’m sure there will be plenty of people arguing that the Blue Jays should have taken the path of least resistance and upgraded the pitching staff instead, the reality in baseball is that a run is a run is a run. You win games by outscoring your opponents, and you don’t get any less credit for winning 7-5 than you do 5-3. Troy Tulowitzki will help the Blue Jays score more runs, so while he’s not going to help the team’s run prevention improve that much, those runs he creates will still count in the final tally.'-Dave Cameron from the story linked above. And, you know, he's a guy that will help not just for this year but more to come.
  16. jimmer
    which is why getting Tulo would have been such a good move.
  17. jimmer
    I'd bet he will. He'll be 35 at the end of his contract unless Toronto makes the playoffs in his last year of the contract. He won't be 40. He will, for sure, be a shortstop in 2017 and still an average- good defensive one too.
  18. jimmer
    The most likely is invisible option #3 that says they don't make the playoffs at all because they've overplayed their talent and are coming back down Earth.
  19. jimmer
    Dave Cameron's take on the trade: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/troy-tulowitzki-the-blue-jays-and-upgrading-strengths/
  20. jimmer
    How do we know we will be more posited for a run next year? That's an assumption I certainly wouldn't bet on as I look at where this team is at. With our ridiculous May run, we may have a better shot making the playoffs this year than next, as KC will still be rocking, the Tigers will reload and have Miggy back, and the Indians will still have the talent that is under-performing but likely won't again. It's always a good idea to get quality players when you can. Quality players are assets for the current and as pieces to move for prospects later..
  21. jimmer
    IF?
  22. jimmer
    They will eat some money they were going to have to anyway if they had just traded Tulo and not gotten Reyes back in a better prospect deal. But they'll get the prospects. They are rebuilding. They should trade Cargo too.
  23. jimmer
    Imagine how hard it's going to be to get a ball past the left side of Toronto's infield? Slightly easier than getting one past Colorado's infield just a day ago :-)
  24. jimmer
    If they flip Reyes for prospects, which they very iikely will, then they basically traded Tulo and Hawkins for the prospects they got from Toronto in this trade AND the prospects they'd get from Reyes. It really isn't that bad at all, IF they can flip Reyes for some quality prospects. Looking at this trade, still tells me if the Rockies had just trade Tulo for better prospects and a young ML pitcher, they would have eaten some money.
  25. jimmer
    I think the Cubs would be thrilled to be rid of Starlin's contract and likely wouldn't cost much of anything in the way of prospects
