Blackout Friday

“Can’t we sign a starter who is always healthy and good for next to nothing?!” come on

I don’t understand what’s so hard to understand. You pay him accordingly. If he wasn’t hurt all the time he’d make bank...

Sorry fellas not sure what I did wrong here.

The difference is piazza hit the snot out of the ball. And grandal is a good catcher. It’s a bad comp by a bad evaluator or talent.

Wouldn’t be shocked if he renegotiated his contract at some point.

I find it fascinating how many people want to make bad trades.

On the plus side, we can have Gary Bobby tuxedo t-shirt night.

Is this our first Aussie player?

Kind of surprised he didn’t get more.

Grandal reminds me of Catcher version of Alexei. He’s really good at it, but he makes it hard to tell sometimes. His biggest issue, in my opinion, is he doesn’t have a natural feel for pitch selection/reading the hitter. Not a small thing, but also easy to work around.

“Dram up upside” was meant to be “dream on upside”

I call dibs on devito

It isn’t you. The way it’s described is misleading. The typical way to describe a contract is MaxYears/MaxMoney, but this contract is unique and general talk about it has been confusing and misleading. I like the deal. It’s basically the Will Smith deal with an innovative compromise for a “4th year” love or hate Hahn, he is good with contract structure.
