EDIT: there was a bug in the first spreadsheet summing up previous AAV, this latest version is corrected. I was getting annoyed having to go across multiple sites to remember the post-salary arbitration budgets and where we were at, so I put together this google sheet where you can "build" your 2020 team and it will keep track of your budget on the Salary Totals page. Steps: - Click link to copy Google Sheet into your account https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1S_GkRq9r-NZaYnyAKsUfEFEg0Lm3BGzF1B5qUVxa-iY/copy - Pick the players you are going to tender/non-tender - Select Free Agents to sign (Note that I have pre-filled 2020 salaries for all of them, which gets summed into your salary thread). This also came from SPOTRAC and I noticed some weird omissions so please alert me to any missing ones. - Trade builder is also available with a select number of players - Salary Totals gives your 2020 team salary Go ahead and try it out and let me know what you think! Hopefully this helps cut down on the work. I tried to make a "roster" tab that would fill the FAs into the depth chart but that was too hard. NOTE: I'd really like to crowdsource the free agent salaries. THis table came from spotrac, where their Market Value metric was available I used it. But Starting pitching and relief pitching was quite hard, so I'd love to tease those out for any enterprising poster who wants to add theirs and we can average them. PM me if anyone does it.

I was the lucky boy who won in all my leagues despite performing terribly in not starting T Hill or T McLauren. Thank you Hunter Henry and Lamar Jackson

Now do the yankees

If Adam Engel can sustain his 103 wRC+ that drive his WAR from September the he’s a very good player. Theres a reason we don’t believe you can just double his WAR.

Point is I’d rather fix the positions or fix the pitching. I don’t want ozuna type players in RF just because they are available. Give me real fixes or give me average players, don’t give me 10% above average players for next 4 years. worst thing would be Sox getting shocked when their incredible market valuations are wrong on wheeler and then spending that amount on Odorizzi

Say we do Grandal/JDM. Trade Collins (assuming Abreu is assured)

Fully on board with this strategy. Especially loading up on “more” than we need for pitchers.

That’s why RF would be good move for him. We aren’t talking about a long term fixture. Everyone here has a favorite average player they want as a fill in for RF this year. JBJ would be relatively cheap, has upside, he bats left, he walks 10% of the time and had a worse year for contact but I think his profile does show 90 wRC+ as a stable production with possibility of a nice year for better babip luck. hes also a good vet, smart and would be nice to have as a mentor in the outfield. for $10 mill for a year? I’ll take it while we make sure we get plus bats elsewhere. id rather get two 130 wRC+ bats and a 90 wRC bat then three 110 wRC + bats.

For the record I’d be a big fan of JBj in both trade or acquiring him as FA

Cano could be quite terrible for the remainder. If we took that in I’d want considerably more money back and I’d want to do it for conforto not Nimmo, who is nice but has way too many injury issues.

Well yeah but then trading dunning and Walker.

I’m sure he’ll find a yahoo article!

I always figured he'd go to yankees.

They also waited too long to trade him. Just terrible process but also awful approach to some very talented pitchers.

Availability bias.

I think both LARRR and I had chosen CC Sabathia from different data points.

So he started using his four seamer more and sinker less, and his sinker appeared unlucky this year. I think he’s still a 4.5 era pitcher at least.

There is zero point to acquiring josh reddick except the thrill of writing a name down. I'd rather acquire 1-2 of those guys who may actually make an impact than play the horsecrap "if just get 1 WAR from our RF that's a 4 WAR improvement!" game. He's turning 33. He's making 13 million. And we'd have to trade assets.

There actually is a lot of lower cost options I’d be interested in on the rotation. Mentioned it before but I think Porcello may be a good Coop pitcher. Also...I’d explore Kluber personally. They owe us a favor after Yondy.

Fox is faster than all of em

You guys really want to build a 77 win team.

Those tiers are crazy
