I meant capital in general. His even 15 mil, is cheaper than the prospect capital it would take to acquire Cease value wise.
-
They aren't counting on him to lead the staff. He pitched better than Cease last year. Not that I expect that this year but he will be far cheaper.
-
He is actually a decent option if he pitches like he did last year. Not the quality of Cease but much more affordable.
-
Not sure if that would be an upgrade based on what we've seen.
-
Chapman would not have been much of an upgrade if at all.
-
The options are dwindling. Especially the affordable ones.
-
Agreed. He will not handle the NY media work fans well.
-
Looks like Getz will need to settle for a couple of hiiters from Baltimore or take a chance at the trade deadline. It will be interesting to see how he plays this.
-
Which is why nothing has been done yet and won't be for awhile. If he can't get what he wants, he will wait for the best package.
-
It will suck for Orioles fans if they don't get some type of significant upgrade in pitching. They are really close to that WS.
-
I know. But that's also why nothing has been done yet. All apart of the negotiations. It's a big mistake not to get pitching but if no one offers it, he can't get it.
-
In the scenarios you are proposing, who is a high end pitching prospect from the Orioles?
-
Who is the high end pitcher in these scenarios?
-
Because there weren't any real good options to add. They already had a player on the roster with closing experience.
-
As a group it looks like 2mil savings over projected cost.
-
It is but not a good one. As we've seen.
-
It's not a steal if Ferris does indeed become the top pitching prospect in the dodgers organization.
-
I think it's the same as our discussion about this year's pick. Fields can be good. But anyone valued as a top 2 pick in the draft is going to have the chance to be an elite player.
-
I can't see how anyone would grade fields above stroud. They chose the draft pick capital and Moore over stroud/young. For their situation they needed the capital. Different situation this year.
-
Agreed.
-
So to get good value they need to trade him with 2years left on his deal. They have him for 2 more years.
-
He answered it the proper way the third time it was asked Essentially, we like where we are at with the addition of Moore, Wright and all the other picks we acquired.
-
When is his current contract up? Does he need to be traded after this year or next?
-
No it's not. They had a pretty high payroll to begin with and they had no idea when he was going to return.
-
Why are you assuming there is instability or that Eberflus is a lame duck coach. Doesn't he have 2 more years on his contract?
