QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 22, 2018 -> 01:19 PM) This. The Rays had 10 days to find a trade partner or he would become a free agent. He wasn't placed on waivers. Once he goes through the 7 (was just changed in last CBA) days, he can then be waived.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Feb 22, 2018 -> 12:54 PM) That means that all AL teams didn't claim him, right? He was designated for assignment, not waived.

QUOTE (Username @ Feb 22, 2018 -> 11:29 AM) We should also probably keep in mind that Machado might insist on playing SS, not 3B. That's his preference, and it's also conceivable that that becomes our biggest long-term need. If TA doesn't step it up then we'll need a long-term option there. And if he does, he's a valuable asset we could move or shift to another position. Money will speak louder than position. In fact I believe the reason he wanted to move back to SS is so that he could see himself as a SS instead of just at 3B.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 21, 2018 -> 01:43 PM) At this point, it's okay to take on salary for next year, but you don't want any contracts beyond that. Noah's isn't worth it. That was a contract that was pretty universally horrible the day it was signed.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Feb 21, 2018 -> 01:39 PM) You keep saying that, but I don't know why. He put up 2.2 fWAR last year and both Steamer and ZiPS project him at 2.5. A league average player is "roughly 2 WAR." Ok, maybe he's slightly above? He's within rounding error of a league average player. He does rank 16th in last years rankings of 3B by fWAR.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Feb 21, 2018 -> 01:09 PM) I like Donaldson but he turns 33 later this year. That's a guy without question that will be in serious decline within the 2020 (age 35 season) thru 2024 (age 39 season) contention window. Donaldson shouldn't be a thought.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Feb 21, 2018 -> 12:59 PM) Settling for league average players a year or two early is even worse. There are alternatives in the likely even we miss out on Machado. I'm still struggling to understand why so many people want to go with plan B (or C/D for that matter) before we even attempt plan A. Because Plan A has a minuscule chance of working.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Feb 21, 2018 -> 12:45 PM) I got to disagree with the majority of this post. Give me the star in Machado over a couple 2 WAR players. If we can't develop, sign, or trade for those guys when needed, the rebuild has been an abject failure. Money will not be an issue even with Machado in the fold, at least not for a few years. And as I just mentioned in the post above, if we're worried about being able to extend guys like Moncada & Jimenez six or seven years from now then we're going to make a ton of decisions that do not maximize our opportunity to win in the present. Trusting this to being able to outbid the rest of baseball on Machado is a terrible idea.

QUOTE (Quin @ Feb 21, 2018 -> 12:45 PM) Noah saga growing in NY. Felicio + for a Top 8 protected pick this year and Noah. That or their 2019 pick Is that a rumor, or an idea?

Doing the little things is going to become so much more important for last year and this years classes. Hopefully they are working hard to get players who might have been missed (aka late bloomers) and places like Venezuela where teams aren't willing to go as much anymore.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Feb 21, 2018 -> 02:38 AM) This is the part that confused me, because if you want to get a high fastball by somehow, you presumably want it to appear to rise, not drop. So the idea of 13 being amazing and 8 being bad didn't make sense to me. I wonder if maybe that number is measured from the exact 3D center of the strikezone? So 8 inches from the heart of the zone versus 13 inches? But then it's more of location of the pitch, not movement of it. I need some sort of graphical representation to learn this apparently. Talking in terms of physics, making a pitch rise is impossible. Really what is happening is that the pitch isn't falling, or isn't falling as much as the batters eyes tell it that it should be falling. There is a parabola that a batter expects. My guess is that a pitcher who has a hang time of 8 is what is "normal". A pitcher who has a hang time of 13 isn't seeing the same drop rate so batters are under their ball.

Micker is among the top offensive ceilings in the entire system. He just is young, and has lost a lot of time due to injury. He has a long way to get to that ceiling, but he also has made very big progress in 2017. If he keeps up the pace in 2018, he could well enter top 100 lists. He has huge power potential and Aaron Rowand compared his arm to Vlad Guerrero in RF.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Feb 21, 2018 -> 02:44 AM) I'll be real, real upset if we sign Moose and forfeit our 2nd RD pick to do so. That would be the 45th overall pick. We took Alec Hansen with the 49th overall pick in 2016. Would you be willing to give up Hansen in order to sign Moose? I sure as hell wouldn't. To be fair we also drafted Keenyn Walker 47th.
