January 24, 20179 yr QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 23, 2017 -> 06:35 PM) TOR potential pitchers always trump second basemen. I'm not high on Jose De Leon at all. Forsythe is a really solid baseball player offensively and defensively with a 2018 option. I think they could have gotten more than the 1-1. Edited January 24, 20179 yr by Baron
January 24, 20179 yr De Leon has shoulder problems... risky move by Rays. Dodgers clearly don't believe much in JDL
January 24, 20179 yr Author QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 23, 2017 -> 06:42 PM) Logan Forsythe got the #33 prospect in baseball. It's things like this that put the requests for Q in perspective. Yep. Preach.
January 24, 20179 yr Forsythe had put up some pretty impressive war numbers when healthy...has that Maddon/TB positionally flexibility Friedman still apparently covets, and Kiki Hernandez was brutal last year in that role. Also seems like the Twins overplayed their hand. What do they do with Dozier now? They still can't compete with him, and won't pay him to forego free agency.

They'll deal Dozier at the deadline, just got to hope there are more suitors at that time.
January 24, 20179 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Jan 23, 2017 -> 06:58 PM) I think De Leon is going to be a number 4 starter when it's all said and done. Which isn't a bad thing to be honest.
January 24, 20179 yr The Dodgers weren't willing to give up more than De Leon for Dozier it was ridiculous
January 24, 20179 yr Somebody found a tweet from last October where Anderson called some beer throwing Cub fans "f***ing idiots".
January 24, 20179 yr Maybe Hahn can take advantage and offer Robertson + cash for Willie Calhoun. He's got nowhere to play for the next couple years now. Could offer Jones instead and expand to Calhoun+

So i don't think they could have gotten more. It's a steal for the Rays.

Dozier is unlikely to repeat, but he put up some unreal numbers in a pitcher's park. Once again, the defensive value is getting so much attention it's almost reverse Moneyball.
January 24, 20179 yr Logan Forsythe trade proves Dodgers are desperate for title https://www.yahoo.com/sports/news/logan-for...-033700953.html

Based on the numbers I can find, Target Field played as a top 10 hitters park in the league last year. http://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/parkfactor

January 25, 20179 yr Jon Heyman @JonHeyman 3m Rockies are making a big push for Greg Holland, and word is they are getting close to a deal

Washington could be forced to go to Robertson now. and maybe Colorado gets more serious about adding Q.
January 25, 20179 yr Jeff Passan @JeffPassan now Source: RP Greg Holland and the Colorado Rockies have agreed on a one-year deal with a vesting option for a second year, pending physical.
January 25, 20179 yr Buster OlneyVerified account @Buster_ESPN Following More Source: Indians closing in on an agreement with Austin Jackson. Would give them RHed hitting center fielder they've been looking for.

January 26, 20179 yr Indians will do some platooning. Ventura never was interested. Hopefully the Sox do it when they build the team back up. It's an efficient way to maximize value.
