Buehrle>Wood Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Seeing a big market over correction for non-closers. Dukes contract isn't completely horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 So, he didn't have a good year, but he did get paid 4.5 mill last year. That said...yes, this market is nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shysocks Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Of 160 relievers who threw 40 or more innings last season, Motte had the 11th highest fly ball rate. That'll play well in Denver. Teams watched the Mets blow a few games in the World Series and now the relief market has ticked up. #TradeRobertson?

Dick Allen Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 They are basically paying him a little over $100k per inning pitched. Jason Motte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 10:11 AM) They are basically paying him a little over $100k per inning pitched. Jason Motte. That is less than the going rate that David Price and Zach Greinke got. They will be closer to $150k/IP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Motte was actually pretty decent for the Cubs so I'm glad that he's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I was thinking about this earlier; do the Rockies have to overpay pitchers to get them to come pitch in that awful pitchers park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Another example that shows baseball is swimming in cash. That's how he can get 10 million. Any owner who cries "poor" is lying through their teeth. Don't blame the players for taking the money, careers are short...they can't play for 40 years.
