Give me something else to do with my money... If you set it up like that, 490k the next 3 years.Who is trying to sign a guy to a minor-league deal with a $9,000,000 signing bonus?
COVID-19 cost cuttingWhy no offseason meetings?
No the RHH 1B. I have no idea how he slipped through the cracks last off-season. That RP is creeping closer to 9m.Who is getting that offer, the 80/40/40 reliever?

I am triggered I missed out on him. I'm probably going to have 2 two-way players on my roster this year. Chance of 3 with YOUR BOY Vo. My first pick was a two-way guy too.Dunno, but at 29, I think Rob Burton can still make it to the all-star game as an SP. His only measurable sample size of stats are 2087 where he pitched 37 innings with an ERA of 1.69, WHIP of 1.04, with 1.2 WARS won.

I think there are ways to use them if they platoon and have another ELITE skill. I.e. Vo seems like a good enough RP but could be a defensive replacement at multiple positions. Ohayshi/Yoshida both can be PH/PRs. I could have a 14-man pitching staff AND 15 position players.
It's a reaction to the new FA market too. I've non-tendered/let good players walk because it used to be you'd sign them cheaper. Now I think teams are holding onto guys with big extensions or exercising TOs more. So the FA pool is not as good so the few good FA's are being bid up.The only change was that people can't spend $5M every other year and yet the money printers go brrrr
I dont know what CF looks like across the league, but he might be a glove wizard there with a bat that wont hurt you. The fact he can play every position on the field at glove wizard level is useful, but only if he bat is decent.
I was hoping this guy would be that type of player, but his OBP never got to the level i hoped it would.
I drafted like 4 amazing CFers 8 years ago and all of them are now out of the league or only barely able to play LFYeah he's only 24 and with 75 OF Range. He should improve his CF rating.
The other side of the coin is CFers seem to peak at a younger age. Especially high contact/high speed guys.
Yeah I've had a ton of guys over the years who were gr8 in CF (solid glove, good bat) until like 24-25 then they had to slide to a corner. Dan Kirkpatrick is one. Tamburrino went from MVP at 23 as a CF to out of the league at 29.I drafted like 4 amazing CFers 8 years ago and all of them are now out of the league or only barely able to play LF

I thought the Korean guy I sent you Hong had a chance to be serviceable in CF. Kinda still does as strictly v RHP. But his defense hasn't been as ELITE as I thought it'd be.I've had no luck with anyone in CF who could hit. Now I just draft the best glove available who doesn't have a 40 for contact.

I’ve had pretty good luck with shortstops and catchers. Not quite as much with centerfielders.
