Baron Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) 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.

Con te Giolito Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 De Leon has shoulder problems... risky move by Rays. Dodgers clearly don't believe much in JDL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I think De Leon is going to be a number 4 starter when it's all said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Maybe Hahn can take advantage and offer Robertson + cash for Willie Calhoun. He's got nowhere to play for the next couple years now.

JMHO but a solid 2B is nothing compared to DeLeon's potential. I'm sure they tried to get more than 1-1 but that was the deal they could make. So i don't think they could have gotten more. It's a steal for the Rays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

GreenSox Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
