You guys are out of your minds if you're OK with handing out $18.4 million for that. Carlos Rodon's fangraphs-calculated value in 132 innings in 2021: $39.1 million.

Carlos Rodon is far from being reliable, and especially not for $18 million. And so the answer is...to get neither? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 The Rockies are weird, that's for sure. Great news for me, and good for Bryant for getting paid. Crazy that he ended up ONLY getting 182 million when a couple years ago he was a guaranteed 300 million guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His numbers from a counting standpoint should be really good if he stays healthy there. He could have some monster seasons. 2. There is some actual upside to this deal potentially. I think there's obviously a lot of health risk and downside there, but if he can somehow reclaim his form or even 90% of it, he could be a great player on a terrible team.... and outperform the contracts value. which is the weird part.

I wonder if Kris is thinking more about his legacy as well as his wallet. He's got an MVP, ROY, multiple all stars and a WS ring under his belt. He puts up some monster numbers in the next few years there, he is likely a hall of famer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over his tenure as GM when we were the aggressor via trades they have been flat out awful.. Samardjiza, Kimbrel, Cesar, Shields, all come to mind. He has traded away players names Tatis Jr, Semien, Bassitt, Montas, Escobar. Other than Yaz and Hendriks I'd say our FA signings have been very poor. He did a heck of a job with the rebuild, however our Championship window is open and our signings to improve the club have consisted of an aging 2B, a utility player, a currently hurt reliever, and a pitcher who should be in AAA. As of now the plan looks to platoon 2 1st basemen in RF, our SP depth and star power is very shaky and we have star players who constintly get hurt (I know that's out of his control). I understand there is still some time to adjust the roster and for the better, but I am concerned. I understand our current payroll being the highest it's ever been, but that's a lot of Hahn's doing with very poor signings. I dont want to make excuses for RH but I suspect it's also important to keep in mind that he's gotten his wings clipped. I think awhile back Harold alluded to something that happened. And after that we see JR overruling him on TLR and then TLR being the main guy now he listens to. So RH has to deal with internal budgets set by JR and also he knows a piece of the pie needs to be set aside for TLRs reliever fetish, so that creates an additional strain on the available resources to address needs. He has made some dumb choices to be sure and everyone hates the condescending lawyer talk and seat at the table BS but when he was planning out the contention stage, and how the financial flexibility would be used I doubt he planned on having to deal with a rival power source (besides KW) thwarting his plans and JR siding with that rival. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
