LittleHurt05 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 23, 2012 -> 07:34 AM) FWIW, this is the guy who an hour before the deadline said the Darvish deal was NOT getting done. Yeah, i have yet to see reports of a Fielder signing anywhere else. Heyman just tweeted that there appears to be a final field of 4 teams in the running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 23, 2012 -> 09:38 AM) Buster_ESPN Buster Olney Worst 3 starting pitcher on BABIP in 2011 (batting average on balls in play): Ricky Nolasco (.325), Derek Lowe (.318), Edwin Jackson (.317). First of all, baseball-reference shows Jackson having a .338 babip last year, so I have no idea where that number comes from. Secondly, his career mark is .314, and there's an outlier in the ".278" he put up in Detroit that seems to stand out as well, so if one were to project a babip for him, .317 might not be a bad estimate, depending on what park he winds up in.

southsider2k5 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 http://jon-heyman.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/...714192/34519023 The Giants are talking to franchise pitchers Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain about multiyear deals, but while there are early indications they'll have a decent or better chance to lock up Cain into his free-agent years, the team seems to be focusing on deals of two years or one with Lincecum after he rebuffed an offer of at least $100 million for five years. Giants people are saying only that talks are "ongoing'' with Cain, but there is said to be a fair amount of optimism they can keep Cain on a longterm deal for under $20 million a year. Cain already took one long team-friendly deal, but Lincecum, who has so far gone year to year, seems more likely to wind up with a two-year deal now rather than sign a contract into his free-agent years. Cain along with Cole Hamels has been seen as one of the two pitching gems of the 2012-13 free agent class, and while teams are salivating at the thought of having a shot at Cain, people familiar with the talks see him staying in San Francisco. Meanwhile, the Giants appear to be tens of millions apart on a long deal with Lincecum after he rebuffed their offer for five years and nine figures and he countered much higher than that. It is thought Lincecum seeks a deal for seven or eight years but would be content to do a one- or two-year contract if no megadeal can be accomplished now. The Giants offered Lincecum $40 million on a two-year deal, and the sides logically could wind up in the low 40s after Lincecum requested an arbitration record $21.5 million for a non free agent and the Giants countered at $17 million for 2012. Baseball people believe Cain might be able to match Cliff Lee's $120-million as a free agent if he tested the market after the year, but word is that he badly wants to stay in San Francisco. Additionally, industry experts suggest that if Lincecum could put together two more years like his first four that two years from now as a free agent he could possibly become the game's first $200-million pitcher.
