catalinacaper Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Zobrist just knows how unique of a market he's in right now considering his age and the fact that he doesn't have a true position. He has so much leverage, he can hold out for the team that's most desperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTacoMunster Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 ugh, David Ortiz is retiring after this coming season, and luckily they are playing Atlanta (which is close to me), anyone here have season tickets to the braves that would maybe sell me a game? PM me if so, thanks dudes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacredheart Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 If the previous Sox staff were all Aces last year, what does that make Price this year? Also, rumor is Greinke is about to finalize his deal and it will be bigger than Price's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3arl Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 How many of Price's years will he still be pitching like an ace? I'd bet on 2 great seasons, 2 good seasons, and 3 where his contract looks like an albatross. Good for him on getting paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet on 2 great seasons, 2 good seasons, and 3 where his contract looks like an albatross. Good for him on getting paid. Think you are projecting him to fall off a little quicker than he really will. From an athletic standpoint, players peak around 27. From a WAR standpoint, it's about 30 (meaning that factors like experience can be more important than just physical ability). The big dropoff really starts around 35. I'd guess 4 great seasons (I'll say ERA under 3.3), 2 good ones (ERA under 3.8), and 1 bad (ERA up in the 4s). I think that 6'6" frame will help him hold up longer as well. Look at the guys who somewhat recently were able to throw pretty hard late in their career -- Ryan, Johnson, Clemens, Smoltz, Schilling, Carleton. All of them were at least 6'2" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingTacoMunster Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Cannot believe Boston blew 217 mil on price. We'll get about 3 good seasons out of him and that's it. And we're already shopping Hanley. Hopefully I don't have to watch him pitch when I see the Sox play the Braves in April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 The Hanley deal looked like a disaster from a mile away -- inconsistent offense, consistently bad defense, bad attitude, injury prone. Price, on the other hand, just delivers consistent results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTacoMunster Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 for now, Price wont for 7 years though. We let lester slip away and then throw stupid money at price. crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Oh god where's Ry run and hide everyone known fan expected to have *reaction except i don't. i don't like the guy, mostly based on past allegiances/rivalries, and what i've seen in the post season. but he's also supposed to be the ultimate clubhouse guy, which.. cool? aside from "lol chkn n burr" that hasn't really been an issue. i'm mostly just hoping he's the first of 2 big signings. if you're going to be serious about your pitching staff and getting ortiz another ring on his way out, then just go all in.

thejesseb Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Im really hoping the Mets can pull in at least one quality bat. Zobrist would be great but he is looking to get paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3arl Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Im really hoping the Mets can pull in at least one quality bat. Zobrist would be great but he is looking to get paid. Zobrist is a good player but he's 34. Whoever meets his asking price is going to be overpaying. There are much better bats on the market. His biggest strength is his versatility, anyway.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Price has an opt out after 3 years, like sabathia and grienke, so you can bet he will opt out for another contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
