Infinit Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 That is just fucking nuts. Everyone involved in that new stadium deal needs to be thrown in jail. Corrupt politics and/or idiot politics (or both) at its finest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 On the actual baseball front, everyone and there mother got a QO today. The list so far. Heyward, Lackey, Gordon, Estrada, Samardzija, Fowler, Murphy, Wieters, Chen, Davis, Rasmus, Anderson, Greinke, Kendrick. And there will be more.

The Man Known as Dan Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Hey we finally have some decent name players who DIDN'T get QOs! Doug Fister and Denard Span are unrestricted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lucia Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Fister doesn't surprise me at all after the year he had, but Span? I think he'll end up doing very nice for himself this winter, probably something like 4/50. Pretty sure this is going to be the year where a player finally accepts the offer. With 20 players getting them including some middle of the road guys like Anderson, Estrada, Kennedy, and Murphy, it seems pretty likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grilledcheese Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Anyone take the QO this year? I figure Brett Anderson might be a good bet. Kendrick won't, he should catch on somewhere quite easily. Might be LA if Peraza isn't ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The city of Atlanta refused to compromise with Braves ownership to help revitalize what is a pretty bad area of town.

The "idiot politics" are taking place with Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed, not with Cobb Co., who saw a chance to raise the profile of their county.

Joe Lucia Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 The pitchers are in a good situation because of how strong the FA market is - plenty of teams need pitching, and those who strike out on the top tier guys could get desperate and back up the truck for the Anderson/Estrada guys. Same thing happened with Garza/Lohse/Ubaldo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grilledcheese Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Teams in smaller parks with good hands around the infield could do a lot worse than Anderson if he stays healthy. GB rate of 67% on balls in play. He turned out to be an excellent acquisition in a year that really needed a solid third guy in that rotation. I'm not sure that anyone would be chomping to throw 3 or 4 years at him, but I could see him getting 2 @ 30 or $32MM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
