The relative value issue is a matter of opinion at this time that only the future will settle. But I think we can all agree that it was a horrible trade.

It's not just sabermetric sites.

A Tale of Two Pitchers
Pitcher A and Pitcher B are the same age and pitch for the same team. Over the last three years Pitcher A averaged 195IP, a 3.32 ERA, a 3.23 FIP, a 3.47 xFIP and was worth 13.3 WAR. Over the last three years Pitcher B averaged 198IP, a 3.69 ERA, a 3.38 FIP, a 3.36 xFIP and was worth 13.6 WAR. Pitcher A was traded for a starting pitcher prospect, a middle reliever and a utility infielder. None are considered to be better than mediocre. Pitcher B was kept and offered a six-year extension worth $144 million dollars. Pitcher A is Doug Fister. Pitcher B is Max Scherzer. Please explain how this makes any sense.

Fair enough, it was a stupid trade and yesterday, that was a stupid contract.

Giving long-term contracts like that to aging players is just ignorant.

It's like the Tigers never noticed the Pujols contract even existed - Pujols was at least as good as Cabrera when he signed. I'd have let him walk at 33, it is painful, but you can use that money in much better ways on two or three excellent (and younger) players

Back on topic, who's the worst long-term team in OOTP15? I mean, mediocre to bad now, not many prospects, maybe some bad contracts, etc. I played Houston in OOTP14 but they have too many good prospects already for my money (Correa, Singleton, Appel, Springer, DeShields, etc.) plus they're paying everyone peanuts. Who's the biggest, say, 10-year challenge in OOTP15?

I've been astonished at the amount of sleeper interest in the Marlins this year. Joe Sheehan, Albert Chen and Dave Schoenfield seems interested too. I don't see it at all.

I dunno. I think some of Miami's pitching prospects will be more highly rated in OOTP15. Their position prospects are probably slightly worse in OOTP15, but they're also closer to the majors (some already reached the majors) and thus have a higher floor. Stanton is probably worse in OOTP15 than 14, as he might now be "Fragile" and have a lower contact rating. But still. Stanton, man. Stanton. If a few of the veterans the Marlins signed this offseason do well as you approach the trade deadline, you can probably trade them for more decent prospects as well.
In the hands of Jeffrey Loria, I don't have high hopes for the Marlins' future. But in the hands of an OOTP player who is seriously trying to win, I think it could go quite well, and only take two or three years. I think the worst team/organization will be the Brewers. Farm system is barren, Braun is over 30. They're a team with a rapidly-closing window and little help in sight. |

Gomez is one of the most valuable players in baseball - he's arguably the best defensive outfielder in the game, even if he only gets on base at a .320 clip, he's still hitting 20 home runs a year. He's arguably the best stolen base threat in baseball outside of Hamilton too - last four years he's averaging 38 steals per 162 at an 84% success rate. And he's at his peak at 28. Lucroy is one of the best 3-4 catchers in baseball and is 27. Juan Segura just posted a WAR over 3 at 24. Khris Davis has exciting potential. Plenty of possibilities here Last edited by clwalcott; 03-28-2014 at 10:53 PM. |

White Sox? Indians? Cleveland is a smaller market, right?
