Is Wieters Worth $100 Million?

[Ommaculate]

I quess Buck was wrong. Matt Wieters WON"T be starting for the Yankees in 2016.

He still could. They could move McCann to a different position or DH by then.

[Tx Oriole]

Add Brian McCann to the hate list.

Why? Let that contract screw the Yankees. I think it will later.

Man. It gets worse.

Five years approximately 80 million.

Does anyone think the Orioles would make such an offer to Wieters.....and would he accept it?

No contract has ever screwed the Yankees. They simply don't care.

Well, Boras had said not. I am not sure that we have not offered him more than that.

I don't pretend to know enough about how they judge Catcher defense to answer that question.

I wasn't trying to correct you I was just showing that the metrics were inconsistent in their findings.

I think he clearly wasn't as good as in 2011-2012 but I don't think you call him below average without giving weight to some questionable stuff like CERA and Pitch Framing analysis.

I didn't take offense, I just thought you might know. I'm confounded by all the defensive metrics at times. Whatever helps bring clarity to the matter. When I read what FRAA was I thought it made sense.

That said, I'd like to see at least two reporting agencies have a somewhat similar number.

Ok it is 6/100 now.

It's done.

[Dark Helmet]

Beltran and Tanaka to follow. Meanwhile DD is pondering Roberts and Mclouth. This is just the start of another disappointing winter.

You mean like the Arod deal has screwed them? Nothing hurts the Yankees. Onnlce MLB lets them off the hook of Arod it will only get worse.

Full No Trade Clause.

Eh, unlike McPhail (who looking back got us some good players for our current team), I trust DD to strike when the time is right. He has made deals at the deadlines, some good and some bad, and made splashes when necessary. If we do not get Beltran and Tanaka, it will not be because DD is worried about Roberts and McClouth.

This won't be like when we took a month to finalize Conine's deal and didn't do anything else.

Yup. It really is getting sad. Every off-season the exact same thing happens.

Not as recently as 2011, when we got Reynolds, Hardy, Lee, Vlad, etc. Not saying that was the best off-season (besides Hardy and maybe Reynolds) but we have had active offseasons in the past.
