Is Wieters hurt?

[wildcard]

Before the game Buck said he was giving Wieters a 2nd day off because they talked to Matt and thought it would be benefical.

After the game Buck said he couldn't run for Caleb in the 10th. "Couldn't" implies that Wieters could not catch today.

The question is ---- Is Wieters hurt?

Sore arm?

If he continues to stink you have to wonder what will happen this off season. Is he really going to get a large contract from someone (including the pick)?

[Can_of_corn]

I think he is still battling the effects of the TJ surgery. Probably harder to recover from exertion.

I read a study showing position players' offense suffered a noticeable dip in the first year back.

Wieters' injury and lack of production are costing himself some serious money. I've got to say that, while I wouldn't wish injury on anybody, I do hope this makes a difference in arbitration eligible players and their willingness to get some guaranteed money. It can definitely happen. Are you listening Tillman, Schoop, and Machado?

Would you really want to sign Tillman long term?

I think he'll accept a QO and try to rebuild his value w a healthy year.

Depending on what's going on around that, I might be ok w that scenario.

I would definitely sign him to a Wakefield deal. That is, an indefinite series of $4M team options.

Sure. He doesn't seem likely to take something like that though.

No one is likely to do that. That was probably the most team-friendly contract since the abolition of the reserve clause.

[DrungoHazewood]

LOL, he is clearly worth more than that.

Of course. I just poke at open-ended questions. "Would you sign him long term?" That depends. What are the risks with a long term contract? Being committed to someone who's not producing. How to mitigate that? With terms and conditions that the player would find offensive!

With Matt unable to play regularly and Chen doing his Bud Norris imitation of late, Davis may be the only QO candidate left by the time the season ends.

No, I think you still stick all three of them with QOs. Boras' ego is definitely our friend here. Wieters would have to have a total collapse, maybe even be physically unable to perform, before Boras would even consider taking a QO. And there's almost no performance that would force him to do that with Chen.

And then we sign them both in late March. Hot diggety!

Chen's contract says the O's can't give him a QO, right?
