When I see you posting in the N/V tread I hope that it's a Yadi extension. Stop toying with my heart.

Cards and Yadi are finalizing an extension right now! :snoop:

edit: 3 years, at least $55m.

YES

I was thinking 3 years, $54M was about fair, I'm fine with a minor overpay if it makes him what will hopefully be a Cardinal for life. Then again, 3 years would only take us to his age 37/38 season, if the WBC is any indicator the man's going to play more years than Bartolo.

I wouldn't bet on any catcher still being productive at age 38+
There have been 11 qualified seasons by a catcher aged 38+ of more than 2 bWAR, and 4 of them were Carlton Fisk (including the top 3). The odds are against him, to say the least.

To be fair even if Yadi's production falls of a loving cliff he'd be worth the money to just sit in the dugout calling games.

Who would win a hypothetical 5 game series starting next week between the Oklahoma City Dodgers and the San Diego Padres? For the sake of this dumb hypothetical, Urias is in OKC not extended spring.

OKC rotation: Julio Urias, Brock Stewart, Trevor Oaks, Josh Sborz, Chase De Jong
SDP rotation: Jhoulys Chacin, Clayton richard, Jered Weaver, Luis Perdomo, Trevor Cahil

OKC lineup (no particular order): Murphy, Davis, Calhoun, Talyor, Segedin, Bellinger, Verdugo, Thompson
SDP lineup: Myers, Solarte, Schimpf, Aybar, Hedges, Margot, Jankowski, Renfroe

I think the team with Daniel Murphy, Chris Davis and Kole Calhoun would probably win more baseball games.

People often forget the Dodgers have stashed 2016 MVP-runner-up Daniel Murphy in AAA this year.

Not being on a last-name-only familiarity level with random Dodgers org guys I assumed that Team A in this hypothetical was composed of players that people have heard of before.

# ? Mar 31, 2017 16:42

bawfuls: Oct 28, 2009

Bellinger, Verdugo, and Calhoun are top-100 prospects (with Bellinger being top-10). Thompson has a 115 wRC+ in 400 MLB PA and will probably spend most of this year in LA. Taylor and Segedin are MLB bench guys/depth, will spend the year going up and down. Murphy and Davis are org filler.

Urias, presumably everyone knows by now. The rest of the OKC rotation I listed are prospects of varying quality, with Stewart being the most MLB ready of the back 4.

I woke up at 2am to watch that. That was a fun time.

I watched it on my laptop at a McDonalds near where I worked, then fell asleep in a morning meeting and was fired on Opening Day. Not just because of the sleeping, but I imagine it didn't help.

A five game series? The answer is probably the Padres but this is baseball so maybe the dodgers? It's not really that interesting of a mind exercise.
