2052-5 Rosas, Scott One Year Wonders

Rosas, Scott One Year Wonders

Two of the teams top 3 free agent signees last season, will be one and done in Calgary. Third baseman Alfredo Rosas and catcher Ben Scott will both be departing Calgary in free agency after the team didn’t offer either one of them extensions.

“With the salary cap, we would have handcuffed ourselves with multi year contracts,” GM Kevin Dickson said. “If we had known the cap was going to increase, maybe we would have gone in a different direction.”

Rosas was one of the Pioneers top hitters this years, with a .296 AVG, 24 HR and 87 RBIs. He didn’t have the year that Alfonso Trinidad had, the player he replaced, but he also cost half the salary. Rosas made $6 million this season and was asking to double that in an extension.

Scott finally gave the team a full time catcher, instead of the catcher by committee approach the team has used in recent year. Scott hit .282 with 21 HR and 81 RBIs. At the age of 31 Scott finally got the change to be a team’s everyday catcher and he turned in the best season of his career. Paid only $2.8 million this year, he was asking to nearly triple it next year.

The team is open to bringing both players back if they can sign them for a reasonable amount. Calgary has nobody in the system that can step into these positions at this level, so whether these two return or it is someone else, the Pioneers will be fishing in the free agent pond again next year.
