agrudez wrote:Granados will definitely end up making more money. First he's a pitcher, and second he specializes in the "sexier" rating for a pitcher (stuff). Ray, on the other hand, doesn't specialize in the 'sexy' batter stuff (high CON or high POW) and instead relies on an overall nice bat (made better by his SHB split working out correctly, obviously) and defense. Overall, I can easily see Ray being the superior player due to the prime position he plays, though.
I think what worried me most about Ray and why I decided that I wasn't bullish enough on him to win any sort of bidding war, is that his contact potential had dropped to 5 and jumped back up to 6 when his current ability went up. So I'm a little worried that he is playing above his talent level and could easily become a below average bat, even for the position, before the end of this contract.

In the end, I knew there was a chance I may be willing to overspend for Granados, while I thought I may be too low on Ray to match the offer he ends up signing.

Are you an MBWBA owner not sure who to pick in the Rule 6 draft? Are you on a tight budget and want to avoid a bidding war? Are you in need of a veteran LOOGY? Perhaps a left handed swingman is what your looking for? Well today is your lucky day because boy do I have a deal for you....

For the low low cost of a late round Rule 6 pick, you can have the sometimes dependable, sometimes deplorable, but...always adorable Pat Mathews. Best of all, he won't cost you $68 mil in year one.

Haha - nice. That's an interesting side to all of this for the EBA. Pimp your older guys in the Rule 6 and then be able to get younger talent in the Rule 7!

Ron is still feeling the pain of catching up from his workshop from heck. :) Pedaling as fast as I can go. Also still trying to gather himself from the ugly performance of several YS9 guys we thought better of. But that's another story.

I'll decide once I see the breakdown of Ray's contract... If something happens and I don't get around to responding again, then I'll accept the offer.... but I want to see how the salary is spread out...

Shocker. You'll be paying Jaso about the same amount of money for the next 6 years that we'll be paying McPherson in 2026 alone.
