I did predict JJ to go to the Giants. With Hudson signing there, I don't know, maybe they'll take 2 (or 3 including Lincecum) gambles in their rotation.

Roy Oswalt may be a good 1 year signing. Veteran pitcher, with good peripherals. Velocity hasn't dropped off much. xFIP and SIERA both sub-3.50 each of the past two years where he "struggled." Crazy to think he's just 36. Could be a Bartolo Colon type signing....minus the steroids and obesity.

Ya he was the player I was most excited about in that trade. And we all know what happened.
I am not sure SF would take a flyer on 2 oft injured pitchers?

Sure hope he doesnt re-surface in the AL east
If he pitched like he did last year, I hope he does.
Seriously. Coming off a season in which he started 31 Games, had an ERA of 3.81, WAR of 3.5 among other solid states. Who would ever think he performed as brutally as he did. Start 19 games with an ERA of 6.20. He got injured after pitching four games (one with 1 and 1/3 innings) and on top of that he had three games with less then 3 Innings Pitched where he gave up more then 5 Earned Runs.
He's probably embarrassed by that season, especially when he used to be spoken of as a potential ace.

If your Josh Johnson why would you sign with the Jays? He will sign with some NL team that has a massive park in hopes to put up a great season next year and regain his market value.
Rogers Center is one of the very worst ballparks for a pitcher to pitch in.
Small park. Ball flys well. Fast turf.
There is a difference between what he wants and what he will get. Yanks want to give him 200 M$ over 8 years they'll probably end up giving him more money on the 8 year term (240-250 M$).

Id give Cano 310 mil without batting an eye
Then again I don't own a billion dollar communications company
Nasty Nazem
Come at me Crow!
Wanting and getting it is two very different things. Doubt Cano will get anywhere near that.

It would be insanely stupid to give him that much money at his age no matter how much money you own.

Yeah I am with you.
He's got about 3-5 years left of too level production at 2b. Once he loses a step or two he'll likely have to shift to 1st or DH at some point during the course of the contract.
Impossible to justify paying the guy 25-30 mil playing those positions and not producing like he used to. The Yankees are going to pony up and we all know it. And in 8 years they'll be attending a grievance hearing for poor treatment of a player with the motive of getting his contract off the books.
Deja vu?
that would be a bad business decision and explains why you dont run a billion dollar company.
