Hunter is an old piece of shit, but I was saying this earlier on and was laughed at. The guy can still produce. I do think he is the type that is still going to want to play in the field every day though.

Is Hamilton really that bad of a fielder? Fangraphs has him at -12.6 and Hunter as +10.4. Hamilton's wOBA is better, it's just that fielding score that's killing his WAR.

By that standard, Bill Buckner was the worst fielding first baseman of all time.

Dickey is giving the Mets the biggest fucking hometown discount ever.
Why the hell would he do the same thing for any other team?
Mets want to treat him like he's worth Joe Blanton money while trying to trade him like he's Zack Greinke.

He wouldn't (and I wouldn't), but the way I read that is that he wouldn't even discuss an extension.

Supposedly the Braves have contacted the Angels about Mark Trumbo.
But we already have Dan Uggla...
Ehh trumbo? If he ever learned to take a walk he would be godly but i wouldn't be willing to trade for him and wait for him to do that considering he has never shown any patience in the minors or majors. He is basically a francouer with power, which is valuable but the angels would probably ask far too much for him and he is almost arb eligible, and those arbitration panels love HRs.
Also the angels would probably only want pitching that could help them this year.

Mark Trumbo is like Dan Uggla without the extra medium shirts.
This is just fantastic.

We like Dickey! Unless its a good package.
We should signed and dealt Youkilis. He had the best package.

It's going to be another multiplayer deal from both sides, I'm guessing.

Really believe Toronto is strong frontrunner, but can report Texas has indicated will trade Olt and RHP Cody Buckel for Dickey.
he ain't gonna end up in toronto brahs.

R.A. Dickey about to be a Blue Jay. Anthony Gose and J.P. Arencibia believed to be going to the Mets.

Dickey has stated he will not talk extensions with the Blue Jays or any other team.
with that package, you can bet you your bottom dollar that there will be an extension. if you know what I mean.

Why? It's highway robbery for the Jays either way.
I can't think of a player more overrated in all of baseball than Arencibia.
27 year old with a career .275 OBP. Was also top 3 in MLB in passed balls in the last 2 years and allowed 87 stolen bases even though he only started 91 games.
Dude is a fucking scrub.
Dick jokes!
Best catcher available on the trade market, 1.4 rWAR in 102 games last year & 4 more years of control. Not that I'm incredibly enamoured with JP, it's just that there is a decent amount of value there, cause you know, in general, catcher are kinda awful.
Plus the 6 years of control you're getting for the club's #2 prospect. All for one year of Dickey? That's hefty.

So if the Dickey trade goes through, are the Blue Jays the favorite for the division?

It's up for grabs, but considering their shit luck the last couple of years, i doubt it. They might get the wildcard though

I honestly cant see AA giving up both for a 1 year rental, it just doesnt make sense with every move they have made. Unless he is thinking you bring him here, treat him to some Canadian hospitality and he falls in love to the tune of 2y/26 million during the year... but with Johnson almost guaranteed to not come back next year without a massive payday, you are right back at square one next year.
That's a terrible package.
Arencibia is terrible. If he accepts that Alderson has failed.
