Now that makes a lot more sense.<br /><br />Still, would it be worth it right now to target a guy like Darvish via trade?Nomadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-11553822732943797382014-08-20T08:24:45.380-04:002014-08-20T08:24:45.380-04:00"Really, really, really intriguing to see O&#..."Really, really, really intriguing to see O's somehow get Darvish. I can't fathom how we gave Ubaldo a contract that remotely resembles the one the Rangers gave Darvish...one is an ace, the other is barely a 4th/5th starter. How the hell do things like this happen?"<br /><br />For starters, the Rangers did pay his Japanese team about $50 million to negotiate with him. The Rangers really paid $106 million for 5 years with $56 million going to Darvish and $50 million going to his team.<br /><br />When the Rangers signed Darvish he had only pitched in Japan. It wasn't clear how his performance would translate to the majors. IF it wasn't a risk then Darvish would have received probably another $50 million. Jimenez has started in the majors and was proven.Matt Perezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191574755038653061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-64791531784503571642014-08-20T07:28:45.676-04:002014-08-20T07:28:45.676-04:00The club signs players to "do something"...The club signs players to "do something" to appease fans who demand that the club "do something."Eriknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-53376483124387893692014-08-19T16:25:38.006-04:002014-08-19T16:25:38.006-04:00Joe - Apparrently, 2 hours is not enough sleep.

Paredes was eligible for a fourth option year this year because his first year in full-season ball was 2010; hence 2014 is his fifth season of full-season ball. <br /><br />Second, there appears to be an oversight in the outfielders section. Nolan Reimold in now in the Blue Jays organization; Delmon Young and Henry Urrutia are missing from the chart.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18347209822215185644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-64657575272101862062014-08-19T16:06:58.543-04:002014-08-19T16:06:58.543-04:00I would have thought Weeks was optioned this year,...I would have thought Weeks was optioned this year, given he spent time in Baltimore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-77527242410340182862014-08-19T16:04:31.518-04:002014-08-19T16:04:31.518-04:00What does the P indicate in the options grid?What does the P indicate in the options grid?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893512317902577458.post-78660614237609568092014-08-19T15:48:20.768-04:002014-08-19T15:48:20.768-04:00According to Baseball America:
