MLBTR Originals: 8/28/11 – 9/3/11

By Dan Mennella | September 4, 2011 at 6:00pm CDT

A look back at the originals pieces we published here at MLBTR last week …

  • Orioles center fielder Adam Jones is an extension candidate, according to Tim Dierkes.
  • How does Ricky Romero's extension look one year later? Ben Nicholson-Smith examines.
  • Jose Reyes' final month of the season is crucial to his foray into free agency, according to Ben.
  • Will Rangers lefty C.J. Wilson get a $100MM contract in free agency this offseason? Tim has a look.
  • It's never too soon to start looking ahead to next year's draft. We've reversed the standings to get an idea of where each time might be picking in June 2012.
  • Our GM Candidates series continued with Nats assistant GM Bryan Minniti, courtesy of Ben.
  • Our Arbitration Eligibles series continued with the AL East: the Toronto Blue Jays, the Tampa Bay Rays, and the New York Yankees.
  • The free-agent market will be flooded with relievers this offseason. Tim has a preliminary look at the closer carousel.
  • Tim conducted the weekly MLBTR chat. Here's the transcript.
  • If you're wondering which teams are interested in Yu Darvish, Ben compiled a list.
  • The latest Elias rankings update was released.
  • Mike Axisa rounded up some of the best pieces from around baseball's blogosphere. Among the hot topics: The Mariners, Adam Dunn, and the Giants.
  • Edwin Encarnacion has been en fuego for a couple months now. Will the Blue Jays exercise his 2012 option? Ben has a look.
  • Howard Megdal recalled 1993, the year that September trades mattered. Ben also looked at some notable September trades that have gone down in recent years.
  • Mike Axisa identified Rays outfielder Desmond Jennings as a potential extension candidate, as well.
  • Mark Polishuk looked at Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero as an extension candidate.

    I hate to bring this up but why do people talk about Adam Jones like he’s potentially a $100MM player and yet people talk about a comparable talent like Nick Swisher (very similar numbers) and nobody seems to be willing to give the guy more than 2 years/$16MM (hypothetically speaking)?

    This is why I think baseball is as much about perception as it is cold hard stats.
