good, we signed our starting dh lol
Jeff Weissbuch
Is this guy worth 2.2 million

As long as he gets on base as much as he did the past couple of seasons, then he’s worth that amount. Against rhp, he’s easily among the top ten in OBP around the league, which is pretty valuable on a team with many home run hitters.

Yep. Don’t be fooled by the lack of power, the guy’s incredibly legit against RHPs

Meh. Jaso is just another walk-trawler with zero power. His true value to the A’s is versatility. Jaso can catch, play 1B ad be the occasional DH. That’s value. His OPS and slugging percentage are below average, but he’ll get the timely hit and clog the bases with the walks.
Daric Barton is a very similar player, who has made a AAAA career out of taking close pitches. With true power hitters/producers like Donaldson, Moss, Cespedes, Reddick and Lowrie on board, Jaso is a nice complimentary piece.

Random question but what does the 2nd ‘M’ in 2.3MM stand for?
DieHardMsFan
Million is derived from a Latin word (forgot the actual word) that means thousand. So therefor the abbreviation MM is used as it signifies thousands of thousands (1000×1000) which equals a million. Hope that explains it 😛

Cool thanks! Hey, arbitration and minor league signings are slightly more exciting than a root canal, let’s have some major free agent signings up in here!

I’m afraid it will be around another week as Tanaka has to sign by next Friday (I believe) and than the Garza/Santana/Jimenez trio can finally all land a deal (hopefully one of them with my M’s. That is unless ownership ponies up and signs Tanaka!)

Down vote…nice.

I’m just going to assume that your username is in reference to your post and not baseball. You just really like ‘M’s and explaining their meaning.

….and I would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn’t for you meddling posters.

Matt Swartz is the Nate Silver of baseball arbitration.

Did the projection system correctly predict, or will teams now just try to use a system to figure out the point, and they will just agree there.

Cervelli is signed, we are officially world series bound.

Travis Snider is really not good. Too bad really. I used to like him a lot.
Will 14
I feel like he needs a lot of reps in Spring Training to get rolling; that swing is awkward but that right-center gap power is nice. Gotta like the guy’s effort in RF. Can he play any 1B? Where’s Brandon Moss now?

I was initially disappointed that Travis Snider was traded to the Pirates. I thought he really had superstar potential. Would love to see the damage he would do if he put it all together!
