Jason Bay Released by Mets
http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index...with-jason-bay
I think he is worth at least a spring training invite to see if he still has any gas left. |

Re: Jason Bay Released by Mets
He would not be my first,second, or third choice but I'd keep my eye on him. SI.com had an article today about the surplus of OF in free agency. Quite a few above average, yet non all-star, OF on the market. Exactly what the Reds could hope for. I would love to know what Angel Pagan sought.

Re: Jason Bay Released by Mets
If Jeremy Hermida was worth signing to a minor league contract, Jason Bay definitely is.

Re: Jason Bay Released by Mets
I'd rather sign Jason Bay to a minor league contract than Jonny Gomes to a major league contract.

Re: Jason Bay Released by Mets
Bay agreed to his buyout because he believes he can get a major league contract above the league minimum. He's not signing anywhere on a minor league deal.

Re: Jason Bay Released by Mets
I'd absolutely give him a shot. Reminds me a lot of Ryan Ludwick, honestly, but he'd be significantly cheaper. He hit 36 homers three years ago, can get on base, could use the famous GABP boost. If he stays healthy, he's as good a Comeback POY candidate as anyone.

Re: Jason Bay Released by Mets
I'd also give him a shot, he could discover magic at GABP for a year or so.

Re: Jason Bay Released by Mets
Forget Bay. Sign Ludwick and worry about CF from outside the organization for 2013.

Re: Jason Bay Released by Mets
How bad is Bay defensively? I really have no idea.

Re: Jason Bay Released by Mets
i kind've like the idea...I like Ludwick but can't help but wondering if he was just having a "surge" knowing the end could be near. Bay has to be due the same kind of surge if he still has it in him at all.

Re: Jason Bay Released by Mets
Ryan Ludwick 2.2 WAR in 2010-11
Bay -0.1 WAR in 11-12 Narratives are similar but performance has not been. |
