[i2ockbotm]

It will probably take at least an $80M commitment.

The Cuddyer contract is the absolute floor for his deal.

Are the Yankees gonna let him and Granderson walk? They have anyone ready internally, do they?

Basically, they'll have to choose two of Cano, Granderson, and Swisher. Obviously, Cano's gonna get paid. If they re-sign Swisher after this year, Granderson's gone after 2013. If they don't sign Swisher, Granderson'll probably be extended. The internal OF options like Mason Williams and Tyler Austin are too far away to make an impact in 2014, but guys like Chris Dickerson and Melky Mesa could probably hang in MLB (much more likely in Dickerson's case; Mesa has strikeout-machine potential.).

Huh. I keep forgetting that Granderson has an option.

Also, nice use of the English language in my post. In my defense, I am at a school district.

Haha. My district has the day off, so no subbing for me today. I have to take tomorrow off, too, 'cause I've got an interview for a long-ter sub gig.

That sounds like good news!

Unfortunately, my poor life decisions find me hitting up nearly every district in DE over the next two months as an auditor.

Swisher would be a great fit for the Braves (and let Prado move back to 3B), but he's going to get way overpaid.

Yeah, I'm hopeful, but I'm 0-2 on interviews so far.

Red Sox are in this newly weird place where as long as they stagger contracts and/or don't lock up two expensive players for seven years anytime soon, I really won't mind losing the $/WAR war.

That's rough. Have a number of teacher friends in the same boat. Good that you're still keeping at it.

What would you consider an overpay?

[StuGrimson]

I know Swisher generally plays right but a guy who can play left and first would be absolutely ideal for the Jays. Anything to get Rajai Davis and Adam Lind out of the field.
