You're right, we should discount his career .885 OPS vs LHP because he spent the last 3 years in Colorado. Thats totally smart.

 

[spockmaster]

Rockies QO'd Cuddyer, so he's out of the picture officially.

Damnit, just noticed that too. Stupid Rockies. Morse would be my 2nd choice, career .827 OPS vs LHP.

What does that mean?

Well he's 35 now. Doesn't that count for anything?

 

[swami45]

Rockies have made a qualifying offer to Cuddyer. Now I have no interest in him. This team needs to stay away from players with QO's

 

[spockmaster]

Given his 1.287 OPS vs LHP this year (small sample size, but still), even with a reduction for age and leaving colorado, I'd say he can still hit them.

Its a moot point now since i want no part of losing a draft pick to sign him.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I still don't value any batting numbers coming from Colorado.. He didn't have a whole lot of at bats vs LH and I'm not sure how many were home and away but when I see Colorado I see overinflated and when I see 35 I see maybe going down hill.

 

[spockmaster]

We'll have to agree to disagree then, though it doesnt matter since I dont want Cuddyer with a draft pick attached to him.

 

[byco42]

Cuddyer's as available as Norm Cash and people here are still arguing about his viability?

 

[byco42]

What does that mean?

QO=Qualifying offer. A one year offer that is equal to the average of the top-125 players salaries from the previous year. It's 15 million this year. If a team makes one, the player has seven days to accept or decline. Offers must be made within five days of the final game of the WS. If a player declines and signs with another team, the offering team gets the first-round pick from pick from the signing team for the next draft. The top-10 picks are protected, however, so those teams surrender a second-round pick.

 

[Thundercats]

He should see 75% of the PAs. How is that part time?

He is better offensively than Butler.

Lmao. How the hell is that NOT part-time?

 

[spockmaster]

I dont want the Tigers to sign ANY player we'd have to give up a draft pick for this year, we need them badly.

I know what a qualifying offer just threw me with the abbreviation. But thanks.

So a player is part-time unless they see 100% of playing time?

I guess there are only a handful of full-time players in baseball by your definition then.

75% is a vast majority, I would not call that part time.

So working 30 hours a week would be a full-time job?

 

[Rebbiv]

According to Obamacare it is.

No, but 32 hours is.
