I meant prolly now* not prolly not put the QO on him. If they didn't it would be foolish to have kept him and not retained anything.

With that said, if they do put the QO on him; I think he takes the 16.2 mil payday or w/e it's at now. I know it went up like $800,000.

The FA pitching is weak though so we'll see.. he's borderline imo with the market of whether he should accept it or not.

anyone know if this is true?

It's not

It just went up again this year.

Phillies already said they going to put the QO on him if they didn't get a top 5 guy from someones system.
They said they'd rather get the draft pick than a mediocre minor leaguer for him.

So y'all can stop wondering

oh


i dont remember where i heard that then the other day.



yea they might as well. not a whole lot of risk involved.

This is true but the CBA doesn't get negotiated until the following season I believe. Also might mark the beginning of international draft.



All 3(IPK, Samardzija, Hellickson) were 29-30 when hitting FA.

Samardzija 3 seasons prior to hitting FA: 94 ERA+
Samardzija landed 5/$90m

IPK 3 seasons prior to hitting FA: 84 ERA+
IPK landed 5/$70m

Hellickson 3 seasons prior to hitting FA(assuming he keeps the same pace all of this season): 94 ERA+

So, yeah. He's definitely getting the QO and turning it down.

Samardzija had an ERA of 3.25 the previous 4 years.

Vs

4.50


Pretty big difference.


According to you ERA is the tell all for pitchers too.....

lolwat

what are you looking at, m8?

His ERA last 4 seasons was 4.03. 96 ERA+

I think you're counting his 2014 as 3 seasons lolol

Exact same ERA+ over the 3 years prior to hitting FA. Just take the L, bro.
