As I told you before, it’s the Suitcase Hall of Fame, not the Suitcase Hall of Awesomeness...
You always want to see what a guy has - he is a former MVP-level player. But this is not Josh Donaldson - who while getting a 5-win season is unlikely, it's not impossible. The Yankees don't lose much here (they have a ton of payroll room), but the reward is probably going to be low too.
If the Blue Jays even remotely thought Tulowitzki had a 5 win season left in him, he’d still be a Blue Jay. It’s not like he’s blocking Carlos Correa here.
I don’t blame the Yankees (or any team) for trying, but my guess is by April, they’ll see what Toronto saw.
The big loser in all this is Ronald Torreyes, who is wondering exactly what he did to not get any shot to be Didi’s short term replacement...
Right, I meant that a team signing Donaldson hoping he can be a 5-win player (not expecting, hoping) is not crazy. It's a decent value play. Tulo is nothing like that - the best/worst that can happen is for Tulo to have a good spring and capture Boone's heart for a month the way Grady Sizemore did for us, before turning into the pumpkin that was expected.
lol....The Suitcase Called and Came....
Would you consider Oliver Drake for the Suicase Hall of Fame?
Drake was acquired by the Rays today. He has already pitched for 6 teams in a four year MLB career. Tampa will make 7.
Suitcase Hall of Fame? Or Suitcase Hall of Very Good?
Of course the cost of hoping for 5 wins from Donaldson did cost $22.45 million more than it did to wish upon a Tulowitzki...
Tulo is not going to be a 5 WAR player. That said, it's possible that he could be a 2 WAR player. If we had any kind of need for him, and had the space for him, I'd take him for the major league minimum.
Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer chances.
Step right up!
Satchel Paige should be the President of the Suitcase Hall of Fame... and an inducted member too. That would give him membership in at least 3 Hall of Fames.
