    Well seeing as Martin is the only guy out there, we might as well go after him. Everyone's prices are going up, and Martin will demand a lot after a good year. It's baseball. It's business.

    It's really not that much money, probably below market value

    Yeah I tried doing it all on my phone so the post/math was pretty sloppy. It's undeniable that he's been a top 5 catcher in baseball since he came up in 2006 though.

    He's gonna be the best free agent by a wide margin at a position that is thin not only in free agency but also in trades, coming off a great year. He even has great value in down offensive years given that he is an excellent framer and very athletic for his position.

    I honestly think the price for him starts at about 14 mil per for 4 years and moves up there. Especially given the money that teams have now, look at some contracts given last year. Some average players get like 10 million dollars and that's considered solid value (What's up Dan Haren?), so I think it's about 60 mil coming to him all said and done with an option at the end

    Giants coming back to tie it in the 9th to only lose in the 10th is so much sweeter.

    6 Game Lead!

    this on the heels of car-go likely being done for the season...

    By Steve Adams [August 13, 2014 at 9:30pm CDT]​

    ​
    The Rockies received more bad news on the injury front today, as Thomas Harding of MLB.com tweets that MVP candidate Troy Tulowitzki will miss the remainder of the season to undergo surgery to repair the labrum in his left hip.​

    ​
    Tulowitzki, 29, has appeared in just 91 games this season but is hitting a hefty .340/.432/.603 with 21 homers in 375 plate appearances and elite shortstop defense. Both Fangraphs and Baseball-Reference.com peg him for more than five wins above replacement despite the shortened season. This will mark the third consecutive season with a significant DL stint for Tulowitzki, who has not topped 126 games since the 2011 season and hasn’t topped 150 games since 2009.​

    ​
    Tulowitzki’s name has been at the center of quite a bit of trade buzz as of late, due in large part to repeated comments about his impatience with losing and a desire to see change in the Rockies organization. Rockies owner Dick Monfort has said multiple times that he has no plans entertain the thought of trading his superstar, although there’s been speculation that Tulowitzki could ask for a trade this winter. He has clarified, however, that he doesn’t want to be traded and prefers to win as a member of the Rockies organization.​

    ​
    The Rockies control Tulowitzki through at least the 2020 season, as he is guaranteed $20MM annually from 2015-19 and is guaranteed $14MM in the 2020 season. His contract contains a $15MM club option for 2021 with a $4MM buyout, making for a total of $118MM guaranteed following the completion of this season.​

    I wouldn't mind bringing Martin back if we can. He was cocky when he was with us and his pulling-everything when hitting was growing tired... but he's tough, knows what a catcher is supposed to be, and would never go Buster Posey. Plus it would make VRP stop crying.
