Too high.
I'm working on picks and pans for the Guide. Chase Anderson stands out as the biggest ERA minus FIP (5.22) in all of baseball (150+ IP).
I expect there will be three or four other pans in Guide. We love to pile on.
100% he's on an opening day roster. And you'll make money on him, because it'll never take $5 to get him.
Too high. You won't have to pay that much.
If you get him, say, for $24, you don't want to pat yourself on the back; you just hope you didn't make a mistake.
Seems like it's a done deal. Will be announced on Monday after all players have passed physicals.
Alex I was intrigued when I read this, but in researching it this morning I believe ALL arbitration contracts are "non-guaranteed." See below from MLB.com. Is that correct, i.e that Russell is being treated the same as all arbitration-eligible players?
"Players who are on arbitration (unless specified at the time of the agreement), Minor League or split contracts are not fully guaranteed their salaries.
Players on arbitration contracts who are cut on or before the 16th day of Spring Training are owed 30 days' termination pay (based on the prorated version of his agreed-upon arbitration salary). A player cut between the 16th day and the end of Spring Training is owed 45 days' termination pay (based on the prorated version of his agreed-upon arbitration salary). The arbitration salary becomes guaranteed if the player is on the 25-man roster when the season begins."

Not sure if it's guaranteed. I would think not.

Rotorob, Adler, Patton, Winick, the Cooks, Davidson and Davitt all panned him in last year's Guide.
This year?
My bet right now is Japan.
Non-tendered yesterday.
Time to give Hernan Perez a slight uptick? Someone has to man 2B until the eventual arrival of Hiura.

Sorry, but $17 is a pipe dream.
