Have to believe part of this delay is about gaining an extra year of control over him.

Lance is working his butt off defensively. I just hope he doesn't hurt himself.

Way to help yourself out, Lance. Hell of a play!

Bats better pick it up for that effort

What's the market gonna be for Yuli?

He's making 8.7MM (12th) this year and the 10th highest paid 1Bman makes 16.5MM (Rizzo).

Is it crazy to think that someone would give him 20MM per? That would put him at 8th between Carlos Santana and Brandon Belt.

I think $12-14MM would be the market. maybe 3 years max. I think a Reddick type deal he got with us. Age is not his friend.

good news for the Astros...Yuli is 36 years old.

bad news for Yuli...he's 36 years old.

I'd say 2 years at $30 MM is his ceiling in free agency. Not sure the 'stros would go that high. They might if Brantley is gone

Not a GM, and not that smart, but with his age I'd offer 4 or 5 for like 12 per average. Load up the first 2 years and taper off, with incentives, in the later years.

nice matador defense by the third baseman --- Chapman turns that into an out

Yeah but his age is a bit misleading since he doesn't have the mileage a typical 36 year old MLBer has and a 1B who can hit can play a bit longer than a say a OFer or SS.

Just a thought as he keeps producing and doesn't yet show signs of slowing down.

There is a chance. The Giants pitcher is young with minimal experience. Doesn't go deep and gives up lots of hits and walks.

He's actually looked pretty solid so far this year. He doesn't go deep because Gabe kapler is a horrible manager who pulls all of his starters in the 5th and 6th inning regardless of pitch count or how he's doing. He's been arguably our best starter so far, which doesn't say much...

That said, kapler is a horrible horrible manager, so expect him to do something stupid late in the game to give you guys a great chance to take the lead if you're behind.

Have a mentioned how bad kapler is?
It'll be interesting to see if Kapler pulls him after 3. I'll assume he will if Webb can't get out of this.
