Sign Vlad to limit Abreu?
Dave makes the case that to limit iron-man Abreu to not vest his 2012 option, they should sign Vlad for 2011.
This is the tradeoff:
A. Sign Vlad for 7MM$ in 2011, and some other one-year DH for say 8MM$ in 2012 (total 15MM$).
B. Let it ride with Abreu (9MM$ option in 2012).
So, that’s the trade, that by doing this, it costs you 6MM$ to have someone other than Abreu as your DH in 2012, and you gain the platoon advantage in 2011 (but limit your bench).
Someone else can work out the estimates to see if it’s a net gain or net loss. The proposal is interesting anyway.
