We have used this idea for the last couple of years. The idea is to go through some of the top free agents, use the contract FanGraphs suggests they will get and have a poll asking if we would like to sign him for that amount.
Anthony Santander is #12 on Ben Clemens’ list at FanGraphs and #16 on Keith Law’s list at the Athletic. Santander is a 30-year-old switch-hitting outfielder who has played some first base. He’s played eight seasons for the Orioles, the last three of which have been quite good. He’s hit .244/.317/.478 with 105 home runs and an 8.3 bWAR. Last year, he set a new career high in home runs at 44. He isn’t a great defensive outfielder, FanGraphs has him at a -2 Outs Above Average in right-field last year, which tracks with his career numbers. And he isn’t a good baserunner, -2.7 runs on the basepaths. But he hits home runs and that’s something the Jays could use. He hasn’t hit well at Rogers Centre in his career, .194/.275/.398, but that’s just 27 games. He has hit well against the Jays, .258/.325/.520 with 21 home runs in 220 plate appearances, but most of that came in Camden Yards. Will Santander age well? His strikeout rate isn’t climbing. And his walk rate has been pretty static for the last few years. He’s a big-time pull hitter . A lot of his fly balls left the park last year, 17.1%. Keith Law says: Ben Clemens: Clemens figures him to get five years at $20 million a year for $100 million total. For me, it is a question of whether you would rather have Santander or Teoscar Hernandez. But Clemens suggests that Santander will get a five-year contract and Teoscar a three-year one. I’d rather the one with the shorter term. Santander is two years younger, which is worth something. Teoscar is an old friend, also worth something.
