As Gregor Chilsolm of MLB.com so eloquently put it, Troy Tulowitzki‘s name has been mentioned more over the past couple days than it has over the past calendar year. And why wouldn’t it? A team could sign Tulowitzki for the league minimum and have a shot at inserting a player who could, if all goes according to plan, have a bat that produces a wRC+ of close to 100.
It appears as though teams are starting to take note of this. Recently, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle suggested that the Oakland Athletics, in dire need of a serviceable second baseman, could pick up Tulo at a “mere $600,000”.
