    I disagree with so much here, I might need to write an article.... Owners will make money no matter what, the question is why so many care about greedy players, but don't seem to mind owners making money with no risk at all. Mind. Boggling.

    Spring training stats vs his minor league career and scouting? I hope not.

    Gordon is in the top 100 prospects nationally, yet is constantly discredited on this site. Never got that. As for defense, I was thinking about this in the shower this morning.... you're welcome for the visual....as athletes get bigger and faster, they will cover more of the field, just as basketball players do the court. Defensive deltas will therefore shrink, because the field is effectively smaller. That's my theory

    Grand Barn Door 12:24 What do you think about Brent Rooker? Crushed high A last year and sounds like the Twins are high on him. Starts in AA with a chance at a post ASB call up if he performs? Kiley McDaniel 12:24 Like him, always kinda worried about how much contact he'd make since I think he's always gotten to the power. Especially given age, he'll have to mash and he has. The best reasonable scenario is that, yes.

    I guess I can stop asking when they'll win anything that matters......

    Every CEO knows the theory of sunk costs by now. That has not changed their behavior... That said, I don't get the Hughes decision on a different front. This loading up on veterans leaves them few players with options. This I don't understand.

    Bradford cancels out cousins for draft pick determination, so they should get a third for keenum. My guys is they sign two more players, cancelling out the gain from McKinnon and Bridgewater. They might lose another player or two, netting them a late pick or two. At least that's my guess right now

    Plus it is possible teams are finally figuring out $/WAR should not be linear....meaning the correction for 1-2 WAR players is real. At least under this CBA.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Morrison didn't......
  11. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. On all of that.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I really like Teddy, but I endorse this move.

    Other than not messing up the economy, this is going about like many of us thought. I expect the speed of the destruction of environmental protection to pick up soon. That's not like money that comes from Washington, where governors push back on Congress....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Or, he starts in AA apparently.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Rooker has to move slowly. Which I think is likely. Joe has to be at least as good as last year, which still saw him as a below median 1B, but not by a lot. I think this is fifty fifty. Joe has to take a huge pay cut. I think this is likely. No right handed DH or first baseman is available that is clearly better. Very likely. Sano can stay at third. Very likely. By my math, that makes it around forty percent.
  16. Mike Sixel
    That might be the most cherry picked ever. Why can't we just look at runs created, or Ops, or something that is close to measuring the outcomes he produced?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Thorpe, Romero, Gonsalves.....one of those will be good, one ok, and the other is a wild card. Those are the odds. And, they are 1-2 years away, imo. that doesn't even count all the other wild cards they have, one of which might work out. I like these moves, I just don't think the pitching is as fixed in the near term as some seem to, that's all. And, none of those three are recent adds to the system. I'm still waiting for that add that I believe in as much as one of those three. Admittedly, I could be underselling some options.....I'm just a random dude on the 'net.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I would use Ohtani as a pitcher only.....but that's just me. He will eventually be good, imo, but we'll see.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I like the OF depth more than any position other than 1B or maybe RP. I would think Granite starts in AAA, becuase he has options and hits lefty. I think Wade is at least a 4th OF. And, there are some players in the low minors with real upside.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I don't know anything, but here is what is likely: ESan is retired in 2 years, or not that good. Gibson is gone. About 1/3 of the upper minors' starters turn out to be really good Odorizzi is gone Our Yankee pitcher is gone That leaves some holes in the rotation, since a team needs 8-10 starters every year, not five. It's been a very good off season. Other than signing Darvish, it is hard to see how it could be better. But, for years people have told me you can't successfully fill multiple holes in free agency. Now that I'm agreeing, I'm somehow wrong, or hating, or something. I've been 100% clear. It's been a good off season.
  21. Mike Sixel
    That is interesting.....if he's good he gets at least 115 million....if he's bad, he gets 75 million. It's almost like, ya, teams do still spend real money on the elite players.... I think, as some have said, teams are figuring out $/win should not be linear. A 4 WAR player has more value than 4 one WAR players....
  22. Mike Sixel
    Not really. The delta between a bad and a good 1B is tiny, at least that's what the data implies at the stat's driven sites, and what they've typed up in many articles and answers in threads. I am not worried about Sano yet, in terms of on field play. As for the backups/pipeline.....it's not pretty unless they move a SS, which did not seem to be addressed here at all.
  23. Mike Sixel
    to be clear, you have decided Ohtani is bad based on a couple spring training outings?
  24. Mike Sixel
    I see no one hating on the short term deals. Not me. What I've said is they'll need to do the same in two years. But I don't see anyone hating the short term deals. to answer the Darvish or this question, I'd rather have Darvish. Darvish plus three players probably is more wins than the four players they are paying the Darvish money.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I literally praised the moves, just said I'm not willing to crown them yet.... Literally praised the moves.
