    Greg 1:04 Which team has the best collection of far away guys that are volatile but have great upside? Eric A Longenhagen 1:05 SD, MIN, TB OAK Not a Phillies Fan 1:23 Thoughts on Brusdar Graterol's ceiling? I feel like he could pull a Forrest Whitely this year Eric A Longenhagen 1:23 I didn't plan it this way but this was literally the next question in the queue. 1:24 I like Brusdar! but he's a short strider who some scouts haven't seen a changeup from, so there's pretty significant relief risk. But he's upper-90s with a plus slider. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/eric-longenhagen-prospects-chat-1-30/

    I don't like any of those choices very much.....and I'd prefer someone that can do something other than have a bunch of HRs, but nothing else at all (no defense, no running, no OBP.....those guys offer nothing, imo). I'd roll with Grossman and / or Vargas for now.

    If Dozier was mad last year, and they don't sign a big time FA SP, I see very little chance of him wanting to stay. I could actually see him asking for a trade, if the FO and ownership don't acquire pitching. I know if I was him, I'd want to move on in that case. As for the Twins, IMO, they can more easily replace Dozier than they can find/develop starting pitching. I'd probably let him walk, depending on his price, and what budget I have to work with.

    Go get which other Ace? And if there is no way to predict, we could just role some dice and choose. They could fire the GM and save a ton of money. I don't agree there is no way to predict. Your prediction can be wrong, doesn't mean your prices is bad, or that odds are you would be right more than you would be wrong.

    Why would anyone be angry about a logo or even a team name? Would the Twins not be the same team if they changed logos? Oh, wait, they have changed hats, and uniforms.....and still you root for them......
  7. Mike Sixel
    for me? yes...

    The delta between AA and AAA is really big. The delta to the majors is really big. He could be the 200th best pitcher on the entire planet right now, and still be a AAA/AAAA/RP type, and not a starter in the majors.

    don't be ripping novels......

    Does continuing to back kickstarters and patreons for D&D stuff count? 'cause I keep doing that..... I almost bought an instapot, but have held off. Then there is a vitamix, I'd like one of those. Two issues....I live in an apartment with a not large kitchen. I don't have much income right now....

    I will never understand the "they aren't one player away, so they should not spend big money to get better" crowd. That reasoning pretty much leads to never signing a great player, since the odds of being 1 player away from being the best team in MLB are very low. We just come from different places, I guess. That's cool.
  12. Mike Sixel
    really? Are you actually offended by it? So, naming a team Redskins is, um, an honor? what I don't get is why people care that the logo is going away. Do people root for logos?
  13. Mike Sixel
    it's more they need to keep control over the old stuff, otherwise anyone can use the logo for anything.......this will help limit the logos use.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'm more ambivalent about the name.....but the mascot is offensive.

    Eric L of Fangraphs has said in the past he thinks Wade might be a starting OF...

    Here is where I come from. If they don't spend money, because a pitcher wants four million more than they are worth, and they pocket the money, that does not help fans at all. Not one bit. They could buy a pitcher, inefficiently, and still have budget room. Or, they can pocket the money, and the team is worse. No one is arguing spending 200 million, or tripling what a player is worth. I am arguing that I would rather they overspend sometimes, than pocket the money. I guess I could ask you how it is better they pocket the money, than to spend it at all? As we know, many free agent contracts don't work, and are not as efficient as other contracts. Should they only pay minimum salaries, since those are more efficient? That would be the logical conclusion some here are making.

    Does WWE already have a channel, or whatever his org is now?

    people pay to stream free network tv........so, there is an audience for everything.

    They will put it on cable or PPV or something......He doesn't need to create a long term asset, just one that makes money for 5 or so years..... I have my doubts, but it is possible they can make money on this.
  21. Mike Sixel
    You blame the owners for seeing profits go up, and the value of their teams going up? I'm not sure I understand......the players are getting a lower percent of revenue than they have in a long time.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Brewers have plenty of money, and unlike some other team, have shown a willingness to spend it when their window is open....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Darvish pitched the 24th most innings in MLB last year.....I have no idea why 200 is some mythical number still.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    The Cubs added before their core was all there... How did that work?
  25. Mike Sixel
    I have never understood fans worrying about the team spending efficiently. They have money. They have needs. There are 3-4 pitchers that could help. Next year, those arguing not to spend will point out all the flaws of next year's class. I guess I just don't get why people think it is better for them as fans if owners pocket money, and don't try to make the team better. We just come from different votes, I guess.
