    Play the young guys. Thru the good and bad. Play the young guys. This is a team in transition, play the young guys.

    Actually,i said if there are only three good pitchers,i find it hard to believe they will win the bidding. If Lynn is good, if there are more than three worth signing, the only thing stopping them is desire to spend. We will see this of season. I remain hopeful they do something, well a couple of somethings.

    Then move him.

    Why do you listen to the announcers? I usually put good music on during tv sports.

    I doubt he is a 3.5 WAR player next year. And if he is, that buyout is not happening, unless it is his option, even then... But, I appreciate your perspective, we just disagree.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Uh. Jeter? Jeter was one of the fastest players in the league, with great range? Uh? No. Are you suggesting SS has greater trade value than CF?

    I think the goal is to have Buxton in front of Dozier, and I can buy that goal. It's like hitting the pitcher 8th in the NL, super tiny advantage.

    I'm really not interested in a pissing contest, frankly. And, I don't really want to dig around the internet to find the data right now. If you are interested, go for it, since it's easy to find stuff on the internet, apparently. It just isn't important to me, but I wanted you to know I wasn't ignoring you or your request. I'm just not interested in this line of discussion.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I admit to being surprised he's playing. I still expect him to go down when they need another SP.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Maybe he's working with Turley and, um, the other TOP prospects there?

    I read that the Orioles lost Rochester because the team wanted more AAA/AAAA players there, more "names" and upper level talent, and less prospects. Maybe this is about relationships with Rochester. Either way, we've heard all year he'd be up "when"...and all the "whens" have passed except drjim's. Just like Rooker was only going to spend 2 weeks below A ball.....

    You realize you just said that there is a very strong correlation to success in the rankings. You need to look at the population to understand the process, not each item in the population.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Just move him to center already. Use his speed as a real advantage. The real question is when is Rooker promoted. It's sad he isn't in at least A ball.
  14. Mike Sixel
    My guess is they don't think he's an 8 ERA pitcher going forward. If they did, no amount of mentoring would matter, would it?
  15. Mike Sixel
    I knew that, wasn't aimed at you.... and dang, I wish the non-Cameron crowd had been more right about Buxton than Dave has been so far...

    I don't think people really think about how projection systems work, in baseball, in the stock market, in airline safety, in any part of life. Some people just don't really want to believe that projection systems are about most likely outcomes, not all possible outcomes (though those are usually in the data too, just not talked about because you'd have to write 100000000000 words to cover all possibilities).
  17. Mike Sixel
    Point being that being wrong on one or four prospects proves all projection systems are bad? The data is actually pretty clear, when you look at ratings and career WAR, there is a fairly strong correlation, despite the obvious misses.

    from the comments section the fangraphs trade value series: YKnotDisco Was Berrios close to making the HM/top 50? 1 2 hours 49 minutes ago Dave Cameron He wasn’t one of the last few guys cut, but you could throw him into the 51-100 group and he’d fit in fine. If he keeps pitching well, he’ll get consideration next year. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2017-trade-value-1-to-10/#comments
  19. Mike Sixel
    Doesn't mean he's not around, mentoring. Whatever, nitpicking the data adds nothing to the actual conversation.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I think a 2/3 is a good idea. I've stated that on here a couple of times. It should be possible, for this team.
  21. Mike Sixel
    people do change and learn and grow. Like, all the time. It's a good quality, contrary to what some might say.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Oh, I'm with you all the way on that...
  23. Mike Sixel
    wut? Berrios and Mejia aren't making progress? Or, what stats? Literally have no idea what that post means.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I guess I don't see how it could change their plans, because the WS are doing what everyone knew they would, KC has not changed its plans, and neither had Detroit or CLE. I'm not sure what's changed, really, other than they've won a few more games than "planned" probably.
  25. Mike Sixel
    With Pineda needing TJ.....it might be that the Yankees want ESan now.....doubt it, but possible.
