    I thought Machado and Harper were FAs in two years.... I wonder who will actually sign Harper. The Dodgers will have more money by then. Texas might. The Cubs will be rolling in cash and be "winners".

    Fair, but I was talking about salary. The Yankees have one of the best farm systems around, and were actually quite good last year, just missing the playoffs....I thought they'd be more aggressive this off season. However, it is clear they are under new leadership, and may be waiting for next year when there are good FA pitchers out there. Or maybe they are just going to go with prospects and development, but that seems unlikely.

    I actually don't understand why the Yankees aren't in on Dozier as a DH who can play 2B for them, if they want....frankly. He's cheap, and would thrive in the AL East ballparks. They have the means....

    I don't agree trading Sale is actually a tear down. They still have some good pitchers. I don't think contending talent or not is the leverage, though. I think having a player that multiple teams want is the leverage....

    If it is De Leon and Stewart, I want Buehler as the third piece.....HOWEVER, if they can get a legit hitter as the third piece, and deal Santana for a legit SP in the 50-75 range, that combination of players probably works in my mind. I just don't LOVE any of the hitters likely to be available from the Dodgers. Maybe they need a threesome.

    Based on what, for WWE? Not sure it matters, not sure I can buy them, but I am in interested.

    I saw bitcoin yesterday....wish I'd have followed you on that ride!

    Nvidia couldn't wait 1 more week to lose it's value......just 1 more week....

    The defense was really bad, but that was largely before Buxton, Kepler, Rosario played every day. The catching and 3B and SS were, admittedly, suspect. And any time Grossman or DanSan played, ouch.

    What do you expect to get for Polanco, to help this team, if you aren't getting much for Dozier? Dozier's value isn't going up, you'd trade him for less at the break? Try to compete next year? A year after losing more than 100 games? Does that seem remotely realistic to you? Hope and faith is not a good way to run a company...
  11. Mike Sixel
    Interesting. If I factor in expectations, I'd probably raise it a bit, as my expectations were pretty low for the OF group.
  12. Mike Sixel
    and do what, then, to get better in 2018 and beyond? Just rely on the draft?
  13. Mike Sixel
    That's fair. I've never said give him away for nothing, or for players you don't believe in. But, if they can get two top 50-60 prospects, I do that. Nope, there are no guarantees in life/prospect land. But, they need them, badly.
  14. Mike Sixel
    He did say "wait for the pitching"....and the Twins were 16th in runs scored, only 30 from 10th. That sounds like a C to me.
  15. Mike Sixel
    If they think Heineke has ANY chance, I'd play him, but if Treadwell is playing, I'd probably play Bradford half the time.... Frankly, I think they just need to trust what they saw (when they picked him) on film more, but maybe he is just that bad in practice...he has also been hurt, supposedly.
  16. Mike Sixel
    And then slow down the rebuild. Pride is silly. They need to get some prospects.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I can't imagine anyone has forgotten how bad it was.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I just want: no one injured to see Treadwell play And no, I doubt I will watch it.

    As if anyone took Doogie seriously as an independent journalist.
  20. Mike Sixel
    apparently, since vikings journal is about to die....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Terrible idea. You lose a year of development and knowledge, all for what? The TINY chance there is a better player next year? Every single person the internet that used to work in a front office says it would be a bad, bad, idea to do this on purpose.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Well, most teams aren't the Mets or White Sox, right? Perhaps they just know something that other teams don't? Perhaps they are lucky. Perhaps they have emphasized development of pitching more....how's their hitting?
  23. Mike Sixel
    so, if you won't/can't sign high priced FAs....and you won't trade prospects for proven great SPs....how would you ever get a great pitcher other than sheer luck?
  24. Mike Sixel
    I would expect that over time, that hitters would get better at their craft. Two of these OFers were pretty much rookies.....so I guess I'm not sure what the point of the first sentence is, are we expecting fully formed MLB players in rookie seasons?
  25. Mike Sixel
    5 year plan? How is trading Dozier for near ready players a 5 year plan?
