    Was that the question the OP wanted to discuss?
  2. Mike Sixel
    I don't think he signs for less than 4-5 years, $35MM+
  3. Mike Sixel
    Congrats, and well deserved for both of them.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Excellent point about the offensive holes elsewhere maybe influencing their decisions in the OF.....
  5. Mike Sixel
    My agreement was that he'll go down some next year, not that he can't hit. I have no idea if he can hit long term or not.
  6. Mike Sixel
    They seem to have a very different tolerance for injuries for Sano than other players......and yet, I'd argue Sano is more important to their long term future than those others.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I hate to agree, but I agree. I am reading more national people wondering if he can really hit or not (some were questioning that months ago).
  8. Mike Sixel
    see above for the quote, Nick. It's not some narrative people made up. Sigh.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, I know I would (which maybe means they wouldn't......). Maybe there would even be a Vargas sighting if Sano could play 3rd more right now (I know, I'm dreaming).
  10. Mike Sixel
    That is a good point on Rosario and his likely ceiling.......maybe I just don't trust Hicks enough right now.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Probably, but I think this is about Plouffe as much as anything.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I was merely answering the question asked, not opining at all. Ryan said the words about Berrios only being 5 11......
  13. Mike Sixel
    I absolutely am including service time in my thoughts, but he's a pitcher. They get hurt a lot. They built the stadium to sign guys if they want to. They have not failed to sign a guy they wanted to sign since opening the stadium. I'm saying there is value in the certainty of 2015 vs the super great unknown of 2021/2022. I'd bet on that certainty more than the Twins are doing this year. I don't understand how calling him up this year effects your scenarios at all, in that last paragraph. All of that can happen if he's up this year.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Well, KC seems to do with light/medium hitting corner OF who play good to elite defense, so I think you are still under rating OF defense. IF I was trading one to make room for Kepler (which I wouldn't do, but that was the question), I'd deal Hicks. IMO, he's the least likely to hit and field, but some team will see this year as a corner turner and offer value for him.
  15. Mike Sixel
    One of the reasons he's not up is that he's only 5 11 and they need to be careful with him.....or something like that. I don't think there is any way to say Berrios isn't clearly the more likely better prospect right now, and it isn't close. Not saying Gonsalves isn't a good prospect, he is. But Berrios is a top 20 prospect.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    I figured the Nationals for sure.......
  17. Mike Sixel
    Is Vargas alive?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'm very glad Escobar is doing well. I hope they give him the job next year. I see 13-14 wins the rest of the way as a reasonable projection.
  19. Mike Sixel
    In fairness, Ryan didn't sign or trade Santana, leaving Smith to do that work. Or, he could have offered him arbitration.....would that have been worth what they got? The Garza trade was the exact trade people here praised Ryan for doing with Span and Revere. I am told I can't judge the Meyer Span trade on the outcome, only what people knew at the time, and that the process matters more. So, ya, they picked the wrong guy, but you can't say it is the process with Ryan, and the outcome with Smith and be fair on how we are judging them. btw, none of this means I think Smith is better or worse than Ryan, all I'm asking for is that when we do compare them, we are fair in how we talk about them..... there is no excuse for the Capps or Hoey trades, none.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Yes, I am suggesting that cutting Berrios' innings and Duffey's innings in the minors to 5 inning starts does NOT hurt their development, and keeps them available in case odds/plans change. Yes, I am suggesting that.
  21. Mike Sixel
    If you are not allowed to change your plan half way through the year....there are issues. It doesn't matter what anyone thought in March, it matters what they thought in June and July.
  22. Mike Sixel
    If Duffery has run out of innings, and Berrios has run out of innings.....that does not speak well of their planning in June and July.....let's hope they let Duffey keep pitching.
  23. Mike Sixel
    One of my favorite parts of the site, thank you to everyone involved.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Duffey is better than Berrios? Duffey is better than Berrios, that system must be even deeper than I thought, and it makes the Santana signing even more oddly timed....
  25. Mike Sixel
    More great work, Seth, thanks. some great performances. Some guys with real upside also, lots to look forward to.
