    doing what with Buxton, Hicks, Rosario? there is no financial implication to playing Joe less, they pay him if he plays, or doesn't play. The key is to play the best players......
  2. Mike Sixel
    Bruce and something else.....and something else.
  3. Mike Sixel
    I gotta say, we don't agree on a lot on politics, but I agree, Trump is no Tea Party member....
  4. Mike Sixel
    I'd do it right now.
  5. Mike Sixel
    And, if they had dealt him.....instead of saying "all good prospects must be kept"......but yes, it is a huge surprise to most everyone.
  6. Mike Sixel
    He could just slide feet first, and give up that 1-2 times a year it will matter, to stay in the lineup.
  7. Mike Sixel
    And put in no backup plan in case it didn't work. Ryan could have had a backup plan.....and not put Hicks' in that situation. Either way, awesome it is clicking now.
  8. Mike Sixel
    then why do we read all the time that it is hard for a tall pitcher to repeat his delivery, and it takes longer for them to develop? There is a difference.
  9. Mike Sixel
    He did deal for Shannon Stewart, didn't he? You'd think that when it works, you'd maybe try it again....
  10. Mike Sixel
    clearly Hunter placed his ability into Hicks' body this month, in some kind of freaky Friday thing.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    We'll just disagree. And I'm ok with that. And no, your last paragraph does not logically follow from the theory.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Agree with every word in this post. Other than the Meyer thing, which ain't happening (and I know you said if).
  13. Mike Sixel
    they placed a very bad bet, given what we know about tall pitchers, imo. As I said at the time, the idea is good, but needs to be judged on how good Meyer turns out. Had I known the history of tall pitchers, I would have ripped it mercilessly at the time.

    Uh, that Astros trade was great for the Astros. They have no CF, and their OF defense is suspect. They are loaded with young talent already. He's controlled past this year. They also got a controlled pitcher, who will pitch out of the bullpen this year, with spot starts. He can step into the rotation next year if they don't sign another guy.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Why the bleep would you deal those guys for Upton? Mind. Boggling.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Meyers is 6 foot 9. List the players not named Randy Johnson that have been good pitchers at that height........I'll wait.
  17. Mike Sixel
    No chance the Reds do that. I'm not sure that is enough for even 1 of those players, let alone 2. Wheeler will go to the Reds for Bruce and something else. Wheeler.......
  18. Mike Sixel
    Two real trades in that whole list. I'm not holding my breath here. I do agree with Ryan on one thing, trading a legit prospect for a rental this year is now a bad idea. Everyone else around them is trying hard to get elite players, and has amassed real talent. I don't think their quickly evaporating games in hand are enough to hold them all off. Of course, this is a self-fulfilling prophecy, sitting around and losing ballgames while the bullpen implodes, then saying they weren't good enough to add players that matter.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    What does Graham do now that May has his job of not mattering?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Sorry, that was my prediction for a Ryan quote........
  21. Mike Sixel
    Inconceivable
  22. Mike Sixel
    His point is that Ackley was once an untouchable prospect.......who could have at one time been traded for a real player.....but you can never trade prospects......
  23. Mike Sixel
    You forgot....soak in vodka.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I may need to rethink my appreciation of Hughes as a lock for good part of the future.......
  25. Mike Sixel
    Escobar? Nunez? Hermann? Fryer?
