    Twins up. By four.......still too close for May to come in?
  2. Mike Sixel
    Getting Buxton back is better than any trade I could have made.......
  3. Mike Sixel
    He has a plan, it just want working. Zunino was supposed to be good. Two top pitchers got hurt. Every FA he acquired is a been blech. Ya, he is bad......
  4. Mike Sixel
    Seattle is bad.......and will not blow it up. Nice win tonight. I like wins.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Why would you want to lead people that expect you NOT to help them? Wouldn't you want them to expect an addition, that you have their back?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Polanco at SS.....yes. Escobar as DH? Is this a different Escobar?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Very low level prospects, but then, why don't the Cubs want more than that? I am not convinced he is good.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Pelfrey has not been good for 5 years. May might be good.......
  9. Mike Sixel
    Norris will be in their rotation next year. This isn't some a ball pitcher with massive question marks. They got a great, near term, prospect. If anything, it shows they are serious about the near term.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I notice other teams trading multiple prospects from the same position, for proven MLB players with more than 1 year left on their contract. They aren't waiting to see which ones are good/bad first.......should Ryan be doing that?
  11. Mike Sixel
    Smith vs Ryan.....blah, blah, blah...... the question is, is Ryan the right guy to build this team, and then get the team over the hump? Here are the assets he's added for the long term that I like: Hughes May Ervin Santana that's it, in 3+ years, since draft picks are about losing......and the head scout......
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure I know what I'd do if I was them. It really depends on how they feel about the big man's injury. to me, this indicates they are less optimistic than we are led to believe.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Well, they just got a prospect back as good or better than Berrios, oh, and they just freed up $20MM. It is likely, as long as this owner is alive, that THEY will re-invest that money in an elite player, imo.
  14. Mike Sixel
    No one is saying Smith can't be criticized...no one. We are asking why everything is his fault, and nothing is Ryan's fault.....why trading your SP depth away for the former #3 overall prospect is bad, but trading all your CF depth away for nothing so far is "great process, bad result. Not his fault it didn't work".
  15. Mike Sixel
    I am in love with this thread.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I only like the first part, I hate the second part.....no way I'd re-sign him. None.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'm with you Nick. His signings have been pretty much useless in flipping for a rebuild. I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what great rebuilding has been done so far. In 3-4 years, we have 3 players to show for the future competitive years that aren't draft picks.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Fair, I misunderstood your stance. I'd rather they deal for long term present/future assets, but I have my doubts that happens. As for next year, also fair.
  19. Mike Sixel
    They paid him more than 10MM a year, gave him a no trade clause, moved Arcia out of RF, and didn't expect him to be a full time starter? That's........hard to believe.
  20. Mike Sixel
    why? You are on the "they aren't that good this year" side, right? What value does he add if they aren't making the playoffs?
  21. Mike Sixel
    They really don't seem to like Arcia, though. And, he's out of options after this year. He's either here full time next year, or on another roster (or hurt, I guess).
  22. Mike Sixel
    Anyone feel differently today? They are losing ground, Toronto and Texas just added players, and Perkins isn't exactly awesome in the 2nd half, again. I say if you can get a big time prospect, you deal him.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Looks like they got a great prospect, probably. As USAFChief points out, it never hurts to acquire talent, if you use it, then deal it.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Right, this package is bigger last year, or last off season, imo. It's also why Perkins should be dealt, imo.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I agree, they look like sellers now, don't they. I only deal Plouffe for a SS or C of the present/future. The others, whatever is of real value.
