    that's not enough, imo. Price alone will bring back 1 prospect better than anyone in that list.
  2. Mike Sixel
    why did Polanco not start today? Why is he on the roster, over and over, only to rarely play when he comes up? If he's not going to play, call up some guy that will probably never make it, and let him be in the majors a couple days.
  3. Mike Sixel
    How many games would they have to lose for that to happen? Four straight 90 loss seasons. Past two years from now, this GM has added Hughes, May, Santana, Nolasco......that's about it, right? I'm willing to wait, but only if they actually do it if they completely tank again this year.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Nunez is still on this roster why? Polanco did not play, why?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Frankly, I'm not sure what Ryan has done to build the farm.......since he's the GM, not head scout. He hasn't successfully signed and flipped guys. He traded Span for nothing, but got May (who they refuse to use) for Revere Other than making sure the team is bad, and getting a high pick, what has this GM done to build the farm? As for the MLB roster: Signed Hughes Nolasco Pelfrey Correia Santana Hunter (gone after this year) Stauffer Boyer Thompson Suzuki et. al. Really, Hughes and May and Santana have been added by the GM (counting guys that will be here and good next year and beyond).....in, what, 4 years?

    hey, looks like it is "uncategorized" again.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Plus, if they did take on Shields and didn't flip him, it would almost guarantee we don't see May or Berrios in the rotation soon at all.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Not a fan. This year is toast, imo. If you are going to use resources, use them to find a C or SS that is legit.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Is this a Molly thread, or just a Molly ejection thread......'cause his use of May and Graham is criminal. And if he called for Dozier to bunt today.......ugh.
  10. Mike Sixel
    It will totally be a self fulfilling prophecy too..... "see, they weren't good enough to worry about adding players for this year", as if adding a legit RP weeks ago wouldn't have prevented some of this. I blame Molitor also. His use of May and Graham is very, very bad......
  11. Mike Sixel
    The point was pretty clear, if you will only trade for cost controlled guys w/o question marks, the cost will be ridiculously high. And the supply very, very low.
  12. Mike Sixel
    what percent of teams that didn't add a player won the WS? Only 1 team wins the WS.......
  13. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea, but some leaders are great at building things, and terrible at running them. It might be that Ryan has the kind of strengths you want to get a team near the brink, but won't do what it takes to put them over. Might was in that sentence, for all you readers. I don't think he'll ever be aggressive enough for me. I don't think he'll ever deal to put the team over the top. But, I don't know that. Frankly, I think he's a bit stuck in the past, but again, I'm not in the room. I can only judge what is done, or not done, not the process, since I don't see the process.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Wait, dozier was bunting? was it a sacrifice, or try for hit. If a sacrifice, Molitor needs some more Goin time.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    that sounds like PR speak right from the FO......doesn't bode well for a change. And, man, that thinking is so 1980s it is ridiculous.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Fair weather fandom is significantly more rational than rabid fandom.
  17. Mike Sixel
    btw, ya, I agree on your list of things that won't happen.
  18. Mike Sixel
    If things work out great.....1-2 of those Royal's pitchers will ever matter in a meaningful way in the majors. If I was a Royals' fan, I'd be thrilled they didn't keep Jason Tyner as their DH, errr, their bad 2nd baseman and added an Ace type pitcher. As everyone knows, it's rare it all falls into place according to plan, when you have a chance, you should take that chance.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Some people just wanted Hicks in AAA until something showed it was clicking, as Brock said. I was never sure he'd be good, like we are with some, but I just wanted him in AAA learning, not up here with no alternative behind him.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Hu is interesting. The results are there, but the scouts aren't in love with him.......
  21. Mike Sixel
    hard for Santana to accumulate much WAR yet.............. Either way, Pelfrey is not now good. He has not been good since 2010. He won't be on this roster next year. There is no good reason for him to be starting, and not May.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I do agree with your general statement, our priorities are out of whack here.....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Polanco not playing? what is the point of having him up, exactly, if he's not playing? Sano at DH still? Better be his ankle, and not that they don't trust him there......
  24. Mike Sixel
    If it isn't Sano at 3B and Polanco at SS, I will be confused. They clearly don't like Esobar or Nunez at SS, and Sano is the future at 3B, so I'm sure we'll see something totally not that.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Maybe he's just not cut out for a full season's workload? Maybe it is a just a coincidence. No idea, but if he's not great, this team is sunk.
