    No way I'm trading either. They're basically free and likely get better. I guess if you can get a hitter with five years of control who is already good? But who is doing that trade on the other side? I don't know who is better!
  2. Mike Sixel
    I agree! I'd put him at first the rest of the year. He can't throw much, I'd guess.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Gotta move slow. The twins way!
  4. Mike Sixel
    They probably get one 40 value guy? I'd go for a pitcher with only two pitches and make him a RP.
  5. Mike Sixel
    All my potatoes just died. They looked so healthy.... But there's nothing in the ground as far as I can tell. Oh well. Maybe I'll plant beets or beans. My hesitation is the two week trip to Minnesota in September.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    And Gonzalez. Heck, why not push Sabato now and see. There have a tiny window with this staff, and are just doing their normal thing, which has never worked.
  7. Mike Sixel
    WEll, Lee was drafted 1:5, so lots of guys I'd guess (if Lee can't hit). And, it isn't a crapshoot if you mean random.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Hey, I agree....but they aren't giving up on Lewis, CC, Jeffers or Buxton. And they aren't getting rid of both corner OFers, not their style. So, IMO, it will be a challenge.
  9. Mike Sixel
    It's so hard. Lewis, CC, Buxton, Jeffers are here for sure next year. That's 4 of 8 fielders. Then you have Keaschell somewhere if healthy. Martin for Castro. One of Larnach or Wallner ( I can't see them moving on from both, but they both could be back because DEPTH). You really only need a 2B (Lee, Keaschell, ?) and 1B (Keaschell, Lewis, ?) and one corner OF. It is hard to fix if Lewis, Buxton, CC, Jeffers, Wallner don't hit and aren't healthy......
  10. Mike Sixel
    Or Ford from Seattle.
  11. Mike Sixel
    And they sign the SS.....leaving on the 16th round pick.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I mean, if they tank next year what do you do? At some point, you have to play your guys. This is a lost year, if not now, when? 100% Martin and Keaschell are up again this year, most likely after the deadline. Sabato and Gonzalez? probably not by this FO....but by me? Yes.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Also, this idea that if CC hits 4th or 5th matters to him as a hitter seems really odd to me. They are all going up there trying to get a hit. Also, so many injuries, and bad players and platoon guys....why would anyone want a consistent lineup given this roster and last year's? I just don't get this obsession so many here have. Do we really think if Lewis wakes up and he's batting 4th or 6th he groans and decides he isn't happy and can't play well?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Ballesteros is a great get. That would be very good. Jonah Tong or Nolan McLean of the Mets. I don't think Painter is realistic! But that would be an A+.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Definitely in waves! Almost always spoofing a 952 area code, which is a dead give away now that I live in OR.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    Martin should be here now, over Kiersey or Castro when traded. Anyone over France. could be you for all I care (I'd put Keaschell there right now and for the rest of the year). I'd also consider Sabato and just see if he actually figured it out this year (aka, Rooker). Bader? I guess Martin, but I'd consider Gonzalez. Get his feet wet for next year, so he's not a rookie next year. The RPs? I'd probably put some random SP from the minors in there that isn't one of the top 4-6 guys in the minors that might be starters.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Or they made a simple mistake? Or they don't agree they can get two for one RP (since no else has in the last decade)? I doubt it is as you rudely say that they can't read....
  18. Mike Sixel
    great points! I generally agree, btw, that they should concentrate on the expiring deals. More likely do the others only if others call them first......there are more bidders for all the players they control in the off season anyway....
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'm going to guess here.....and maybe when gleeman and the geek talked to levine they heard this, but I'm guessing every single player on every single team (majors and minors) is in a database the TWins have, and they aren't "looking at hte players" other than maybe having some scouts eyeball them a bit. I just think, and I could be wrong, they already know everything there is to publicly know about every player out there for the most part.
  20. Mike Sixel
    So, the same problem as now......hmmmm....I sense a pattern.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I'm not thrilled neither worked, and I don't like how they handled either.....but at this point I just think they need to move on. Which means they won't, and will get nothing for them.....or they'll sit in AAA giving them nothing but blocking others from moving up.....(can you tell I'm down on the FO?)
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'd rather wait for the off season, when there are more bidders, and I agree with you on the minimum get. As for the OP and premise, I just wonder how people think this team is getting fixed w/o trading valuable players to fill the massive offensive holes here.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I hadn't realized he'd been that good. They won't be dealing him.....oh well.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Don't worry, Ty France will absolutely crush it tonight (posted just for you! :) ).I can't see them scoring much against Gore, so Matthews will have to be really, really, good.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I mean, there is a lot to like here, but Pablo and Joe completely disprove one of your facts. I agree, he's created this mess and I don't think he's the right one to fix it because of that....
