    Here is what Eno just said: Eno Sarris Guys in A-Ball have a secret value for Beane, IMO. Never going to play for Oakland. Pump value, sell for veterans.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Looks like the A's are punting....and got two guys in A ball. Surprised he took two guys that far from the majors, really.

    If only the Twins agreed, and would not sign 40 year old OFers, keep Pelfrey in the lineup, sign Suzuki to an extension.........give some AAA pitchers a shot in the bullpen.....if only they agreed, Nick.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Except they aren't playing with their own parts...... Polanco is in the minors. NONE of the AAA starters are being tried as RP (heck, neither are the RP) Arcia is down for a 40 year old to play May is doing nothing, while Pelfrey pitches (and the other BP pitch) They didn't play with their pieces last year, they aren't this year. It isn't their style.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I agree with the OP: Escobar or Polanco for SantanaPelfrey to the pen, or traded, May to the rotationArcia up and playing RF most of the timeI have no answer at C, since they love Suzuki's intangibles more than they should hate what he does as a player

    Santana is the great college athlete that dominates the NFL combine, but can't play. There are millions of awesome athletes out there, most aren't MLB quality baseball players. Santana hasn't really shown that he is one either. Not in the minors, not in the majors.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Hunter by month: May>June>July this isn't a 1 month trend..... But hey, he's awesome, and he is a great leader, and yadda, yadda, yadda. Wonder what faces he'll make at the media when they drop completely out of contention and he's benched......
  8. Mike Sixel
    Used to listen to Aaron, but since he decided to ridicule me for participating on his site, after asking for more participation, and for suggesting they do a live podcast, which they did a few weeks later, well, I'd prefer not to give him my time.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    Which was the top concern all along.......
  10. Mike Sixel
    This part isn't an argument that it is for 1 year? "And I don't think it's a prudent move to give up a significant portion of the farm to play a game that essentially gives a 50/50 chance of reaching a five game series." btw, I agree, it is risky.......but I have seen plenty of the Twins' prospects lately to think maybe, just maybe, they aren't all that great, and dealing a bunch of maybes for Tulo is a good idea. I see where others disagree.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    If I was Baltimore......I'd not have done a lot of what they've done with Gausmann......but they have done those things. they might move him because he has a 5 ERA, and need to fill some holes.......or, they might move him back to the correct side of the rubber, let him throw his best pitch, and have a legit number 3......
  12. Mike Sixel
    Except I don't buy it is a 1 year deal, but you keep arguing it is. IMO, it helps A TON with next year and the year after also......
  13. Mike Sixel
    That's all fair.......sure doesn't instill much confidence in next year either.....year what of the rebuild that isn't a rebuild?
  14. Mike Sixel
    Isn't Sano the DH? If he's the 3B, then you have Plouffe to get a C........w/o giving up any prospects to do so. You expect them to acquire another SP from outside? I don't. they won't be spending tens of millions on the bullpen, will they? Tulo does fix SS....moving it from the WORST position player in all of baseball, to one of the best. That's a big swing, imo.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'm not the one saying they'll find a SS and C that are good in FA next year....you won't find me typing that for sure. Others are saying one of the reasons not to acquire Tulo is that they need that money for signing a SS and a C......
  16. Mike Sixel
    What is their record against those teams in MN? Is it that different? How do they play on the road in general compared to these teams?
  17. Mike Sixel
    The FA list is a known quantity right now. If he manages to spend $20MM on a SS and C, something bad happened. As for a trade, it is possible, sure, but that has nothing to do with signing FAs, which is what I thought we were discussing.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Great, I'd love a big deal for an elite player in the off season. I don't see that happening either......btw, I don't see anyone arguing for trading for a 2 month rental in most of these threads.
  19. Mike Sixel
    It isn't that they won't spend money, it is that there isn't a SS or C worth spending money on as a FA. Look at the lists......just plain bad. And, he has bought 4 medium priced pitchers, but not one ace type that is going to cost 20MM per year for 5-7 years (nor am I saying he should).
  20. Mike Sixel
    Where are they spending that next offseason? Not on a FA SS or C. Not on an elite SP. Probably not on an OF or 3B or 1B or 2B. Where is that money going? Which 3-4 guys are they going to rotate thru? They aren't rotating Arcia through, or any of the SP in AAA that could be RP. They aren't rotating the worst position player in MLB with another guy. I'm not making these suggestions in a vacuum, I'm looking at how Ryan and Molitor are using their options today, and drawing the conclusion that we are not getting a lot of rotating/testing. They didn't do it last year, they aren't doing it this year.
  21. Mike Sixel
    More risky: relying on guys never having played in the majors, or relying on Tulo?
  22. Mike Sixel
    It's a fair stance to take, if you think Santana is a prospect to be a legit MLB SS. I don't share that belief, but if that is their belief, I am glad that they are sticking with it. My choice would be to go with Escobar, who is about the same level prospect in my mind.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'd do Arcia and one of their mid-tier SP prospects...... Ya, I don't think they'd do it for Hunter/Pelfrey/mid-tier prospect either..... And yes, at some point, they'll need to make decisions on which pitchers they keep. And yes, I was with Seth and wanted Gausmann in that draft. I was likely quite wrong about that.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I bet he is dealt for less than you smart Alex's think........but thanks for the discussion.
  25. Mike Sixel
    You can be more talented and win less games.......just look at the As this year.......
