    Rip away, but Gausmann is on the block....and the Os are in win now mode.......good coaching completely changes him, imo.
  2. Mike Sixel
    so they'll be more than 9 games over .500 at the ASB?
  3. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I've been clamoring to "win now"........and he's had a down year+, but they stupidly moved him to the other side of the rubber, and won't let him throw his best pitches often. they keep jerking him around, starter, RP, starter, AAA, MLB......give him a role! Go trade for Kevin Gausmann....really, with good coaching, he'd be in the Twins' top 3. Or, make him a RP. I believe the O's need a RH OF, and some other pitching types....would Hunter and Pelfrey and Rogers be enough? Ya, I doubt it will happen......
  4. Mike Sixel
    With the Twins' luck, the A's would be something like 15 games over right now......
  5. Mike Sixel
    Huh? that first comment is called sarcasm....and it talks about how he's been accused of it. He gets accused every day of hating teams. It just isn't true.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Pretty funny thread title.....but I'm not sure it's a good idea, given how much people generally like him....that said, it works and is well done....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Trea Turner sure would look nice right about now.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    And I thought I was rough on this team...... I don't see how you think they can possibly compete next year either, frankly, since there are no catchers or SS available in FA, and they aren't signing an ACE.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I don't think it takes into account tv and radio money, does it? If it does, then I don't know the answer frankly. I do think it is an interesting idea to allow playoff teams that succeed despite smaller revenue streams to be in this lottery. In some ways, I like rewarding them. I MIGHT not let them ever get a 1st rounder maybe.....

    And if Buxton is hurt again next year, then what? So if no one looks like that top pitcher next year either, then what? that third one is fixable, and yet, they haven't really tried any internal options at all. I don't think they are awesome either, but I think throwing away the banked wins this year is like throwing away a 5-10 WAR player starting next year.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Agreed....what would convince you otherwise? If Sano and Buxton were both here and healthy?
  12. Mike Sixel
    not really a fan of the current formula / eligibility rules on this concept, but at least they got one......

    I agree, I don't think any pro athlete is soft* *ok, there might be that rare exception As for the manager, well, I don't get judging Molitor in less than 2-3 years...... the whole leadership thing is funny. If he's leading in the same way, and they are now losing, what does that say about the importance of leadership?** **I believe in culture, but think it's a bit of a myth that one guy can totally change how well another pro athlete plays.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    It is a bad trade to trade a legit prospect for a bad RP, that isn't hindsight.
  16. Mike Sixel
    what veterans are they trading for good, MLB ready, players? Or, are they trading for more prospects, meaning 2017 or later?
  17. Mike Sixel
    He ranked Buxton number 1. He moved Berrios to the top 25. He loves Sano. What evidence do you have of this bias?
  18. Mike Sixel
    how do you propose they get that ace if you won't over pay for one in FA or trade? Because there isn't one in the pipeline at all right now.
  19. Mike Sixel
    given that take, no way they go for Tulo. He's not a "move the runner over, steal bases, look good not making any plays" SS that they seem to like so much here.....didn't think of that until these last few posts about Hardy....
  20. Mike Sixel
    I agree that will be the response.....right or wrong.
  21. Mike Sixel
    You said this: "Unless you are the Yankees, Red Sox or Dodgers you make the big trade or FA signing to try to put a strong team over the top, not to try to re-work a borderline team" now you disagree, and it is ok to trade / sign a FA, even if they aren't 1 player from going over the top? If so, why wait, why not do it now (if that player is around for 2-3 more years)?
  22. Mike Sixel
    But that's not what I or anyone is asking them to do, so it's not a good example of what is being discussed here. It's an example of a bad trade, going for it or not. I can give all kinds or examples of good and bad trades, but since no one is asking for this kind of trade, it is not a real good rebuttal, imo.
  23. Mike Sixel
    So, do nothing this offseason either, that is big, since it is the same team?
  24. Mike Sixel
    I agree, that wasn't Seth's point, though, imo, maybe I misunderstood.....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Not one place have I said trade a legit prospect for a replacement level RP......no where on this entire board, ever.
