    Dang, I keep forgetting about Iron Mike Pelfrey! Good point.

    shocker, really, a true shocker TR won't pay for Cubans. I mean, he did the last few years, when great players were sitting there, right? This team is shedding 10s of millions in the offseason, and they can't afford this guy? Bill Smith gets too much hate, imo. he at least tried.

    I agree, the FO has bungled this completely. Next year we'll hear the reason they signed another crappy FA pitcher is "because you can't count on 2 rookies in the rotatation", I'd guess. This is a negative post, and I apologize for that, but it is how I feel. about this FO right now.

    Not deleting posts.....sorry. When typing up a post, there used to be a cancel button. I know it is redundant to "back" or just erasing the post, but it did make it easy for me type a tirade. Read it. And hit cancel before posting my stupidity.......

    McCarthy is just another guy to block May and Meyer. Assuming Nolasco is healthy....you have him, Hughes, Gibson, May, Meyer, with Berrios closing fast and 3-4 AAA guys around to fill in when needed. Either sign an ELITE SP, or use the farm.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Brock, did there used to be a "cancel" button by the posts? Believe it or not, I'd sometimes delete my tirades and not post them. I assume now, I should just hit "back' or something else. I liked the button, but if you are doing agile, you can put this at the bottom of your user stories......

    You guys are trolling on Hunter, right? He can barely field right now at all. This wouldn't be an issue if they'd have signed a cuban or two the last few years....... I see a RP (instead of using young players from the farm), and a stop gap, bad, OF in their future. Maybe a catcher too.
  8. Mike Sixel
    If only there was a solution to the log jams of players.......
  9. Mike Sixel
    It is not about salary. Back of the pen guys should be fungible assets you can option up and down to AAA. This is one reason they have issues, imo, they do not manage the roster properly.
  10. Mike Sixel
    got it, misunderstood your point somehow (maybe I shouldn't do work and this........) I'd be happier with someone not on a 40 man roster. Getting another RP on the 40 man would be a bad allocation of that limited resource, imo.
  11. Mike Sixel
    And this is why I stopped being a dev, and am now in architecture and product ownership.....thanks for your work Brock. Really. thanks,

    What jeremy said for sure.

    And, Nick, the issues are not just about luck, that's what some of us are saying. Heck, the projection systems pretty much pegged Mauer to do what he was doing (and people ripped them for doing that). Dozier has been as good as last year, Floriman was an embarrassing plan, Plouffe has been Plouffe (and most thought Sano might be up now, so they lost a couple of months maybe). Frankly, I think they are luck to get what they are out of Josh, given his health history and age. Hicks, terrible plan, they brought that on themselves. Arcia is what he was predicted. They got super lucky in the first month or so with the players that carried the club. Pelfrey was predictably bad. Him missing time isn't bad luck, if you promote Meyer or May to replace him, it is a gift from the baseball gods that the FO refused to take advantage of so far. IMO, of course. The bullpen has managed to be as good as last year. So, the bad luck is that Buxton and Sano and maybe Rosario are delayed by 6 months or so. Yes, that stinks big time. Yes, it is depressing. But mostly, IMO, the team is bad because it is super thin and has no room for bad things to happen at all. None. (other than starting pitching, which they seem to refuse to fix).

    On the mobile version, where can I see my settings?
  15. Mike Sixel
    Pelfrey was completely predictable. A mind boggling move. There was no bad luck there. None.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I don't think anyone is offering much for Josh at this point, do you? Teams over value prospects and the future over the more certain present every day. Baltimore should be dealing (not for Josh per se) for sure right now. When will they have another shot like this?
  17. Mike Sixel
    Only 2 years of no MLB CF? You sure on that?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I don't think so. They might be slowed, but they were not competing this year. I don't consider them unlucky. This is what happens when you have no depth, or refuse to promote guys (May, Meyer) that are good when injuries happen. I don't think this is even close to the unluckiest team around. They are just bad, without much depth.

    Love the new organization chart site. If someone had time, they could put in links to MiLB pages and stats and stuff.....
  20. Mike Sixel
    No way he passes Harmon.
  21. Mike Sixel
    So, basically, abandon strategy and tactics? Should a hitter swing on 3-0, if he's not a power hitter, if it is a stike? I don't really see your point, at the MLB level. It only seems different because it is not something you are used to. Shifting is just like using the zone defense in other sports. I have no skin in this, emotionally, but you clearly do. Not criticizing, just trying to understand your view.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Why are they angry though? What harm did it do anyone, other than to some unwritten belief? No one was cut that shouldn't be. No one was hurt by this. He should not have been in that band box place in the first place, imo. Now he won't be. We'll see what happens in a couple of years, but I'd still role the die on him being very good.
  23. Mike Sixel
    What is silly about it? do you feel that way about basketball playing zone, or 2 on one on the best players? do you think they should not shift in football? Other than "it isn't how it should be done", I don't really see the issue.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Appel was having issues. they wanted their coaches to get a look at him. How would you go about doing that, other than having him throw in front of them?
  25. Mike Sixel
    Congrats to them both! Well deserved for sure.
