    some teams accept that the last 2-3 years are the price you pay for the first few years, and are probably not counting on value in those last few years. You can decide to be fine with that or not. $/WAR is a great measure, if you are willing to live with low WAR, you can have a low budget, but then, you'll lose more, right? If it costs $6MM for 1 WAR, and you only spend $12MM, you get 2 wins.....or, if you pay more, you get more wins. If you pay for bad pitchers, you will generally get bad pitchers. Me? I'd rather pay for good to great pitchers, and not waste money on 1-2 WAR pitchers.

    I find it pretty naive to imply that culture plays no part in an employee's actions. Am I misunderstanding, or are some people saying that?

    "rush" is a loaded, self-fulfilling word, isn't it? Other elite SS prospects have come up around 21 or 22, actually, that is when elite prospects generally make the majors for the past 15 or so years. Are we all suggesting he is not elite already? He should, imo, be promoted just before he is ready, to challenge him. I understand others have a different philosophy.

    One of those really bums me out......you think Meyer, who will be 25, will spend another half year in AAA? That is hardly the timetable of an elite prospect. May: September of 2014 Meyer: May of 2015 (which, imo, is too slow) Berrios: September of 2015 Stewart: September of 2017 Burdi: mid-2015 Sano: September of 2015 Buxton: trade deadline of 2015 Rosario: 9/2014 Polanco: mid-2016

    No interest at all. Stop signing old players with no future. Take flyers on young guys that might turn out. Zero. Nada. Nil. No interest at all. Three seasons? that is a terrible idea for an old player that can't stay healthy. Rosario in LF, Santana in CF, Arcia in RF to start the year. See what happens. Or, go get some AAA OF from someone for little cost.

    by by whom was this known?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Well, just when you get your hopes up that next year will be better.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Says a lot about the current state of the MLB, AAA, and AA teams. Note, I said current state, not the future, nor did I blame anyone, it is just a fact, there is no one in AA or AAA to help a team this inept in the field right now.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I like Nick's a lot, other than I think Arcia should stay in RF, because that is where he will be next year, imo. And, I'd like more turnover in the RP. I am really waffling on Suzuki, depending on their willingness to actually play Pinto at C.

    Let's hope you are all correct, and we only get one spot start.......

    If I was going to the basillica block party on sunday.....I might just do that, crarko

    Trying to figure out how early I would need to leave work from crosstown and 169 to get there, through ASG and normal traffic. .....
  13. Mike Sixel
    Can't tell if serious. ......
  14. Mike Sixel
    I could not care less about the all star game.
  15. Mike Sixel
    A player is in a tough spot here. Play, or not. Feel soft, or tough. Contribute, or not. I do think at times, they have been super wrong on the toughness question. .....see Scott Baker. But I have no idea what the culture is. For me, the player has an obligation to be upfront in this situation. It has to start there. If the clubhouse does not allow this, Gardy needs to go. If it does, then not sure what people want Gardy to do differently here. I blame Nolasco In this instance.
  16. Mike Sixel
    At some point you need to bring up your great prospects and pay them, otherwise, why have them? May and Meyer should be in the rotation next year. Hughes and Gibson also. Not sure I care which vet is the last one, assuming it is someone on the roster today.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Always a great read, Seth, thanks. the only coment I'll make is that I think Romero should have received his shot at the majors when Plouffe went down.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I like their chances.
  19. Mike Sixel
    So, ya, I do not admire guys who hide injuries.....they tend to perform badly, and prolong their recovery. Well, this sucks, or maybe he will pitch better in one to two years. Sigh.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, he could, but KLaw, rightly or wrongly, is talking odds and likelihood. What is mor likely, that years of outcome are true for Berrios, or that he is an outlier? I have no idea, but dismissing KLAW, like many here do, is an odd choice.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, the money is a big difference. I would hope that free agency is less of a crap shoot, given the significant difference in information.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Take the millions to the bank. The coaches in the minors will take care of him. In college, they will abuse him.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Well, my untappd name is mikesixel, which is very similar to my real name....if anyone is interested, if not, that is cool also
  24. Mike Sixel
    I agree Seth, I do look at both, I should have stated that differently. Like I said, either way, he's young and it's great they promoted him. Here's hoping Polanco follows soon.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Right, taste is a matter of......taste. I would not expect anyone to agree with me universally on taste...... BTW, I use untappd to track and rate beers, if anyone is interested, PM me, and I'll send you my user name.....* * and yes, there is no "e" in that apps' name.....
