    Keaschell is a top 50 prospect on mlb.com, I think. But he's not going to start the year in the majors.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'd move prielipp to RP for at least this year. If he survives and they want to stretch him out, they can the following year. He's not likely to pitch many innings this year
  3. Mike Sixel
    Maybe Lee, but not anyone else close to the majors
  4. Mike Sixel
    He is subject to the spending limits, due to his age. So, that does matter. However, he knows he's giving up ridiculous money by not waiting two more years, so he's going to want lots of endorsement money. He'll be a dodger

    She's a lot closer to my age, shocked you picked her as your example. On topic, I didn't even read this ridiculous post.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Based on what?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Thanks for the advice!
  8. Mike Sixel
    Well, then you don't know who the SS is either. Didn't you just make the problem worse?

    Do we really think anything Falvey does will dramatically change revenue this year? The TV deal is done. The payroll is going down a bit or a lot. I'm not sure what he could even do to change revenue much this year.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Sorry I misunderstood you?
  11. Mike Sixel
    They just signed Lopez, so I'm not sure I'm making that assumption. Nor do I think every bullpen position is internally developed. But, if that is your assumption, then sure. Does any team fill their entire pitching roster from within, and graduate 2-3 good pitchers every year? I seriously doubt that.
  12. Mike Sixel
    My reading of their post was that they wanted that to happen so the team would get more investment....my point was, and I did NOT make it clearly, they can increase revenue all they want this year, they aren't expanding payroll this year. They might or might not next year, but that's likely up to the new owner. So, ya, my bad there. I agree on that last part, I think. I THINK a new owner would be ok with CC being gone, so they could direct the POBO and GM on payroll. OTOH, maybe the new owner is like Cohen (not likely) and is good with spending it all.
  13. Mike Sixel
    2-3 pitchers every year? Because that's what I was replying to. You can't even fill that many spots...
  14. Mike Sixel
    You think they are investing in the roster? Because that's what chpetti thinks will happen if they increase revenues....that's what I was talking about. It's not happening this year, they are not increasing payroll, and it will drop if they can make it happen.
  15. Mike Sixel
    They literally graduated three guys last year......what are you expecting?
  16. Mike Sixel
    He wants to choose where he ends up. And maybe get a small bump in pay.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Lee has been a professional baseball player for less than three years, and that's too long? Unreal. the other two likely have little to no value. They are backups.
  18. Mike Sixel
    They aren't making major investments this year. They aren't. They are for sale. None of that last paragraph matters to the team this year at all.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Good stuff, thanks Seth.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I'm also fascinated that you chose a picture with Terry Ryan in it....
  21. Mike Sixel
    I love that DSP announced this with a Tweet, for so many reasons.
  22. Mike Sixel
    As Vanimal points out, you plan and prep for sale when selling.....that's how the world works. If it doesn't happen, did they really lose anything by moving on from DSP? Likely not at this point in his career. They'll know in a year if it is sold. If not, and if they don't like what Falvey did, they move on. It literally has zero impact on the Pohlads at this point. They could lose half their fortune and not have anything bad happen (in reality, but they'd be sad).
  23. Mike Sixel
    Oh ya! D'oh.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Almost impossible to hire someone long term in this situation. Falvey knows the strengths and weaknesses of the org, I'd guess. That should help, if he's free to make real change, which he might not be. It's also possible most people keep their jobs and roles, since they might be replaced in a year.... And Falvey and team want to keep them paid until then. Which isn't a bad thing.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Excellent post.... If things break right for a change, this is a good team. But the odds are low, imo, those three hitters will be healthy long enough. So it depends on a lot of other things going right.
