    Imagine how bad your team would be if they all hit like Vazquez. Would it even win sixty games?
  2. Mike Sixel
    No, but I'm not convinced about most any prospect, and even many MLB players. I guess we disagree on taking chances on upside, rather than settling for bad veterans.
  3. Mike Sixel
    The could have Prielipp relieve for a couple months this year, and still be a starter to the start the year in the minors next year. I'd only do that if they are in the running......but it is not totally unusual to do. Lots of teams promote TOP prospects with less at bats than 600 in the minors. If he's healthy and the guy they all say he is, he should be up some time next year, well before September.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Which is basically what I said in my second sentence. It's not just about him. On the other hand, they h have plenty of chaffe. Also, I've never understood why people want to watch bad veterans with no upside, rather than take a chance on rookies.
  5. Mike Sixel
    It's a hot sheet. Not a list of top prospects.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Tempting, but it makes competing the next two years tough.
  7. Mike Sixel
    He's way too old to worry about years of control. Now, they might not want to bump others.... But I can't imagine holding him back to worry about controlling him to age 33....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Partly due to them splitting time, he doesn't even have 100 at bats as a catcher and that's a counting stat. But yes, he's not hitting great as a catcher this year. Still, more than twice as good as Vazquez.... Last year he was the 8th best hitting catcher. Sixth best in 2023. So anyone trading for him would be assuming he regresses to his career norms.
  9. Mike Sixel
    He's worse than that. Much.
  10. Mike Sixel
    He's the worst hitter in baseball. 301st of 303 with 100 at bats. No defense makes up for that.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Either Sabato or Keaschell should be the first baseman at this point.... Once the latter is healthy.
  12. Mike Sixel
    He should be on the roster right now.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Or, more likely, ownership.
  14. Mike Sixel
    303 hitters have at least 100 at bats. 2 are worse than Vazquez. No amount of defense makes up for that. He's not just worse, he's a lot worse.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Are we only looking at batting average?
  16. Mike Sixel
    The bottom of the bullpen is not good.
  17. Mike Sixel
    He's been bad, but he's still hitting just before average overall. Larnach is barely out hitting him. But I'd understand dealing wallner instead. But if Larnach is better, I deal him. I'm expecting Emma, Keaschell, and Jenkins all available next year in the OF at some point. But I'm not going to say your wrong.
  18. Mike Sixel
    That's fair. I'm willing to bet on the more years of control for Wallner.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I'd sign Bader to a two year deal. And trade Larnach in the off-season.
  20. Mike Sixel
    47 catchers have at least 100 at bats. Vazquez is the worst hitter of them all. And it's isn't close.
  21. Mike Sixel
    303 hitters have at least as many at bats as Vazquez. He's 301st in hitting! Just DFA him and try anyone else at this point.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Does everyone else go to the bathroom or clean or something when Lewis and CC are up at this point?
  23. Mike Sixel
    IMO people have been sleeping on DeAndrade.....
  24. Mike Sixel
    I guarantee if someone offers him one hundred million, he's leaving. Fifty, probably thirty, is enough. Maybe twenty.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Martin and Keaschell come up for basically free. Martin can replace Bader. Paddock by a free player. That leaves catcher really to be signed. I guess first, but I'd put Keaschell there as soon as he's healthy this year I see no real additions this off session until the team is sold. Or they give up selling it. As I've said, morning changes until Lewis and CC hit or are gone.
