    Lowering expectations lowers ticket sales. This whole thing can't help sales, making it a self fulfilling prophecy they have to cut spending. I'm really baffled here.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Did Jeffers kill your dog? Wow. Every thread.
  3. Mike Sixel
    If any of those guys need to play for a week or more, yikes. Farmer is the last backup I trade. Heck, what are the odds Lewis is healthy?
  4. Mike Sixel
    Who's your backup SS? Because if it isn't Lee, you better hope CC plays every game.
  5. Mike Sixel
    well, they'd likely have Sandy Leon type in AAA (and on the roster), so, um him (in addition to Camargo)? Trading Vazquez isn't punting the season. Let's not exaggerate his importance, imo.
  6. Mike Sixel
    his defense has more value? That would be my guess. You said you can't compare guys across positions, the entire idea of the positional adjustment and measuring defense IS to allow you to compare 1B vs SS...that's the entire idea.
  7. Mike Sixel
    It's literally the opposite
  8. Mike Sixel
    He's clearly a DH and "emergency" catcher at this point....which is valuable if he's healthy. I think he could play 1B fine also. I'm betting he gets a 1 year deal in the 8-10 range.
  9. Mike Sixel
    And yet, knowing they needed another catcher, they signed one.....maybe that was, you know, the plan.....They have one of the best catching duos in the game right now, so I don't get the constant complaining.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Great, if no team will offer value, then don't do it.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I think we should stop trusting BTV at this point....
  12. Mike Sixel
    Garver can't catch, and Rortverdt was out for a year and can't hit. Both of those were the right move for a team with this budget and depth. Not even close.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I don't understand the question......I said what I'd do, not anything about other teams and stuff. If there isn't a team willing to deal value for him, for whatever reason, then I don't trade him. Nothing more or less. I would 100% expect the less expensive guy to be worse than Vazquez, but the return to make up for that in other ways.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    I don't trade him to save money. I would trade him for a good prospect, assuming they then sign another, less expensive, catcher. I think he's clearly good to great defensively...... And when the pitching isn't as good, because it's not likely to be given the staff, people will blame the catching rather than the pitchers.... He'll likely hit better next year. He needs to, given the rest of the team as currently constructed.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I would not trade him without a good return. I don't see them spending the savings.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Do the rays trade rookies that were very good? Seems unlikely. I don't know, I'm asking
  17. Mike Sixel
    Tennessee has tried that strategy, and was close for a while. I think a great defense, great running game, and ok passing could win again, but it's not been done......
  18. Mike Sixel
    I think we'll disagree on that, and I'm ok with that.
  19. Mike Sixel
    this is a really stupid post. Have you watched these guys get drilled, from age 10-35? Come on. You get hit by a 350 pound guy and let me know how it goes.
  20. Mike Sixel
    I sorted by fWAR...which takes into account D.....I have no other realistic way to compare every catcher in baseball....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Ya, that was kind of my point above....Dobbs might be one of the 50 best people on the planet at what he does, and it doesn't matter at all. That's kind of mind boggling, really.
  22. Mike Sixel
    He had a top five babip in play during that stretch. That's not repeatable by any means other than luck. I'm not saying he's got no value, I'm saying expecting him to out hit nearly everyone is unlikely to say the least
  23. Mike Sixel
    Also, strong disagree hitting doesn't matter at catcher. Ridiculously strong disagree
  24. Mike Sixel
    Jeffers was one the best hitting catchers in baseball. Top five in war if he plays 90-100 games there. He's a difference matter. Dropping him moves you to one of the worst catching teams in baseball.
  25. Mike Sixel
    KoC noncommittal at QB for the next game, and he considered benching Dobbs last night ....
