    The Cubs also just designated veteran Garrett Cooper for assignment despite a rather productive 41 plate appearances to begin his season (.270/.341/.432, 118 wRC+). Cooper has punched out in more than 30% of his plate appearances and benefited from a .391 BABIP, which could be red flags for the Sox and other interested parties, however.

    As much as 35......but we'll see. I've been quite wrong on NFL salaries lately
  3. Mike Sixel
    I'm expecting 7 years, announced at 33 million per year, give or take.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Nine players hit .300 last year......that's why, imo, it is unrealistic to expect it.
  5. Mike Sixel
    I'll be shocked if any twin hits near .300 on the year. Almost no one does that anymore. I remain hopeful on AK, but I'm not as certain as I'd like to be
  6. Mike Sixel
    Sigh. Was really hoping he'd explode up the system this year.
  7. Mike Sixel
    I'm also high on him, and expect him to be a MLB player.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I literally talk about drafting better being needed, follow the minor league report, and beg them to trust the guys they develop over veterans every year. So I have no idea what you are talking about.
  9. Mike Sixel
    staggeringly unreal. Has anyone posted negative 6.4 WAR before? Wowsers.
  10. Mike Sixel
    You negotiate what both sides feel is a fair deal, before anyone plays....there is zero pay for performance in pro sports beyond small tiny bonuses. That's how it works. Sometimes it works for one side or the other....or for both sides. Just like any other transaction.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Maybe even Chief.....
  12. Mike Sixel
    People say it can be worse with a random minor leaguer in place of Santana, but can it, really? It's hard to see how.
  13. Mike Sixel
    The drop off from Lewis to Farmer is even bigger than I feared somehow.....
  14. Mike Sixel
    On the plus side, we aren't Houston fans (not sure who will win more, but they had higher expectations).
  15. Mike Sixel
    Every player's thought (except Santana, clearly).
  16. Mike Sixel
    Either there are no guarantees, or there are. It is completely unfair to one side to have all the power, I'm not being obstinate at all. I'm being serious. If teams can not pay players, players should also be free to leave and go someplace else. It's a stupid idea, which I rarely say on line anymore, but his idea is bad, bad, bad for players.
  17. Mike Sixel
    The post I responded to said no guaranteed contacts because players that play badly shouldn't get paid. In that situation, players that play well should be able to void their deal any time and sign with whomever they want, whenever they want. Just like every other employee in the US. No guarantees on one side means no guarantees on the other.
  18. Mike Sixel
    So players can opt out any time and be free agents, any time? What's good for one is good for other
  19. Mike Sixel
    Fair! I have, and very few if any contenders are deep in pitching anyone here would love to have from top to AAA.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Yes and no. I think they also rolled the dice on descafalini, for some reason I can't understand.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I never said it worked all the time. People here are asking the twins to have depth, pointing out a team with a guy in AAA when they don't have guys in the majors doesn't help their argument that other good teams have depth. Sorry that wasn't clear. I thought I was, but clearly not. I don't have to be excited about guys to prefer them over bad veterans....I don't want bad veterans, period. I'd rather roll the dice on severino, who does not excite me, than have Santana. Are you arguing at the end that I shouldn't expect more than one player?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Agree with all this
  23. Mike Sixel
    They got other players too ... They didn't give him away. Not saying I liked the idea, but they got more value back, theoretically, than they gave up, by value of prospects.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Rocco barely played him the last two months, but he took a roster spot.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Pittsburgh doesn't have four legit MLB starters, they don't have depth.
