    Heaven forbid they use the catcher that adds value more than half the games....
  2. Mike Sixel
    I mean, like when the Mariners traded for Castillo, if the O's want him, the Twins shouldn't play.
  3. Mike Sixel
    nvm
  4. Mike Sixel
    If they'll take 4-5 guys, none of them in the top 5, why not do that?
  5. Mike Sixel
    Yankees are the best team in baseball, so I'm not expecting wins here......just want Lewis to be healthy and get his feet wet.
  6. Mike Sixel
    happy birthday.

    I mean, I'd consider this for sure, but I'm 100x more confident Julien will hit than Lee will......and I'm a Lee fan. It's so hard to know what he'll do, IMO.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Great post

    Too many at bats to below replacement players so far..... And too many home runs given up. On the positive side, gotta be happy about Miranda, Larnach, Kepler, Jeffers. And CC just keeps being very good. The return of Lewis is exciting, but I'll admit to the fact I'm just going to enjoy it while I can..... The team is above average, maybe even good. Given they were forced to cut payroll this much, I'm ambivalent about the FO, as I don't like some decisions, but they are winning...

    You're suggesting not making changes based on six weeks, yet you like sending Julien down after three bad weeks, after last year and the start of this?
  11. Mike Sixel
    You're getting 2.5 years of a starting pitcher, you can lose a pitching prospect.
  12. Mike Sixel
    They need a top starter 1000000x more than a RP.
  13. Mike Sixel
    No. You'll need Raya, Gonzalez or Keaschell, and another 12-20 ranked guy....IMO,
  14. Mike Sixel
    I mean, sure. I'd deal any two pitching prospects and Gonzalez or any lower ranked hitter. You are down one pitcher and one hitter in that deal.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    League average as a hitter for the year, and above average defense this year.......he's a median 2B right now.

    Princess Leia: Help us Obi-Wan Clemonobi! You’re our only hope! Keep Royce Lewis from any more freak injuries, master Jedi! 2:28 Ben Clemens: You want the impossible! Chickie: Edouard Julien just got sent to AAA for poor performance and the return of Royce Lewis. Take a look at both Julien and ELDC’s numbers over the past 28 days and they’re pretty darn close. With the exception of SBs and K’s, where Elly holds that advantage/disadvantage. If McLain and Marte were healthy and active , I’d guess Elly would’ve been AAA bound himself. 2:50 Ben Clemens: I mean, what? 2:51 Ben Clemens: I do not think that makes sense? And like…. if you’re sending people down for 28 days of performance you should not be anywhere near a GM’s seat 2:51 Ben Clemens: Dan is writing about the Julien demotion later today, or maybe it’s already up actually

    Playing crappy players in case good ones get hurt is silly. You aren't winning with crappy players anyway. Are we sure this one month of data tells us more about Eddie than the previous 5 months? I'm not. If Margot can only play the corners, and not hit, I'm not interested in him being on the roster. It isn't about being crippled, but having the best 26 guys playing. Not having massive black holes getting lots of at bats......like when Margot, Farmer, and Vazquez are all in the lineup. That's 1/3 of your lineup almost an automatic out at this point. Wallner outhit Margot and Farmer and Vazquez, and doesn't have a job. Julien, even more so. Martin outhit all three of them, out of a job. Margot has put up negative fWAR, as has Vazquez, and Farmer has put up zero. That's three replacement (or worse) players....Farmer has over 100 ABs, and now Julien isn't on the roster....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Why are we only looing at batting average? Julien has been a league average hitter and slightly above average fielding 2B this year.....when taking into account slugging and walks, etc....Margot has not. And they won't even play him in CF....

    He's already 55th of 59.....are we sure the next guy would be worse?

    He's close to the worst hitter in the game. How much defense can fix that? Really. 406 batters have 50 or more at bats. He's the 400th "best" hitter......5 wrc+. That's not a typo......
  23. Mike Sixel
    No early HS pitchers, please ... One reason they don't have pitchers taken early high in their rankings is they don't take pitchers early..... Can't have them ranked if you almost never take them.
  24. Mike Sixel
    First rule here is to say Vazquez is the greatest defender ever and his hitting is irrelevant....
  25. Mike Sixel
    Martin for Farmer is the obvious move at this point. He can play second and the OF, and is a legit speedster for late inning running. Julien need a reset. Plenty of great players needed one at some point. I'm confident he'll hit well again. The question is, will he or Lee do it first? I'm all for Miranda at first over Santana, but that's not happening.....
