    I like Polanco. I don't think I keep him.... 1. He's not very good defensively. You want a good defensive bench guy to replace Julien late in games. Who is your backup SS if he's on the roster and Farmer isn't? 2. He's not been healthy for two years. Not sure why he would be next year. 3. He blocks young players. THIS FO has shown they LOVE veterans. I mean, Julien was great in replacing Polanco the first time, but was sent down and was only up again because Polanco got hurt a second time. I don't trust this FO to give Lee or Severino shots next year if Polanco is on the roster. 4. He's better than many teams' 2b, and has trade value. 5. That's a good chuck of change for a backup. 6. He's not ever going to be demoted to AAA for depth reasons. If they do keep him, I hope they are smart enough to move on if he doesn't play well (Gallo indicates that's unlikely) or if Lee and/or Severino are mashing next year.

    I would never have guessed it was that bad had I not looked....that's why context is so important when looking at value. Everyone else is just better.....
  3. Mike Sixel
    As chief pointed out above, there weren't openers then either....it isn't "new analytics" at all.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Free Austin Martin! On a more serious note, you gotta like what Pierson Ohl is doing. I also retract all the nice things I said about Dobnak two weeks ago (in my defense, I was traveling in Europe and was just in a good mood).
  5. Mike Sixel
    I like this team's odds of being a division winner the next few years, if they trust their farm system and keep supplementing the SP with outside arms.....now if we could figure out the RP....
  6. Mike Sixel
    I have no idea if Severino is better or worse at the MLB level....but it would be hard to be worse at this point. I wish Gallo had worked out, it was an interesting risk (though more money than needed, imo).
  7. Mike Sixel
    come on. You just compared a career minor league player to two HoF players.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Passed you by? This would be the strategy for decades.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Did the Vikings learn anything in week 2? Is the preseason a waste of time now?
  10. Mike Sixel
    No other manager makes a different decision there. It is how the game works. I don't even know how this is debatable (other than the FO only gave him the choice of Gallo, but that's not his fault).
  11. Mike Sixel
    Why not? He literally can't be worse than Gallo has been. he has to be protected this year.....why not?
  12. Mike Sixel
    It was the plan all along with a bullpen / starter game from Pitts.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Good week, shocking result from Keuchel. Good for him! The sooner Gallo is gone, the better. Polanco shouldn't be far behind, alas, as I've always liked him. The team is better the more they play young guys.......there is a AAA OF with great speed and on base ability, former top prospect who is now healthy.....if only there was a position where they were underperfroming, like CF where they are near last in all the majors in war.....or first base....
  14. Mike Sixel
    I didn't watch one second. I barely have read anything, but Udoh should be gone, and this D is going to give up a **** ton of points.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Arraez had almost no experience. There's no excuse for Gallo to be on this roster. Keuchel was truly surprising today. Good for him.
  16. Mike Sixel
    That was unexpected.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Fair. Apologies.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Taylor is 30th in fwar among CF.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Wow. That's some insane cherry picking of one stat. He's been bad overall as a hitter. Of CF with at least 300 at bats, he's 26th offensively overall. And much worse since his hot start. He has all of 1.3 fwar, and that's with his defense. He's not a starter on a great team. He's a great fourth OF.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Made up stat. Priceless.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Why was Lewis at DH and polanco at third? Why is Gallo on the roster?
  22. Mike Sixel
    Polanco at third and Lewis DH? Interesting choice.
  23. Mike Sixel
    So, margin of error....
  24. Mike Sixel
    apologies, I should not have responded to squirrel....
  25. Mike Sixel
    That's probably the best spot for him....I'm not sure who I'd move up. He wasn't any better as a leadoff guy, and his OBP is lower than two of the guys in front of him (I think).
