    I'll be shocked if Julien plays in the OF unless every other option is injured during a game.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I'm not sure I understand your point.
  3. Mike Sixel
    It does make one wonder ...betts played a position he's never played this year, to help the team, and Lewis can't be bothered to play the OF....
  4. Mike Sixel
    sigh. Ya, you're right, it is only about money.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Fangraphs has Jenkins 81 overall.....I doubt they've really updated the overall board though, so that might go up or down slightly....
  6. Mike Sixel
    How many arms not named Varland would they need to include? I don't think the Cards are dealing him......
  7. Mike Sixel
    That's my point. No rental was as good as Gray, so we don't know what Gray brings back. I think technically Castillo was, but they had an agreement in place, clearly, but I could be wrong.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I just don't think they are moving on from MAT......nor am I sure they should. It wouldn't kill me....but I think if you add Polanco at third and Larnach in left, then Lewis at third and Polanco at 2B and Julien at DH (bench Buxton, he's not as good a hitter as Julien), that they could score a run a game more than they are right now w/o fixing CF .... assuming CC returns to near CC level as a hitter and Jeffers plays 60% of the time. Would I like more, like Kepler also gone and Williams at first and AK in Right? Yes. With all that, if they still can't hit, we have a lot of info on next year and beyond, and haven't really lost anything this year (since you can't win playoff games scoring less than 3 runs a game 40% of the time anyway).
  9. Mike Sixel
    Other than Stevenson, I'm good with that plan. I really do think they should consider putting Buxton on the IL, and putting Polanco at third when he's healthy.

    Most rentals aren't as good as Gray....I just looked at 2022, and there were two trades with better players (Soto and Castillo deals).....I don't know if we know what Gray would bring back for sure. Less than Castillo for sure, but more than most. I mean, if they can't get a 45 value prospect (or better) they need to keep him and offer the QO, assuming he doesn't fall on his face the rest of the year.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I don't give a rat's butt about return. I want them gone. Now. DFA. Just. Do. It.
  12. Mike Sixel
    They need to get more than about the 40th pick, give or take is worth....as he'll fetch that or so by signing after turning down a QO. That's likely one 45 or 45+ prospect. I think they can get two of those at the deadline, so unless they fix the hitting for this year, I agree.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I'm ok, not happy, with starting the season this way, but we now have data on the hitting and pitching.....at this point, it should be obvious that depth that includes bad starters isn't really depth....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.....
  15. Mike Sixel
    https://blogs.fangraphs.com/revisiting-an-all-star-swap/ Great article on the trade.....and the last paragraph explains why both teams made it, imo.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Their WPA is a rounding error off (around -.7) ......so I'm not sure that narrative is correct. That said, I would also send Gallo out first, as he's not been even in sight of good for months now.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Comparing anyone to such an elite athlete across sports is fools gold, but just comparing their size? that's fine....
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'll say this again....if they don't believe in the options at AAA, trade them.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Anyone that loves golf that much is a good pick....
  20. Mike Sixel
    Also, no one is expecting anyone to lose money on purpose. No one that is rational anyway. But that straw man is powerful for some, I guess. (not you, clearly)
  21. Mike Sixel
    What FA pitcher other than Berrios would you even have wanted to keep (note: they extended the guy they traded Arraez for, so no idea what you are saying).
  22. Mike Sixel
    That family thing, for me, was huge in my decision making about career....so I get that totally.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Every day convinces me more and more they should trade him.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Last year multiple teams gave up multiple legit prospects for rentals.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Both. Now. You can't win with this offense, try another one.
