    FWIW, Fangraphs has Lewis a 55 and Jenkins a 50.......IIRC. Overall, I think it shows just how DEEP this year's pool is, which is why I liked the strategy of picking the best player at 5, rather than playing underslot games.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Why in the world would the Reds do that? Insane.
  3. Mike Sixel
    We all know young guys means less experienced. Come on.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. It is POSSIBLE he could work out of the pen, but even that seems unlikely......His stuff isn't going to get out MLB hitters....that said, if they try it, fine. Also, if they try it, it will confirm, for me, their insane belief that only old guys should be on the roster this year........and, i get not everyone agrees with me. I'm not trying to convince anyone here...
  5. Mike Sixel
    Great insight, which I agree with! Love the upside here, and believe he needs a couple years to get used to his body.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I love that he came here
  7. Mike Sixel
    Dang. I still argue it was with the risk.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Thanks. So, ya. Getting worse isn't a problem. They can't win with this team. Find out if you can with the next set....
  9. Mike Sixel
    I mean, no one could be worse than Miranda has been this year, so either is worth a shot at third for me, while Miranda goes down and hopefully fixes things. Look, to all the naysayers on trying these things....the team has scored 2 or less runs in 40% of the games ( I read that on the site, so if that's totally wrong, then my argument is less sound, if it is 3 runs, my argument is still good, but not OBVIOUSLY good). That is 100% not a winning total, so possibly getting worse isn't an issue....because they aren't good enough now. There are three years of data on Gallo and Taylor and Kepler to tell us this is who they are......
  10. Mike Sixel
    And? This offense is terrible as is.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I think the idea, which I don't hate, is to put Goldy at first, and AK in the OF..... I mean, it's not what I'd do....I'd put Polanco at third, Wallner in RF and Larnach in LF. If Polanco can't play third, I'd put Severino there. I'd promote Severino to AAA last week.....I would consider calling up Carmago to play C and first, or Williams to play first and AK to the OF (over Larnach, who I'm losing faith in).
  12. Mike Sixel
    IIRC, there might be an injury issue.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Polanco at third for sure, over Julien. Julien has no chance at third, IMO. They 100% need CC and Buxton to hit, though.
  14. Mike Sixel
    we can only hope at this point! Truth.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I get that.....you need 13 pitchers in the majors, and a like number at every level. Give me pitchers! But sure, you CAN find players anywhere. I merely expressed a preference, not some kind of criticism or anything more or less. Anyway, really liking this draft.
  16. Mike Sixel
    None of whom are catchers, which is the post I was responding to....suggesting to not take a C in the upcoming picks, but to wait....
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'm suggesting getting a catcher late, is less likely than pitcher, hence, keep taking pitchers. That list is pretty pitcher full.
  18. Mike Sixel
    That's an amazing stat!
  19. Mike Sixel
    some people expect new players to be studs immediately, or judge them as busts. Thankfully, every FO has more patience than some fans. Admittedly, he hasn't exactly been great.....yet.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Can? Sure. Likely? Um, no?
  21. Mike Sixel
    by everybody you mean a handful of people, I assume?
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'm sure they don't take them w/o a number agreed to (or close to agreed to).....so I'm guessing they do sign them all.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I'd rather they keep taking pitchers at this point. It would be unusual for a C taken this late to be good at the MLB level...I'd just keep waiting on C.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Baldelli doesn't sign players, or put them on the roster. This is on the FO. 100%.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I think you make a good point....40% of their games they've scored 2 or less runs ( I read that, hoping it's true). Sure, each individual could be worse, but scoring 2 or less runs won't win you any games, so those games can't really be worse as a team. Rip the damn bandaid off....
