    I've been trying to figure out what I'd do for some time (assuming he opts out). 1. Extend CC. I just don't see them doing that. They have Lewis and Lee ready by middle of next year, and they can sign a legit player at another position for less. (who/what position, unsure). 2. The real question, imo, is the timeline for Lewis' return. If he's projected back "early", I'm ok with Palacios/Gordon as placeholders. Early is May 1 or earlier. If he's projected back later than that, I try to sign a SS. Maybe even one of the expensive ones. I don't see THAT happening, but it is possible. I haven't checked the non-expensive list yet.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I think I agree with this.

    Celebration thread. Sigh. Ok, look it up if you want to comment on it.
  4. Mike Sixel
    You don't seem to be arguing the point at all. They didn't trade berrios until they were out of it in 21. Who says they weren't trying to be competitive this year? They didn't trade any veterans away at the deadline, which is the point. I am baffled at this reply.
  5. Mike Sixel
    The Yankees can also just buy great players if needed. That context seems important.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Perhaps that was my point. Kiriloff if healthy. Arraez ( not that young) or Martin or Gordon at second. Lewis at short. Miranda at third. Wallner and Larnach have looked legit. I'm not sure your point at all, frankly. What was your point? Mine was they have graduated a lot of top ranked rookies lately, which is why the farm ranking is dropping. What was your point?
  7. Mike Sixel
    By graduation almost entirely. But not gutted, no. If they wanted, their entire infield could be rookies or second year players next year. Plus Wallner and Larnach in the outfield. The pitching staff could be sixty percent second year players in the starters. I think it's graduation that is effecting the ranking.
  8. Mike Sixel
    So, higher than before the trade?
  9. Mike Sixel
    The farm system isn't close to gutted. Not even a little. I think that last sentence indicates that you don't agree that risk is real, frankly. Of course the fans want a good team, so does the FO and ownership. Sometimes you take chances and they don't work. They spent weeks/months playing their 5-9th best OFers, often all three at once.
  10. Mike Sixel
    I doubt they were suggesting a 1:`1 trade......
  11. Mike Sixel
    He looks like he might be legit. We can hope so.
  12. Mike Sixel
    I still think an auction system is the best idea, with the worst teams getting advantages. Never going to happen though
  13. Mike Sixel
    But they didn't. So, given that, should they have done nothing? I mean, that's a completely different discussion....
  14. Mike Sixel
    Imagine if they had done nothing! Paddock is different than Mahle, as they paid very little for him because of the risk. People seem to forget that

    The last two episodes of House of the Dragon were so much better than the first three, I can't believe it's the same show.
  16. Mike Sixel
    I liked it. Going to be really annoying as they drag out the big secret. Not that I'm likely to keep watching it. But it's possible.
  17. Mike Sixel
    This.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'd be surprised. I'd like to see Sisk up.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Lee and SWR are the cream of those guys, but if Varland is a starter or reliver, is a great story That said, Wallner seems to adjust at every level, and has a pedigree. His ascent is very timely given the health of their projected OF.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Strotman was always the extra piece. A lottery ticket.
  21. Mike Sixel
    They've proven they can't win by winning the division twice.... I think the FO has two big issues. Terrible first round picks too often. Terrible bullpen management. An awful lot rides on the budget next year. They can afford a top SS. And pitching, though I think their best route there is dealing with Miami.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'd move Mahle and Maeda to relief, like two inning guys every four days or so. I'd likely bring back Sanchez, given the options. If Miami is really trading one of their good starters, I'm in. I'd certainly consider one of the elite SS, but I don't see it. I'd listen on Kepler and Polanco, but be in no hurry to move them.
  23. Mike Sixel
    This. They need to put Martin at second or left or center and let him get comfortable, imo.
  24. Mike Sixel
    That's a heck of a straw man. I was refuting the "fact" he was so bad he couldn't play on the majors. No place did I say he was Buxton.
  25. Mike Sixel
    He was one of the highest rated defenders this year before getting hurt. By every site. Nothing in your post is factual.
