    Yup. The twins are league median offensively among MLB teams at catcher. I just checked. Actually, they are 11th..... I'd suggest that content is important when considering what would be done this year, and when judging the players.

    Seems like looking at these numbers compared to the league.... Would lead one to believe the team is near league median.... So, hardly a real concern. Jeffers has barely been in the league, and people want to give up on him. People asking to trade for one long term.... What team is giving up a long term catcher? There just aren't many on the planet.

    We're looking at sample sizes of three now? Maybe look at every RP trade over the last five years across baseball for useful data. The site is filled with people saying the team has too many players for the 40 man next year, and people don't want to trade anyone? I get that some feel this team will be better next year. But they probably won't have CC. They won't have a built in 4.5 game lead. If the team doesn't add players when leading the division, why would anyone think they would next year? It would be a terrible decision not to try to get better. Any news on Maeda?

    Also, I'm bored with 011 being the only answer....her entire arc in season 4 was meh.

    Reagan would have bombed that town by now.....just sayin'

    That's a lot of pitchers, and lack of up the middle players. I could get behind it, but I'd be nervous about the lack of up the middle players in the system, given their, imo, misses lately.

    One of your best. Hat tip.

    That Mahle trade is awesome of the Twins, no way the Reds do that. If they do get Mahle, I move him to the pen and make him a 2 inning RP. That's way less than the Twins got for Berrios, and it isn't close. I'm not too keen on trading Steer at this point, not for a rental at a position that the Twins might be ok at (DH or 1B, given how often Buxton and Arraez DH and AK is the 1B). I'd do the Bard deal. I just think all those moves together deplete the hitters in the minors too much. I'd much rather give up Ober or Enlow or Balazavich than all of Steer, Wallner, Martin (who I was clearly too high on).

    You consider a number 2/3 starting pitcher a supporting piece? Tough grader. Ryan is absolutely as likely to be important to the future of this team as Kiriloff or Lewis, and certainly Duran.

    Writing, pacing, acting.....all great in season 4. Loved the ending. Truly great tv.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Other than catcher, who do these guys replace? And each add adds a 40 man issue. If we are going to talk adding bats, it would be great if we discussed who they replace. So, maybe the OP can do that?
  13. Mike Sixel
    If Mahle is reasonable to acquire, I do that and move him to a two inning RP. I think he'd be nearly unhittable in that role. I don't see Miami dealing either of their top two. Castillo is obviously an interesting starter for a playoff team. I wanted Montas, but not now.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I misunderstood you. While I don't agree completely, my bias is also SS types..... so I understand your hesitancy with a catcher.
  15. Mike Sixel
    You can't be serious. He provided more value at catcher than most others. He's a hall of fame player. Baltimore is thrilled with their new catcher.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Nelson Cruz was not good until his late 20s..... I'm not sure drafting him and getting nothing because he was on another team is a good example. Do we really think he's going to be an elite bat? Because if he's not, he's a negative on defense. That's a huge gamble. I am not a fan of bat only players, like Sabato at all. It's just too much risk. I'm not a fan of this idea, in terms of process. Got no idea in terms of outcomes.

    Thanks for coming into this thread of celebration with your hawt take of negatively.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Which has nothing to do with insisting good pitching staffs should average 6 or 7 innings.
  19. Mike Sixel
    The average start in the majors has been under 6 innings for a few years now. People screaming the starters need to average more than 5 or 6 just aren't paying attention to all of the other teams.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Maybe they weren't sure archer and bundy, as reclamation projects, would work out.... since they never do. Inept? Two division titles, a starting staff they acquired, and leading the division.... your standards are high.
  21. Mike Sixel
    You are the one that said once the game starts, it is on the manager. I must have misunderstood what that meant, if not the skill of the players doesn't matter.
  22. Mike Sixel
    I never said that. I would like people to acknowledge he isn't awful, given his options. The hate for him on this site is over the top ridiculous. I bet the over under on deleted posts about him is astronomical.
  23. Mike Sixel
    So if the players are bad, losses are on the manager for using them? The manager in Oakland is bad, because their record is bad, not because the players have the worst OBP in modern history? Unreal.
  24. Mike Sixel
    It should be clear that this isn't on the manager. He has few options. This is on the front office. Just amazing how bad the relief pitchers are.
  25. Mike Sixel
    The same front office that built an entire starting staff from scratch? People just can't see beyond their rage.....
