    Agreed! I'm dealing wallner or Larnach ( for two) to Houston for a 40-45 tier pitcher.
  2. Mike Sixel
    If the goal is really championships.... They need to sell. This is not a team one or two players from a championship this year.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Oh, agreed. If they do trade prospects in the next two weeks, should be OF, or Hill or Soto.
  4. Mike Sixel
    I'd reverse that trade all day. But I think everyone questioned that one at the time.
  5. Mike Sixel
    People want a team under .500 to deal top prospects, and even current young starters? Speechless.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I'm still not sure what you are arguing.
  7. Mike Sixel
    It's silly to say that a fan, who doesn't have data, should ignore all the rankings. Which is the posts we are discussing. Obviously if they think their players suck, and can trade them, they should. Lots of teams have traded guys that turned into all stars....I really don't get your point.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Sure, but do they? This is a silly argument.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I think if they are around .500, the owner will have them do something I don't like., like trade legit prospects for a run that doesn't come.
  10. Mike Sixel
    This is an excellent point.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Plus, they may want to keep Jenkins down so he can win rookie of the year next year.
  12. Mike Sixel
    You'd give up two top fifty to seventy prospects and a borderline top hundred guy? Glad you aren't the GM.
  13. Mike Sixel
    None. I think you missed the point. I agree with you. I was disagreeing with the person who said they'll never spend like the dodgers....
  14. Mike Sixel
    People constantly throwing out the straw man the twins will never spend the most money in baseball shows a lot about their weak arguments.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'm curious what the danger is?
  16. Mike Sixel
    EmRod is all about health, as I still think he can play, but I admit being less confident.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Ya. A definite weakness of the stat. The play greatly increased the odds of the twins winning, so someone has to get credit..... But I'm not in love with how this works. But it's really hard to build models to measure every possible play in a sport.
  18. Mike Sixel
    There are definite issues with the stat. It cannot measure that baserunning, for example. It only knows the outcome of the play, not why it came that way. It really is meant to measure how clutch a player was in the moment. For example, if the Twins score 8 runs in the first, but Lewis makes two outs that inning, and then hits four home runs later, he likely has zero wpa. But he has lots of positive war. Wpa figures what he did didn't matter that game, war measures value independent of the context, because it's trying to measure seasonal value.
  19. Mike Sixel
    It's explained online, if you are interested. You don't get much value if you do stuff while your team is already ahead or behind by a lot. War is about what to do independent of that context. They measure different things.
  20. Mike Sixel
    JFC.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Backup.... Gray isn't good. I'm not sure what you want from a backup shortstop?
  22. Mike Sixel
    That and age and money. Some people will root for anyone.... Some won't.
  23. Mike Sixel
    The argument that a playoff run is more valuable than a prospect might be true. That's why I think they don't sell.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Show me a massively front loaded contract.
  25. Mike Sixel
    This.
