    Not even a tiny bit.
  2. Mike Sixel
    The amount of negativity is not surprising. My advice to young people, never become a sports fan. It's toxic.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Same. Mostly I'm happy for the team and it's fans.
  4. Mike Sixel
    They definitely had him ranked that low.
  5. Mike Sixel
    This made me smile....
  6. Mike Sixel
    We're going to check one year, and one division to check credibility? I mean, they might suck, but that's no way to check math.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Bundy and some combo of the guys on the 40 man. Gray, Ryan, Ober, Bundy, guys......and Dobnak.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Ryan or what Shoemaker and Happ did here last year? Not how good they are, but how they did here last year......It isn't even close, imo. that said, I'd bet under 84 also. The point is that it isn't hard to see how the team could win more games than last year, at least that's what I thought I typed. I could be wrong about that.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Berrios was here for about 60% of the year, their new pitcher should be here all year. Ryan is 1000x better than what they rolled out most of the year, Pineda was gone too.... Projection systems think Buxton will play more than a handful of games. It isn't really hard to understand that they might win more games, given the injuries and trading off their whole pitching staff.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Huh, I was told Fangrapahs was too optimistic with 79! And that this team was closer to 60 wins than 80?
  11. Mike Sixel
    He could get better, yes. It's not like he doesn't have a history of being good. That said? I'm not holding my breath. I'd rather see him at DH than catching....but then what about Sano/Kiriloff? Is AK in left field?
  12. Mike Sixel
    I'll take 71 and you get 69.... luckily, this isn't the final roster. Here is why I think you are wrong.... A full year of Gray, unlike Berrios last year. A full year of Ryan. The other three spots are unknown compared to last year, but last year was terrible. A lot more Buxton and Kiriloff. I think fangraphs is bullish, but this isn't a sixty win team. Like some here are saying.
  13. Mike Sixel
    How about sixty, which I was rebutting?
  14. Mike Sixel
    How about 60, which was what I responded to? Ridiculous.
  15. Mike Sixel
    They replaced a negative WAR pitcher (whomever took slot 5) with a guy that should get 2.5-4 WAR. That's not barely moved the needle (though yes, they need one more good SP). 3B is no less bare than it was. If anything, Urshela is more likely to be healthy than Donaldson. C is not good, agreed. And, SS? Not even addressed. *Unless Urshela is playing SS, then I got no idea how SS is defensively.
  16. Mike Sixel
    100 games? No shot. They are projected for 80 wins, for example, on Fangraphs. I don't love this roster, but it isn't a dumpster fire.
  17. Mike Sixel
    And that they won the division twice.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I like Larnach and eventually Martin better than any of those LF options. I would happily take either SS on a 5 or 6 year deal. Not interested in any of those starting pitchers. I'd rather deal for one. I have no idea what they should do with the bullpen, given all the pitchers on the 40 man.
  19. Mike Sixel
    They won two division titles so far. Let me ask you seriously....do you think they are clueless, or that you disagree with some of their decisions?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Kiriloff is not a AAA player. Gordon is a backup, what do you expect? Larnach? Not sure on him yet. Rooker? I'm not a fan, but he's at least a AAAA player, so sure? How many teams do you think don't have players of this quality on their roster? Maybe one of those guys is a starter, maybe. On larnarch and Jeffers.... Your post reads to me like you don't want young players on the roster. Imo, that's not realistic. At some point, you have to give those players a shot.
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'll bite. Which position players are AAA players? (Gordon and Rooker are AAAA or MLB players, other than that?)
  22. Mike Sixel
    Isn't the plan B for nearly every team AAA players? Outside the super wealthy teams, that seems like every team's plan B. I'd be thrilled if Rooker is in Plan B, rather than A. I could be wrong about him, but I just don't seem him playing decent D anywhere. And they have plenty of DH options....
  23. Mike Sixel
    Roster Resource on Fangraphs has all your answers.
  24. Mike Sixel
    No one said give them the benefit of the doubt....how about not assuming the worst as an option? Wait, they signed Buxton, but you think they didn't want to? I'm very confused, given that trading Berrios somehow proved they didn't want to sign him.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Or, Berrios didn't want to sign here. Or, he changed his mind about not testing FA for some unknown reason. We really have no idea.
