    And Martin?
  2. Mike Sixel
    I wouldn't be shocked if Martin gets time in CF if Buck gets hurt and will miss long periods.....but I'd guess it is Gordon for now, with Cave in AAA for emergencies and Celestino needing to hit at AAA for some time before he's an option (long sentence, but you get the points, I hope).
  3. Mike Sixel
    thanks for the info. He was staggeringly bad at first! I had no idea it was that bad. Ya, he should be the DH......
  4. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. I don't know how Martin isn't listed as a LF prospect at this point. I expect him to start there for MN or another team for years to come, putting up 2.5-3 WAR per year.
  5. Mike Sixel
    3-4 at first? I can't see that at all. No way. What's the largest gap using fangraphs or bref?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Also, I don't really see a use for Rooker on this roster. Not with AK and Larnach on it.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Why? So they play 1 game w/o a DH if Jeffers is hurt and Sanchez is the DH. Or, if they PH or something weird, they lose the DH late in the game, then PH for the pitcher's spot. I just don't see it as the risk so many here do. They don't need 3 catchers, IMO.
  8. Mike Sixel
    2017 2nd round pick. Sigh.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Did someone post that Joe Ryan should start in AAA, or was I hallucinating? Because, no. He was their best pitcher after the break last year.
  10. Mike Sixel
    What would he have to prove in AA? He was pretty much great last year. As a college player, who has already played at and dominated AA, I see no reason not to be the starting SS or LF in AAA right now.
  11. Mike Sixel
    Not even a tiny bit.
  12. Mike Sixel
    The amount of negativity is not surprising. My advice to young people, never become a sports fan. It's toxic.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Same. Mostly I'm happy for the team and it's fans.
  14. Mike Sixel
    They definitely had him ranked that low.
  15. Mike Sixel
    This made me smile....
  16. 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.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Bundy and some combo of the guys on the 40 man. Gray, Ryan, Ober, Bundy, guys......and Dobnak.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Huh, I was told Fangrapahs was too optimistic with 79! And that this team was closer to 60 wins than 80?
  21. 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?
  22. 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.
  23. Mike Sixel
    How about sixty, which I was rebutting?
  24. Mike Sixel
    How about 60, which was what I responded to? Ridiculous.
  25. 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.
