    Fair... But how do you have any idea what to do with the OF next year? They have zero starters signed..... And no idea if Celestino, Larnach, Wallner, Kiersey or others can play. They aren't, hopefully, bring in three new starters from outside. That would say a lot about their current prospects.
  2. Mike Sixel
    That's not even close to trading a proven hitter with years of control for a minor league hitter.
  3. Mike Sixel
    That hardly seems like a real point, does it. If you are them, what do you do next year in the OF? They have no starter signed beyond this year..... rudeness isn't an argument.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Oh I agree, they aren't selling. Then they'll just be in the same position next year, without Gray or Maeda, and two more draft picks that won't be around for four years.... And no idea if they have any OFers or not.
  5. Mike Sixel
    To be clear, your article is well written and your arguments have merit. But I really think you are selling the context of this team and next year short.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Good luck finding that on the sellers, and why is a team giving a proven guy up with years of control for an unknown with years of control?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Arizona has the guys I want back for Gray.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Go look at the teams likely to sell, and tell me what you'd want back for Wallner, who might be a legit staring OFer with 6 years of control.....
  9. Mike Sixel
    This team needs to move on or assess its ability to draft and develop players. They have zero young OFers on the roster, not one this FO developed. That's not good....
  10. Mike Sixel
    Kepler has "struggled" on offense for several years......it isn't about "shiny new toys" which is more than passive aggressive toward those that want change. Kepler isn't on the roster next year. They have NO IDEA if Larnach or Wallner are legit MLB players. Gallo isn't on the roster next year. They aren't good enough to win the WS or likely any playoff series with this offense......So, they are literally in the same position next year as this, no LF, CF, or RF on the roster that you know anything about (assuming Buxton isn't playing CF regularly). The FO needs to think beyond just this year, and to do that, they need to learn what they have in two guys that might be as good or better offensively (or might be worse) than Kepler.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I wonder if he isn't in CF because of his arm? That's my hope for the reason, anyway, because he isn't beating out Lee, Lewis, Julien or Polanco for playing time at 2B this year or next.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Sands up, Winder down.
  13. Mike Sixel
    2 more after this year? I thought it was just 2024...which to me is more short/medium....but if it is 2025, then sure, I'd just keep him. And, you are likely right even if it is only next year.....so I'm willing to keep him around.
  14. Mike Sixel
    My thought too....
  15. Mike Sixel
    I'd rather keep Castro over Gordon also, but it's not like Castro is here long term..... And he likely has value. Buxton? Definitely scorching the ball right now. What to do with Julien when polanco returns? It's a small consideration. I'd trade Kepler faster than Buxton can run..... I understand the arguments for keeping Gray and Maeda.... And won't be annoyed if they do. But there are so many buyers, and so few sellers, I don't be annoyed if they get great prospects back. The biggest issue for me is the hesitancy in the OF, and now third base. They just refuse to see the years of data from the OFers.....
  16. Mike Sixel
    The really bad teams have so little I'd want..... At least that would be available.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Kind of early to say. They won last year, lost this year.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Sure, but we are talking about a gig until Lewis returns. What would you do? I'm assuming not Miranda?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Julien at third? No way. Polanco would be better there. I think it will be Castro, with Miranda back in AAA, with Severino sitting in AA wasting a chance to see what he's got
  20. Mike Sixel
    Just finished season three of Castlevania. It's a really good show.
  21. Mike Sixel
    And one of their best young hitters, in Julien?
  22. Mike Sixel
    That thought did occur to me.... But I assume they get tested regularly?
  23. Mike Sixel
    I was never a true believer, but even I'm surprised at this. I'd consider moving Severino to AAA and seeing what he's got. As for the short term? I think I give Miranda two more weeks, and if he's not getting better, I likely call up Severino or Lee.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Saw him interviewed on local tv last night. He comes from a great academic school. Seems like a good young man. No idea how good he is.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Truthy trutiness.
