    I'm not trying to do anything other than guess.....no defense at all. He doesn't need me for that. I'm guessing Duffey would fetch a decent prospect or two...... Also, to Seth's point, there are a ton of moving pieces right now (maybe moving, anyway).......we literally have no idea. I'm merely offering an alternative to the "Baldelli is stupid" posts.....
  2. Mike Sixel
    That's the spririt!
  3. Mike Sixel
    Good point.

    As I surmised in the game thread, I'm guessing that he didn't go to the pen for two reasons: 1. It is a lost season, and he and the FO want to see if their pitchers can get out of jams. 2. The FO is trying to deal (or willing to deal) the three RPs that were on the bench, and he was instructed not to use them before the game even started. I'm guessing it is both of those.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Agreed. 100%.
  6. Mike Sixel
    They lost because they gave up a grand slam in the 9th......they lost because the bullpen is terrible.
  7. Mike Sixel
    They've traded for A LOT of guys the last two years, and I don't think they've given up one guy in their top 10 list......but yes, it is possible they would deal him.
  8. Mike Sixel
    I can't see them dealing either of those players....but if you threw in Rortverdt, you might be able to get Campusano as part of a deal. Gore? LOVED him his draft year, but he has the yips for sure. Not certain he's fixable at this point.....it has been 2-3 years now.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Truly amazing after the success of the last two years. Everything was wrong. And in huge ways. If they only move Cruz, it will be another failure.
  10. Mike Sixel
    They did deal for a starter yesterday....
  11. Mike Sixel
    Not necessarily. Their GM is a trader.
  12. Mike Sixel
    No chance I trade with them without getting a higher ranked guy than you propose. Pineda and Arraez or Berrios for top prospects. This is the system to go after.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Neither is signing for that. Not even close.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'm hoping that happens....and I agree, the next CBA could make some owners question signing guys to big deals this off season. Though some teams will forge ahead, and a FA only needs 1 to pay/play. I think the minor league stuff is not something you and I will agree on, so I'll leave it at that.
  15. Mike Sixel
    We've been predicting changes in revenue for years, yet it keeps going up. And teams keep selling for record numbers, so owners must think it won't be going down soon. I do agree with your other points.
  16. Mike Sixel
    Agreed for sure......
  17. Mike Sixel
    That deal was genius for the team. It kept their present value costs very low, and they might not have been able to sign the guys they did had they signed him to a traditional deal. I've read several long posts about how great it really was.
  18. Mike Sixel
    Even with Buxton, that would be an awful defensive OF. Awful. I do agree on Polanco/Arraez, though.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Dude got hit by a pitch.....not sure what that shows about him being injury prone at all.....of course, before that, sure, he was hurt a ton, but this latest one teaches us nothing. Sometimes you need to take big risks....with Buxton that is either dealing him in the off season, or signing him. I prefer the latter.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Definitely proving me (and lots of GMs) wrong at this point. He's going to be top 100 on every list next year......this is a great pick by the FO.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Don't forget, he's getting, what, $5-7MM next year, given how few games he played? Going to $15MM per year next year is a big jump for him in guarantees......Making the next 6 years look even better. If he'd sign for $15MM guaranteed for 7 years, I agree with Brock and Chief....make the incentives almost anything resembling realistic, plus insane ones. Because $15MM 7 years from now is going to look like peanuts for an average player....
  22. Mike Sixel
    The Padres, as said above, have avoided dealing their best prospects for great players....I can't see the Twins getting any of them back in a deal. As much as I wanted the Twins to draft Gore, he hasn't been able to throw strikes for three years now. That is the definition of HIGH RISK for sure, as he still has great stuff. I'm not convinced the Twins can fix him..... The only way to get Campusano is to include Garver and Rortverdt in the deal, which might not be a horrible idea....but even then, good luck.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I was just looking at the Mariners' list, and that's the one I want to raid for sure. Berrios for their best SP prospect and one of their top 2 SS prospects, or Pineda for their second best SP prospect....... I agree on Buxton being signed. I don't deal Kepler, unless I'm absolutely blown away. Of course I deal Simmons if possible, along with Happ (agree, PTBNL). If someone will take half of Donaldson's deal and give me a legit prospect, I deal him. But only if I really believe I'll spend the money on SP or SS next year. I keep Garver, unless I can get a legit C prospect for him that is ready next year (like, Garver and Rortverdt for a legit C prospect at AA or AAA, and another good prospect). I'd like to see Miranda and at least 2 minor league starters up after the deadline (Miranda is 3B and DH and maybe 1B). They need to get 1-2 starters ready for next year.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Twins should be aiming for Seattle's SP prospects.......not sure I like any of the names here. Not sure I like any of the Sox prospects all that much.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Where has the FO implied any such thing?
