    Dang. I am pulling for Martin
  2. Mike Sixel
    Fair. I agree that not making outs is the number one ability of a hitter.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Using the phrase nerds to describe the use of math is the opposite of anti intellectualism? Pravda!
  4. Mike Sixel
    anti intellectualism....classic.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Wait or do what? I'm not sure the alternative for fans.....
  6. Mike Sixel
    Where does Julien play, and who sits when he does?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Not good Bob.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Detroit can't hit, and Miami couldn't when Rowson was there....maybe its the players.
  9. Mike Sixel
    I liked the Buxton, Vazquez, and CC signings, and they've all be awful. Just, awful. Look, something is clearly wrong. First part of the fix is getting rid of Kepler. I have NO IDEA if Wallner is a good MLB player, but we know Kepler isn't. Second, Jeffers needs to play 2/3 of the time until he stops hitting. This FO couldn't build a pitching staff the last two years, now they can't hit. My concern is the lack of player development at the hitting positions. Jeffers is it (likely Lewis and AK, but even three players isn't enough after this much time). They seem unwilling to change their ways. They signed Gallo and kept Kepler and traded for Taylor for depth, and now REFUSE to use that depth with Kepler being terrible (again). They refuse to IL guys when they first get hurt, leading to no bench in multiple games. They love Garlick, even though they are HEAVILY RH overall.....I know, sorry, off topic some....
  10. Mike Sixel
    This hasn't aged well at all.....I'm on the fire the FO bandwagon at this point. Jeffers is the only hitter / fielder drafted and developed in 6 years. That's it. Or even traded for, at this point. That's kind of astounding, even by accident you'd think you could luck into more than 1 hitter in 6 years.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I think this is a reasonable take, that I just disagree with, which is cool with me.
  12. Mike Sixel
    What would you do, realistically, with CC and Buxton.
  13. Mike Sixel
    Yup.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I'd move both of those if I could at this point. If Buck is only a DH, I'm ready to move on completely. CC? I don't know....but that foot might be the issue here.
  15. Mike Sixel
    We'll not agree on that first sentence at all. It's not HAWT take to say that at all. I think the plan was to put him in the CF or LF .... once they had CC. But he doesn't want that, and I can understand making him comfortable.
  16. Mike Sixel
    As for Polanco.....they aren't winning with this team, IMO. I'm in blow it up mode, and he has real value, hopefully. Varland, Ober, Lopez, Ryan is a good staff for several years. They need to fix the hitting across the team, and I'm more interested in next year and the following years at this point. Again, nothing REALLY MATTERS unless Buck and CC hit.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Yes, they need to stop playing with a short bench. Either trust the prospects as replacements, or you need to question if you should have your job....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Almost no one (Law, FG, others) saw / sees Lewis as a SS long term. They could all be wrong, of course.
  19. Mike Sixel
    This. Buxton and CC not hitting at all (and Buck not playing CF) is a killer. It is almost impossible to recover from this problem. Until/unless/if those two start hitting, everything else is nibbling around the edges. Other than Kepler being DFA (for Wallner, who I'm willing to roll the dice on all year to see what he's got), I'm not sure what I'd do (I'd likely IL CC and call up Julien, put Farmer at SS and Julien at DH) IF they are around .500 or worse at the deadline, I'm selling Gray and Polanco. Lee or Severino are the 2B of the future (maybe others like Martin if he's healthy). I'm likely keeping Stewart, but if they can get a real prospect for him, I'm dealing him also. I can't imagine one scenario I like where they deal a prospect for a legit OF at this point (maybe, maybe, maybe Miranda for a legit OF, but who's doing that?).
  20. Mike Sixel
    Yes, but I'm guessing they are freeing up money to sign Hockenson, Jefferson, and/or Hunter. And, to have more money for next year.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Give me one of the consensus top 5 (or Dollander), then the best SS / CF available (or C if there is one there), than pitching and OF. Pitching and OF.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Unreal you can't get anything for a guy like that.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I literally said I'd fire them, so I have no idea what you're talking about.
  24. Mike Sixel
    This
  25. Mike Sixel
    Duran, gray, both Lopezes, Ryan all gone under your scenario.. Who are your starting pitchers with three of them gone?
