    Depth and injury protection. ... They either over reacted to last year, or are right in thinking kids of injury will occur again. If they use the youth, they have no backups. That's my theory.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Which veteran should not start?
  3. Mike Sixel
    He just looked out of position and slower last year. Could have been the coaching.... Good luck to him. Always liked him.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Not getting him without Lee or Lewis. Plus three more prospects. Look at what Castillo brought
  5. Mike Sixel
    Or not Martin, apparently.

    You wanted them to do what with Buxton? Cut him? Trade him? How many more players did you want them to add this year? Buxton and Kiriloff were drafted by the previous regime. In addition to adding two OFers both of whom are elite defenders, they have Gordon, Larnach, and Wallner, potentially Martin or Lewis. If they added more, who would you get rid of? How would you like them to acquire more pitching? They went out and traded a great hitter for a starter. What other starter that was better was traded?
  7. Mike Sixel
    So they should have not added a pitcher?
  8. Mike Sixel
    If I knew Burnes would sign an extension I'd trade for him. But he'll want at least five years.

    Bad teams aren't trading controllable great pitchers. Good teams do.... If the Brewers struggle, I expect a deadline deal, but I don't know what the twins should do. That Zac Gallen trade was awful, and when made I wished the Twins had. I agree, there are few ace types.

    I'd prefer the pohlads donate money to make the world better, but spending more in the team would also be nice. MLR and I have our disagreements, but he's mostly right here, though we can quibble on the margins.
  11. Mike Sixel
    That's true of every team. The only thing a FO can do is add better backups. You can only have 26 and 40 players. Your statement wasn't that they did nothing to mitigate the risk every team has? I clearly read it wrong.
  12. Mike Sixel
    You aren't really answering the question, are you? How many backups do you want? They brought in 2 OFers, 2 INf, and another SP. Everyone whined Gallo was redundant, I said he was here to make sure injuries didn't hurt as much......and they were keeping Kepler for that reason....Did you want them sign another backup? Whose place would he take?
  13. Mike Sixel
    You are expecting backups to be good MLB at every position? I didn't mention the bullpen. They brought in 2 OFers and 2 backup infielders. They brought in another SP. How many backups do you want them to add?
  14. Mike Sixel
    So, you think they sat around and hoped? They didn't bring in two OFers and two backup Infielders? They didn't trade for another SP? What do you want them to do, to prepare for injuries, other than add depth?
  15. Mike Sixel
    If they think he can catch, count me in.
  16. Mike Sixel
    This.
  17. Mike Sixel
    They literally brought in 2 backup infielders and another OFer....they aren't relying on health. I have no idea what this even means. They also brought in another SP....so, they aren't sitting around hoping, they added a TON of depth.
  18. Mike Sixel
    He was playing infield? WHY? Good luck to him. Not as bad as my brother in law tearing his ACL yesterday.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Rumor is that Daniel Jones will sign a new deal paying At least $40 million a year!
  20. Mike Sixel
    Here's the thing....he can languish in AAA as a starter, or make real money in the majors as a reliever
  21. Mike Sixel
    No chance he should be a starter. Zero.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Miller or someone not in the org. I voted the latter, but who knows.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I've always thought teams should get S that are too big, or LB that are too small, and use them to cover TE and blitz..... I don't follow the draft quite like I used to, just fix the D....

  25. Mike Sixel
    Assuming they don't trade up for one of the three QBs I want, I want DL all day. A crazy great LBer is also good, at is a DB.... But that front needs talent.
