    I admit to being pleasantly surprised at this news. Cool.
  2. Mike Sixel
    I think that's fair....but the options are dwindling at this point.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Disagreeing it is a failure is different than saying what for 9 months to decide.....those are two very different things. Frankly, I'm disappointed this is on the front page. Make an argument that it isn't a failure, sure. But say that we should use post hoc logic to judge decisions? That's not a good take at all.
  4. Mike Sixel
    that's in the article....and it's the only one announced so far. Which, as has been said, is unusual.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Help me understand, are we not to judge the off season until after the season? If so, that's no way to judge decisions. You can make bad decisions, and things can still work out.....doesn't mean you should repeat those decisions. Seriously, if you drive drunk and don't get hurt, it wasn't a successful decision. So, help me understand. 1. Are you arguing you can only judge things post hoc (which is awful logic)?
  6. Mike Sixel
    People realize the 1960s are fifty years in the past, right? This team has claimed to be in on Cubans all the time, and not signed any in decades.
  7. Mike Sixel
    The moderators deserve a ton of credit for the tone of the site.
  8. Mike Sixel
    The top three could really be in any order, and I wouldn't argue. I prefer Berrios, partly because they have Lewis in the minors....along with lots of corner OFers. But, the contracts Polanco and Kepler signed really up their value......
  9. Mike Sixel
    They've said Chalmers has the ability, but there is a lot of downside risk and probability. Iirc
  10. Mike Sixel
    Given that he hasn't signed, I doubt either team is offering close to the $100MM he's asking for. I have no idea what will happen here.....
  11. Mike Sixel
    No, it's not. Everyone knew they would try to add pitching. It's not even close to the same thing. I do agree with the last part though. I don't think they should lay out their plans in any kind of detail.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Then why does he keep typing it? Of course the other parts matter, but if that's not his point, he should stop typing it over and over.
  13. Mike Sixel
    The players do not make too much money. Either they get it, or the owners.
  14. Mike Sixel
    It is the job of the FO to fix that. And, I'm guessing if they bid the most more often, they'll get someone to come....
  15. Mike Sixel
    I would not have signed Donaldson if they paid that much for a pitcher
  16. Mike Sixel
    Not all five, one of the five. Or the money goes to the owners. Players or owners. I'd rather they add players.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Is Jason Castro the biggest free agent deal for this FO? In four off seasons?
  18. Mike Sixel
    Necessary and sufficient are two different things.... People are saying pitching is necessary, not sufficient.
  19. Mike Sixel
    Yes. That's a terrible trade for Pittsburg.
  20. Mike Sixel
    We've seen teh first two....and the last two are on PRIME, but now you have to pay.....we'll probably just watch a bunch of included stuff, we'll see.
  21. Mike Sixel
    What good is targeting if you miss the target? Is all we care about effort?
  22. Mike Sixel
    I don't know that Smith is a better prospect than the guys they already have. Like, I have no idea. But if he is, I doubt Gordon and Romero can get him to MN.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but it is their job to improve the team. If they can't convince free agents to come here, they need to improve on that ability. That's part of their job, just like every executive in their position.
  24. Mike Sixel
    The KEY WORD was added.......added was the key word in the post.
  25. Mike Sixel
    This was the largest and best free agent starting pitching class in years, maybe decades. They had one, huge, glaring, weakness. So far, they've added a number five starter, and a guy who won't be healthy until July. Would you can that a success?
